Milwaukee….

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.

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.

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.

The key for good safety vest for me if ones that are unobtrusive when worn. Some are stiff and non-pliable and feel like they hinder movement or lack breathability. I am happy to say this one doesn't do those things. It is lightweight and supple and has very good breathability. Unlike alot of jersey style mesh vest I have used this one isn't scratchy and rough. It fits comfortably and almost don't even think about it being on. It has a fair amount of pockets and two way Velcro style closures that hold pocket flaps both closed and open. It seems well thought out this vest. The only complaint I have is one I usually have with cheaper safety vest and that is the collar. They always have a certain roughness to them that is uncomfortable if the happen to ride up onto your neck. that though depends on how well the vest fits you or if you are doing alot of bending that might cause the vest to ride up.

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

This MILWAUKEE LARGE/X-LARGE ORANGE CLASS 2 HIGH VISIBILITY SAFETY VEST WITH 10 POCKETS is a great product. I also got this product in the bright yellow as well. My husband uses this orange one. For the size, it is accuarate in men. This vest has pocket features in the front which come in handy. I like the brightness of it and it is light weight so it does not disturb working. The visability aspect is on point with the colors as well. I would recommend this vest for anyone who is working outdoors, or even indoors, for a good visability aspect of safety.

This MILWAUKEE SMALL/MEDIUM YELLOW CLASS 2 HIGH VISIBILITY SAFETY VEST WITH 10 POCKETS is very bright. I like this product for the visability aspect in the context of safety. I like the multiple pocket features that it has in front to put small items. It is light and versitile. I use it when I work around the house, especially outside when there are people in the surrounding. For the size, I would say I am petite for a woman, but the small/medium size that I got is men size, so it fits a little big but it still works for me.

MILWAUKEE 2X-LARGE /3X-LARGE YELLOW CLASS 2-HIGH VISIBILITY SAFETY VEST WITH 10 POCKETS, is a really very nice and comfortable vest ! Very soft, yet light, and seemingly quite strong. Has 10 pockets, some have velcro closures, and inside pocket as well ! This vest is so bright, it will definitely catch your eyes, and that is what helps you stay safe. And along with a zip up front, this is really a great vest. Another quality product from Milwaukee !

Very versatile comfortable vest with a lot of pockets. With its 10 pocket it has places for all you need. These vests are great to use on the job for construction, crossing guard, carpool, recess, in emergency situations, or wearing while jogging/walking in low light conditions or at night for easy visibility. The size S/M fits a wide range of sizes. It has two straps to cinch in at the weights for a more customizable fit. It is loose with large arm holes. I am a woman’s size 4/6 in cloths and my friend who is a 10/12 could wear this vest just fine. My husband can wear it with no issues and he wears a large though it is more fited on him. The orange fabric is soft/silky with a slight stretch to it. The gray reflectors are flexible plastic and catch light very well. I like the that it has a zipper closure. It has 4 pencil/pen pockets with reinforced base to prevent sharp objects from poking through. They are on the left in front with a full-size pocket behind it, great for a note pad. There is a clear pocket on the right side which is great for work ID if you are using this on the job. just behind the clear pocket is a second pocket. These two pockets have a flap that can be velcroed closed or open for a secure one-hand access to your cell phone. It has three black straps for connecting walkie-talkie, clip or a badge on (one inside). There is also a pocket on the inside of the vest. On the back has mesh fabric with an air vent to help keep your body cool and increase airflow. This is a very comfortable vest. I feel much safer wearing this vest when I need to increase my visibility. It is very durable. I have had mine for many months and still looks great even after several washings. It is machine washable. I recommend this vest.

This high visable vest is perfect for riding a motorcycle and being seen. You will really stand out and be seen by vehicles as you ride. We have done many fallen soldier escorts wearing these and love them. We also use them for safety while working nights for cable company. They are extremely reflective and bright. The pockets are perfect for holding the small things you need including cell phone.

Milwaukee makes a great vest! It's the best high visibility safety vest that I've ever purchased. 15 convenient pockets, sturdy stitching and zipper, great fit and styling set this vest apart. Quality is not compromised making it a good value. I got one for my 93yo dad who still jogs about three miles a day! I want him to be very visible on his route and he loves the fit and features.

Milwaukee is well known for making great tools that are durable and reliable. They've brought that same attention to quality in their high visibility safety vest. Well ventilated, sturdy stitching and zipper and 10 convenient pockets make this vest a good choice. Our local Citizen's Response Team uses them in our community outreach and find them excellent for parking and other support details.

My husband is using these vest for his hunting needs as well as the groups of hunters he hosts. The vest are super high quality! They are light weight but durable.

I like this vest because I do feel safer wearing it. I personally use it when I ride my bike. I'm not in construction. I got it so that other drivers can see me better when on the road. It has reflective bands all over it, front and back. Is very easy to put it on over the motorcycle jacket, and super easy to take it off. The material its made of is super tough and at the same time flimsy enough to store it in the saddle bags, and most of the time I drape it over the windshield as a reminder to wear it every time. I think they should be selling these at motorcycle shops also. It has so many pockets making easy to carry your phone and any other easy to reach items. Some pockets have divisions to carry a pen, comb, etc. and some are open and some have closure flaps so nothing falls out. Even in the summer is OK to wear it because it is well ventilated. Remember most leather jackets are hard to see; wearing one of these over it it's a great safety factors. I've told other riders about how nice these are.
