KwikSafetyCharlotte, NC - BIG KAHUNA Safety Vest [11 Pockets] Class 2 ANSI OSHA Reflective High Visibility Heavy Duty Surveyor Construction Lightweight Industrial Work Gear/Orange XL

Construction/ParkingCompliments from boss and ladies asking if I'm working out. Nope, new vest. Thing is basically tailored and I'm THIN. The key if you don't know is the high durable zipper and taper. Other than that it's same as most class 3 in terms of functionality but to me better lightweight quality. I'm in sun 9 hrs a day

So first of all, I work at Amazon constantly doing repetitive tasks which involves lifting heavy and light packages that can sometimes be cumbersome. I thought I'd buy this vest because I was looking for something better than what they supply you and something that had pockets. I work around a lot of velcro and the vest work supplied would always get caught on the velcro. I don't have this problem at all with this new vest and I've been wearing it for roughly two months. Although when I got the vest I did notice that there were a few left over threads from production, but nothing a pair of scissors couldn't solve. Over time you may notice more stray threads show up but it's not a big deal for me since it's not that bad and the vest is still fine.I put 5 stars for all 3 aspects in this review. It's lightweight to a point where it's strong enough to hold up pretty well but not intrusive. Durability has mostly been summed up above but I have yet to try to wash this. Even though it has directions intending to be washed, I think it will last longer if you just be careful what you get on it -it's only ~$18 after all. Warmth is not necessarily applicable to this vest since it has no warmth providing materials in it. I don't get hot it this vest when I'm busily working. As far as size, I'd say the size chart (which you can find on the manufacturers website) is fairly accurate. What you definitely don't want to do is get the size you usually wear for t-shirts. I usually wear a large so I got the large vest and it ended up being way too big. I sent it back and got a small and it fits perfectly even with a hoodie or jacket underneath and zipped up. I'd definitely get a much larger size if you needed to wear this vest over a heavy coat like a Walls.This vest has 4 exterior pockets; 2 on the chest and 2 at the hip, 2 interior pockets; 1 at each hip, 2 "mic loops" they're called but I use one of mine for my badge retractable that are located on the shoulders, and the zipper itself is nylon with a metal alloy pull which has a pull extension on it. One of the chest pockets has a dedicated phone sleeve (although a little small) and the other has stitched divisions for writing utensils or whatever fits. 3 of the exterior pockets are held closed by velcro that looks a little sketchy so just be careful when you open them. I might suggest running a stronger stitch around the velcro on each side or installing a zipper if you're going to be using them a lot. The exterior hip pockets have grommets at the bottom of them for some reason so any small parts you put there won't stay for long, but if your going to be swimming in this vest at least the water will drain out of those pockets haha. The zipper occasionally sticks when zipped up all the way but nothing so bad that it requires hours to get it undone. I do wish the zipper was a little bit longer but I'm glad it's not up to my neck so I don't get bit by it.Overall, this vest not only met but exceeded my expectations and redefined my idea of a what a vest can be. I know I listed many things here that may sway your interest but I wanted to provide an all-inclusive review of my experience so far. I would highly consider buying another one of these if I needed to.

A lot of excess strings hanging from stitching, no tears or stitching failures after a few months like cheaper vests. Lightweight, doesnt trap a lot of heat like some. Breast pockets could be deeper, they will empty if you reach down to pick something off the ground. Overall a decent vest for the money.

I recently purchased the lime green class two safety vest and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The fit of this vest is excellent, especially for someone like me who is 6 feet tall and approximately 280 pounds. I chose the 2 XL size and it fits perfectly.The zippers and Velcro on this vest work surprisingly well. They are sturdy and secure, ensuring that the vest stays in place even during rigorous activities. I was pleasantly surprised by how well they hold up, even after multiple uses.One of the standout features of this safety vest is the comfortable and durable filling material. It provides ample padding without feeling bulky, making it easy to wear for extended periods of time. I have worn this vest for long hours and it has never caused any discomfort.Overall, I highly recommend this lime green class two safety vest to anyone in need of a reliable and high-quality safety gear. Its excellent fit, sturdy zippers and Velcro, and comfortable filling material make it a great investment. Whether you’re working in construction, roadwork, or any other industry that requires high visibility, this vest is a must-have.

Had other surveyors vests but this one is lightweight, comfortable and good quality. The pockets are suitable for my lightweight items and hold up to my 12' tape measure. Would recommend.....

Good vest's they seem to run a little big in my opinion I got large and had to return it for medium and it's a little big still that could just be me being picky though

I like the unique look and design, but the quality isn’t there. First week a pocket eyelet feel out so that pocket is a giant hole now. Several spots the thread broke where the reflect tape is so it is just flapping around lol.This works great for the office people who only go on the working floor for audits or something like that. Doesn’t hold up for daily grinds…well the one I bought didn’t anyway

I use this product for my job and is the best one has many pockets, reflects very good and the fitting is not tight like otheres ones. Great material.

Lo pedí según las tallas del producto y me quedó perfecto. El material es de excelente calidad y el chaleco es tal cual se describe. Lo volvería a comprar 100 de 100

Excelente calidad , viene medida justa
