Why this hi-vis quarter-zip sweatshirt suits layered work
Not every shift calls for a full hoodie. The quarter-zip gives you the same top-tier Class 3 visibility in a trimmer top: a fluorescent yellow-green body with 310+ square inches of retroreflective material, and a short collar zip that slips over your head and opens to vent heat. The lime color reads with maximum daylight contrast against dirt, asphalt, and greenery, and the light build layers cleanly over a base without the bulk of a hood. Where a hooded sweatshirt can feel heavy in mild weather or catch on machinery, the quarter-zip stays trim and out of the way while still meeting the top visibility class. That makes it an easy everyday layer for crews who want to be seen without adding weight. As hi-vis tops go, this is the lightweight Class 3 layer, and the best hi-vis sweatshirts guide and ANSI/ISEA 107 guide explain how the classes and colors are set. It is visibility without the extra weight.
Safety first: Class 3 covers visibility and conspicuity only — this sweatshirt 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.
What the Sesafety Class 3 quarter-zip listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 3 certification; 1,240+ sq in fluorescent background; 310+ sq in retroreflective material; a quarter-zip layerable collar; and a fluorescent yellow-green (lime) colorway. This is a true class 3 hi-vis sweatshirt and a genuine ansi 107 quarter zip — a fluorescent yellow sweatshirt for high-visibility work.
How this hi-vis quarter-zip sweatshirt compares to other Sesafety layers
For a no-zipper hooded cut, the orange pullover, yellow pullover, or black-trim pullover; and for a full front zip, the full-zip black-trim, full-zip orange, full-zip yellow, or safety full-zip yellow. Compare cuts in the hi-vis apparel guide.
Choosing the right hi-vis layer for the job
Class, color, and garment type all matter. For zip jackets, the hi-vis jackets collection and jackets guide; for warm-weather tops, the hi-vis shirts collection and shirts guide; for a vest layer, the vests guide; for wet weather, the rainwear collection and rain-gear guide; and the full high-visibility collection spans every class and cut.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Sesafety Class 3 Hi-Vis Quarter-Zip Sweatshirt?
An ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R Class 3 high-visibility garment in fluorescent yellow-green, with 1,240+ square inches of fluorescent background and 310+ square inches of retroreflective material. Its quarter-zip collar layers over base layers and vents partially.
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 a quarter-zip instead of a hoodie?
A quarter-zip has a short zip at the collar - it slips over your head like a pullover but lets you open the neck to vent and layers cleanly over a base layer. It is lighter and less bulky than a hooded sweatshirt.
What is the fluorescent yellow-green color for?
Fluorescent yellow-green, or lime, is an ANSI-recognized hi-vis color that offers maximum daylight contrast against most backgrounds. It is one of the most common hi-vis colors on job sites for that reason.
What work is it for?
Road and highway work, surveying, utility and warehouse jobs, and any task near traffic or equipment where you need Class 3 visibility in a lighter, layerable top rather than a full hoodie or jacket.
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.
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 sweatshirt 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 a full hoodie?
A quarter-zip is lighter and less bulky, with a vented collar but no hood; a full hoodie adds head coverage and, in zip versions, full front ventilation. Choose the quarter-zip for a trimmer layer over a base.
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.
