Why this orange hi-vis hoodie suits highway crews
On a DOT or highway job, orange is often the color written into the spec — and this Sesafety full-zip delivers it at the top ANSI class. It carries 1,240+ square inches of fluorescent orange-red background and 310+ square inches of retroreflective material, so you read clearly against asphalt and equipment day or night. The full-zip front is the practical touch: you dress and undress without pulling anything over a hard hat or safety glasses, and unzip to vent when the work heats up. As hi-vis hoodies go, this is the highway-orange full-zip pick, and the best hi-vis hoodies guide and ANSI/ISEA 107 guide explain how the classes and colors are set. It is the color the road crew expects, with a zipper that respects your PPE.
Safety first: Class 3 covers visibility and conspicuity only — this hoodie is high-visibility apparel, not flame-resistant, not arc-rated, and not rated against a chemical splash hazard. For fire, electrical-arc, or chemical exposure, wear clothing specifically rated for that hazard in addition to meeting the visibility class. Retire any hi-vis garment once its color fades or reflective tape cracks, since faded apparel no longer meets its class. Confirm your site's class and color requirements with the when-do-you-need-hi-vis guide.

This is a true class 3 full-zip hoodie and a genuine fluorescent orange hoodie — a hi-vis zip hoodie orange for road work.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Sesafety Class 3 Orange Hi-Vis Hoodie?
An ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 3 full-zip hoodie in fluorescent orange-red, with 1,240+ square inches of fluorescent background and 310+ square inches of retroreflective material. Its front zip lets you dress without removing head PPE.
What does Type R Class 3 mean?
Type R means roadway/temporary-traffic use, and Class 3 is the highest ANSI/ISEA 107 visibility class, requiring the most fluorescent background and retroreflective material for full-body conspicuity in high-speed or low-light work zones.
Why the full-zip front?
A full-zip opens completely so you can put the hoodie on or take it off without pulling it over your head - meaning you keep your hard hat and safety glasses on. It also lets you vent by unzipping when you heat up.
Why fluorescent orange?
Fluorescent orange-red is an ANSI-recognized hi-vis color and the standard in highway construction and road-crew environments. Many DOT and roadway sites specify orange by policy for that reason.
How much reflective material does it have?
The listing specifies 1,240+ square inches of fluorescent background and 310+ square inches of retroreflective material, meeting the Class 3 maximum-visibility minimums for background and reflective area.
What work is it for?
Highway and road construction, DOT work, surveying, utility and warehouse jobs near traffic or moving equipment where Class 3 orange visibility is required or preferred.
Is it flame- or arc-rated?
No - it is high-visibility apparel, not flame-resistant or arc-rated clothing. For fire or electrical-arc hazards, wear garments specifically rated FR or arc-rated in addition to the visibility requirement.
Is it waterproof?
No - it is a fleece-style hoodie for warmth and visibility, not rain gear. For wet-weather visibility, choose hi-vis rainwear designed to shed water while maintaining the ANSI class.
How does it compare to the orange pullover?
Same Class 3 orange visibility, different closure: this full-zip opens for easy on-off over head PPE and venting, while the pullover is simpler with no zipper. Choose the zip for convenience.
How should it fit?
A hi-vis garment should fit over your base layers without being so loose it snags. Size and color options for this listing are shown on the linked Amazon product page; check the size chart for layering room.
Does washing reduce visibility?
Over many wash cycles, fluorescent color and reflective tape can fade. Follow the care label, wash in cold, and retire the garment once the color dulls or the tape cracks, as faded hi-vis no longer meets its class.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
