Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8230Z is the standard Class 2 spec

When a contractor safety plan or OSHA compliance program just says "Class 2 vest," this is usually the vest it means. The 8230Z is GloWear's foundational Class 2 two-tone zipper vest — lime-yellow background with silver retroreflective striping in the waist-band and shoulder-band arrangement, a zipper front for secure retention, and Type R Class 2 coverage (775 square inches) for environments up to 50 mph. The lime-and-silver contrast distinguishes the worker's shape against varied environmental backgrounds. As safety vests go, this is the standard two-tone Class 2 pick, and the best hi-vis safety vests guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match a vest to the work zone. It is the config most programs specify.
