Customer Reviews for Milwaukee Large/X-Large Orange Class 2 High Visibility Safety Vest with 10 Pockets

Internet #315194660 Model #48-73-5162 Large/X-Large Yellow Class 2 Surveyor's High Visibility Safety Vest with 27-Pockets by Milwaukee They said it had 27 pockets, I believe them, I am still finding more more pockets every time I wear it. See photos. It is a little warm for summer but not too bad. It will be great for winter or cold mornings. It is very comfortable and the padded collar is a first for me, it doesn't rub you raw. I am pretty chunky so I didn't have to use the internal size adjustment. Everything about the vest says heavy duty from the zipper to the stitching. I've never had a vest so tough. Manufacturer's Comments: Class 2 high visibility reflective safety vest Tear resistant construction - woven 600D Reinforced pockets and edges with additional 600D tear resistant material Moisture wicking stay cool, dry fast Anti-microbial prevent odor and bacteria Rear tablet pocket with dual sided accessibility Comfortable padded collar Heavy-duty zipper closure Clear ID holder and Velcro opening and closure Dual, quick internal size adjustment, better fit Fall protection pass through Dual water bottle pockets 7 internal pockets including water resistant pocket

This safety vest is excellent, and the material is more durable than the standard vest issued by most companies. The internal size adjustment inside the vest gives somebody a contoured design for extended user comfort. The adjustment makes sure the vest is tight and comfortable to your body. There are plenty of pockets that are very useful in a vest: ID holder, pen holder, mic tabs, and other pockets. The product does not have any emitting odors and looks well-made. The seams look sturdy, and I have not had any loose strings. It is a highly reflective material that is bright and excellent for safety. This vest is also great for motorcycle riders since sometimes bikers are often not seen by a motorist, especially during the rain or at night. Overall, I am delighted with this product, which has safety features, is very well-made, comfortable and durable.

Very thick and heavy. A made-to-last vest. Lots of features on it too. Many pockets with velcro for badges and keeping pockets closed. A ID pocket that is clear in the front and a pocket that has places for pens. It has a good fit and has a very thick, solid zipper in front. I cannot stress enough the quality of this vest. Definitely a vest for daily use (or for the occasional user) and has plenty of reflective material on it so you'll be sure to be seen. It also has a slit up on the back of the collar area for pass through of safety/anti falling gear. This has 27 pockets, ample amount for most needs.

Excellent safety vest; got this for use with my RV, so that when I have to stop on the side of the road, or at a rest stop to work on it (which I have), or work on it when parked on the street, other vehicles can see me day or night. I first saw this when the landscape crew in our development started wearing them and it made them stand out even in the shadows of the trees. It is a bright yellow mesh vest with reflective striping front and back and lights up when headlights shine on it. It is extremely light weight and comfortable and can be worn over a jacket if need be. The mesh composition of this vest makes it cool to wear, so essentially you feel like you are not wearing anything. I originally thought that the internal size adjustment was a little cumbersome to get at and use but it just turned out I was going at them wrong. While it says it has 9 pockets, 3 are pen pockets, two are tabs for microphones, and one is a clear ID holder, leaving 3 “real pockets”; however that is plenty and the pen pockets are nice to have. Absolutely a nice find, and recommended. Just get one to keep in your emergency gear for your car: you cannot go wrong.

This Milwaukee brand large / extra large high visibility safety vest is very comfortable. It has plenty of pockets and has the reflective tape bands. The zipper looks to be high quality and very durable. Thin enough to evaporate sweat but thick enough to last a long time. I particularly like the clear pocket for the identification card. The open back support the use of a safety harness when going up a tree or building. The weight adjustment straps are very comfortably placed.

Milwaukee makes the best tools and accessories as evidenced by this high visibility safety vest. It has 27 pockets for all your tools , water, pens, lights and markers. What ever the job calls for it will carry. Great to wear in traffic areas so that drivers can see you day or night. It has several inside pockets to carry items in case it's raining. Made of high quality materials and very reflective. Highly recommend if you are going to be where you need to be seen and have all your small tool with you. The collar is double padded so it doesn't rub on your neck with a great zipper.

This a great, simple safety vest that combines the feature of lots of storage pockets to help in whatever you are doing. I really like the pockets with clear fronts for putting identification cards or project passes that are getting more common. No more lanyard around your neck, in the way, or clipped on badge that you end up losing. The zipper is big and strong that the color and reflective striping will do the intended job. Plenty of room to move around.

Class 3 Mesh High Vis Vest- This is a wonderful vest, very light weight yet sturdy. Loads of pockets including a clear ID pocket and an inside pocket too. I think 6 in all. It has antimicrobial properties to inhibit bacterial growth/stink. It has a zipper closure and internal size adjustment. There are even reflective strips on the sleeves for more visibility. We got them to wear while motorcycle riding...if you can't see this you probably should not be driving!!

The Milwaukee tools surveyors high visibility safety vest is very well constructed and thought out. The vest contains numerous pockets and pouches for you to hold anything from flags, flaming tape, walkie talkie etc. in. The vest features and robust stiking and heavy duty zipper and velcro to hold up to the riggers of daily wearing and abuse. The vest is sized a little on the big size so it will fit over your clothes with no problems

This is a high quality safety vest that successfully combines enhanced safety with versatility and improved productivity. The large assortment of pockets, tabs and holders will work for just about any task where you need to wear a safety vest but need small tools, pads, pens, phones, etc. at your fingertips. The zipper seems robust and I really like the pockets with clear fronts for me to put my ID and job. Visible but out of my way. This is a great safety vest.

This is a professional quality safety vest! The reflective touches make it super safe for visibility. The number of pockets (27!) is amazing! Unfortunately, if you fill those pockets with keys, pens, phone, wallet, etc, it gets heavy. But it can handle all that and so much more. The rear pocket that goes across the lower back and opens on both sides for ease of accessibility is an amazing option to include. It is usually wasted space, but they found a way to make it useful. The open vent on the back gives you the ability to connect body harnesses fr high work. It is not lightweight, due to the additional material used to make it so professional, but the mesh vented material that serves as the base keeps it from getting too warm. I cannot say enough nice things about the quality of this safety vest.

This vest is a Type R Class 2 and is designed for visibility, sturdiness, and storage for everything from water bottles, pens, rulers, cell phone, tablet, etc. In fact it has 27 total storage pockets, 7 of which are internal, and 1 that is water resistant. What impressed me was the overall quality of the material which is antimicrobial, moisture wicking, and tear resistant. Grey looking reflector strips turn bright white when light hits it. A definite plus for night time work. The main zipper on the front is large tooth plastic. The vest itself seems thicker and the overall weight is slightly heavier than other vests I have tried, most likely from the added extra pockets. It does have a pass through for fall -protection hookup.

Got this for blowing snow at the end of my road. Found it's very effective, very well made and the sizing is also very good. Has multiple pockets for keeping those little items you want immediate access to. Zipper closure is good and a big plus over that that only use velcro. If you want one to wear over a coat order it a size larger as it is made to fit over a shirt.

The MILWAUKEE LARGE/X-LARGE YELLOW CLASS 2 MESH HIGH VISIBILITY SAFETY VEST WITH 9-POCKETS is a well made safety vest. The vest is light weight and comfortable to wear. I ordered this vest for wearing while bike riding, to provide High Visibility. The vest is on the large size, and fits up to 3X. The 9 pockets is a nice feature to carry items. I definitely recommend this product.

This really does have 27 Pockets, that are truly usable and functional pockets. I am very pleased with this safety vest. Well made and has sections of breathable mesh in key areas. the materials used are heavy duty and stitched well. It will not fall apart after one use like some cheaper brands. This is durable, well made for multiple times of usages. I like that many of the pockets either have zippers or Velcro to keep them securely closed and not fall out. That is very handy when on the move. The combination of inner and external pockets are nice. I also like that it has a cell phone inner pocket that has a Velcro strap to keep it from falling out. Nice and it fits the cell phone easily, so I didn't have to fight to pull and put the cell phone from in there. The sizing to me on this vest is sized to accommodate if its going over your jacket or coat, thus its roomy so that it will not feel constricted on you. Plus if you really wanted to have it a bit more snug, there are two inner adjustment elastic cord with stops to help you do that. This is even a backside zippered pocket if you wanted to store some papers or a tablet of sort. And get this, it accommodates both left handed or right handed individuals, cause it has a zippered opening on both sides. That is very nice feature too. Now how reflective is it, lets say when I waked into a bathroom with sensor faucets that as I walked passed them, they turned on. That's how reflective this vest is. Funny and spooky at first time it happened. I like the padded collar cause when I have it loaded with equipment and stuff on the vest, it weighs down and with a padded collar it doesn't dig or irritate the back of my neck. The padded collar does help. Even though the package labeled it as Class 2 Surveyor Safety vest, This is a great vest for construction site general areas and especially for those times to do Disaster relief field work. I could of really used a safety vest like this with all these features during the time I was helping out on Hurricane relief efforts. And it has two water bottle pockets, one on each side that has tightening cord on each. I like that feature as well. Very happy with this safety vest. Well made, well thought out and excellent material used.

Spring marks the return of detours, closures, and yearly maintenance of the sides of roadways. Being visible at all times of the day, in all weather conditions is a must. I wear safety colored clothing while running machinery on the range. I want to be highly visible, but remain comfortable with unrestricted movement in high humidity. Milwaukee brand has a L/XL adjustable 10 pocket class 3 safety vest. The vest sports a full nylon zipper with metal stops, with reflective safety stripes on both the front and back of torso and shoulder areas. An adjustable fit belt is located inside on the back section. The 10 pockets include a clear ID holder, 2 chest pockets with a hook & loop secured flap for the right chest, 4 reinforced pen pockets, and an inner pocket on the left chest which is large enough to hold a cellular phone. Two microphone tabs are positioned on the upper chest area. If you are required to wear safety rigging for climbing or for overhead work, a pass through slot is incorporated on the mid back seam. The material is polyester weave, solid on front and sports mesh on the back. The vest is machine washable, but limited to 25 cycles for maintaining color integrity/reflectivity. I found the sizing to be correct. Wearing the vest was comfortable alone, yet provides enough room to add layers underneath without restricted movement. Quality of seams and overall presentation is excellent. Vest comes in a re-sealable plastic pouch. Product is manufactured in Bangladesh.

The Milwaukee high visibility vest is a great addition to your collection of workplace safety gear. Sizing is good and comfortable; I am a size 38 chest and got a small/medium vest. There is a small belt built into the back of the vest that allows you to tighten the vest to help make it fit better if it sits too loose. The reflective tape on the vest is super bright and takes a minimal amount of light to become visible. The back does have an opening for a safety rig if your job requires hooking up to a safety harness. The mesh pattern is a good combination of breathability and light weightiness. My only issue is that I cannot find the “9” pockets as labeled in the description, I only see the 2 main pockets on the front chest, one inside of the vest pocket, then we have small 3 pen pockets and the ID Card pocket. For a total of 7? Not sure what is being counted as the other 2 pockets.

This safety vest by Milwaukee is very well designed and has many functions. The mesh material is designed to keep you cooler and is made of moisture wicking fabric, and is extremely light in weight. It doesn’t feel like you are wearing anything on top of your shirt when you put this vest on. It is a bright orange color and has reflectors which allows for high visibility, especially at night. The vest has 9 pockets including a clear pocket to hold your ID. You can also easily clip on a walkie talkie onto the vest very easily. The vest is also very simple to adjust in size. I got this vest to wear around heavy equipment for safety. The many pockets come in handy to store whatever you might need to carry around. I find being able to clip my walkie to the top of the vest is very convenient. I also use this vest to go running at night in my neighborhood. Overall a great safety vest with many great functions!!

This is a lightweight, breathable vest with very high visibility. The L /XL size is pretty accurate, but if you can wear a medium tee shirt as well, the next smaller size will probably work if you aren't layered for warmth. Their construction seems quite good. I'm not in a business that requires this type of PPE, but live in a rural area with no sidewalks. These vests have saved me from vehicular injuries several times. Made in China.

MILWAUKEE SMALL/MEDIUM ORANGE CLASS 2 POLYESTER MESH HIGH VISIBILITY SAFETY VEST WITH 9-POCKETS ----- We wanted a reflective vest for night time walks , and it is very reflective and bright orange. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is made very well , not a cheesy plastic vest. With nine storage pockets it is good for a contractor or a night time walker like me. Very nice.

I am very impressed with the Milwaukee Surveyor's High Visibility Safety Vest. The 27-Pockets include a clear pocket in front to display identification along with interior pockets and side bottle pouches. The vest is an ample size to fit over clothes, coat or coveralls. It’s a nice durable weight and bright. It has plenty of reflective band on front and back. Milwaukee is a brand I trust.

This is a nice, high-quality safety vest with "tons" of extras. This one has a hole in the back, above the shoulder blades, so that you can attach a full body harness for working in dangerous conditions, It has nine pockets, with one inside the vest. There are two cinches inside, to snug up the vest if you need to. I love the clear ID holder pocket, which saves you from having to wear a lanyard for your ID badges. The light weight mesh material is pretty standard, and the stitching is very strong. I love all the reflective striping. I can highly recommend this vest. It might even save your life... My only complaint is the amount of packing material used to ship an item that cannot be broken. I could have more easily been shipped in a padded envelope.

27 Pockets !!!! I needed a light weight safety vest for the summer, but I didn't know I needed 27 pockets. However, having such an assortment of pockets is more convenient than I originally imagined. The zippered front pocket is the most important for keeping my cell phone, safe, clean & dry. Also, a clear pocket for ID is great, I don't have to pull out my wallet anymore. This vest is labeled Large/Extra Large, but I would say it is definitely an Extra Large. I'm 6 foot, about 195 & it is definitely big on me. Maybe if I load up the pockets (two water bottle pockets) it will feel smaller.

This is a comfortable Class 3 high viz vest with some useful design features. The one draw back from my perspective is that the breast pocket with the Velcro closure isn’t big enough to hold my smartphone. I like the ‘t-shirt’ style sleeves as they more protection from the sun than my more conventional sleeveless vests. The shirt has a built in plastic window in the right side breast pocket which is large enough for a 3 ½” x 3 ½” ID card. The jacket also has two tabs above each breast pocket for radio mikes and these are on the outside as well as inside of the vest. The right side breast pocket has a Velcro tab to keep it closed and also one to keep it open however the pocket isn’t deep enough for to hold my smartphone with the Velcro tab closed. This is a drawback for me since my other vests allow me to keep my phone securely in place and it will likely fall out of this one if I lean forward. The left side inside and outside breast pockets are deep enough to hold my phone however they don’t have the Velcro tab to keep it closed. The left side breast pocket does have two pen slots and a slightly wider slot which can hold an extra item or items measuring up to 2” wide. On the back of the jacket there is a slit between the shoulders near the base of the neck which can be used for a safety harness and there are two small adjusters inside the jacket to allow the waist to be reduced slightly. I have a size 42 chest and there was plenty of extra space in this vest. The vest can be machine washed at 40 degrees and also tumble dried on low. It will maintain its Class 3 rating for approximately 25 wash cycles. The vest is made in China and has a limited lifetime warranty.

I've been a big fan of Milwaukee Tool products for years now, so when I needed a Hi-Vis vest to keep in my new camper I picked this Yellow Class 3 Mesh High Visibility Safety Vest with 9 Pockets and Sleeves in Large/X-Large. It did not disappoint. Manufacturing quality is very good and should mean a high degree of durability. Visibility is excellent in all light conditions, and the mesh fabric keeps things cool in warmer weather. The sleeves provide extra surface for visibility over the traditional sleeveless vest. The pockets make for easy storage of a variety of objects including phones, tools, wallet, etc. I'm very pleased with this product - highly recommended!

Type R, Class 3 safety vest rated to ANSI/ISEA 107-15 ( ANSI 107-2015 ). Type R means for road work and Class 3 is the highest amount of reflective material out of three possible classes. It is not flame resistant (Not FR). It has a single front zipper and tons of pockets. There is an opening in the back to connect a fall arrest harness through the vest. I found this to be the right size for a 180 lb man (I wear medium or large men's clothes). I don't think it would fit someone heavier than that. It was big but workable for a 120 lb female (and she is not busty). It is mesh, so it shouldn't be too hot in the summer (it's not that hot here to test that) and the package says it is antimicrobial to prevent odor and bacteria. I'm going to put one of these into the breakdown kit in the car so I'm more visible if I have to change a flat by the side of the road.

Was good at first but after a couple of weeks the threading started to come off the Velcro on the pocket ripped off
