Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8284Y2 pairs full-arm coverage with maximum daytime lime
Some programs standardize on the bright lime/yellow look for maximum daytime conspicuity — and still need full-arm coverage for sun and cooler-weather versatility. The 8284Y2 is built for that: the Y2 lime/yellow fluorescent colorway across a long-sleeve body, with 775-plus square inches of fluorescent material and 2-inch retroreflective tape meeting Type R Class 2, for road, utility, and rail work through the seasons. It is the lime/yellow colorway of the 8284 long-sleeve, alongside the orange 8284O. As hi-vis shirts go, this is the lime/yellow long-sleeve Class 2 pick, and the best hi-vis shirts guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match garment to the work zone. It maximizes daytime lime and covers the arms.
Safety first: the 8284Y2 is high-visibility apparel for being seen in traffic and low light — it is not protective clothing rated for a chemical splash hazard, cut, flame, or arc. For those hazards, wear the appropriate rated PPE, including chemical-resistant gear for chemicals. The long sleeves add sun coverage, not flame or arc protection; Class 2 covers up to 50 mph, so step to Class 3 for high-speed zones and confirm with the when-do-you-need-hi-vis guide. Retire the shirt once the fluorescent fabric fades or the tape cracks.
What the Ergodyne GloWear 8284Y2 listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 certification; the lime/yellow (Y2) colorway; a long-sleeve design for sun coverage and cooler-weather versatility; 2-inch retroreflective tape; and 775-plus square inches of fluorescent material with 201-plus square inches of retroreflective tape. These are true lime long sleeve hi-vis shirt credentials and a genuine class 2 long sleeve shirt — a full-arm safety shirt for roadway, utility, and rail work.
How the Ergodyne GloWear 8284Y2 compares to other hi-vis

Choosing the right hi-vis garment
Match Type, Class, color, and sleeve length to the work zone and season. For garment families, browse the high-visibility, safety vests, and Class 2 vests collections; for cold and wet, the hi-vis jackets, hi-vis hoodies, and Class 3 vests; and for vests, the hi-vis vests guide.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The 8284Y2 suits road construction, utility lineworkers, and rail maintenance crews who want the bright lime/yellow colorway with full-arm coverage across warm and cooler weather. Size it correctly to keep the reflective geometry in place, step up to Class 3 for high-speed zones, and retire it when the material fades; for outerwear options, compare the hi-vis jackets guide and the hi-vis rainwear collection.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ergodyne GloWear 8284Y2?
An ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 long-sleeve hi-vis shirt in the lime/yellow (Y2) colorway. It pairs 775-plus square inches of fluorescent material and 2-inch retroreflective tape with full-arm sun coverage.
What is the Y2 colorway?
Y2 is Ergodyne's bright lime/yellow fluorescent colorway, delivering maximum daytime visibility across roadway, utility, and rail work. It is the lime/yellow version of the 8284 long-sleeve.
What does Type R, Class 2 mean?
ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R covers roadway workers, and Class 2 requires a minimum of 775 square inches of fluorescent material and 201 square inches of retroreflective tape, as the listing states.
Why choose a long sleeve?
Long sleeves add UV and sun protection, warmth, and full-arm coverage that short-sleeve shirts do not, useful for warm-weather sun exposure and cooler-weather versatility.
Is this chemical or cut protective clothing?
No - the 8284Y2 is high-visibility apparel for being seen, not rated for a chemical splash hazard or cut protection. Use chemical-resistant or cut-rated PPE for those hazards.
How does it differ from the orange 8284O?
Both are Type R Class 2 long-sleeve shirts; the 8284Y2 is the lime/yellow (Y2) colorway, while the 8284O is fluorescent orange-red. Choose by required or preferred color.
How does it differ from the 8284?
The 8284Y2 is the specific Y2 lime/yellow colorway listing of the 8284 long-sleeve line; confirm the exact colorway and sizing you need on the product page.
How wide is the tape?
The listing states 2-inch retroreflective tape, which returns headlight and work-light beams to vehicle operators after dark and in low light.
When is Class 3 needed instead?
Class 3 is required for high-speed traffic above 50 mph and complex backgrounds. Confirm the class with the ANSI 107 guidance and your traffic control plan.
What sizes are available?
Confirm the size and fit options on the product listing; a properly fitted shirt keeps the reflective geometry positioned for its rated visibility.
How do I care for it?
Follow Ergodyne's care instructions and laundering limits; retire the shirt when the fluorescent fabric fades or the retroreflective tape cracks, since faded material no longer meets its visibility rating.
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.
