The Ergodyne GloWear 8369BK is an ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 long-sleeve hi-vis shirt in standard fabric with a black front design, delivering the highest ANSI 107 visibility class — a 1,240-square-inch fluorescent-background and 310-square-inch retroreflective-tape minimum — with a professional two-tone look at a standard-fabric price, the economical alternative to the performance 8371BK.

Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8369BK gives the two-tone look for less
The black-front two-tone look reads sharper and more professional than all-lime, and many programs want it — but not every crew needs to pay the performance-fabric premium of the 8371BK to get it. The 8369BK threads that: the same black-front aesthetic as the 8371BK, in standard hi-vis fabric at a friendlier price, while still meeting Type R Class 3 with 1,240 square inches of fluorescent background and 310 square inches of retroreflective tape carried in the visible lime panels and tape bands. As hi-vis shirts go, this is the value two-tone Class 3 pick, and the best hi-vis shirts guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match garment to the work zone. It looks the part and stays Class 3 compliant.
Safety first: the 8369BK 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 black front is aesthetic and keeps the required Class 3 material in the visible areas; confirm Class 3 fits your zone 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 8369BK listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 certification; a standard fabric long-sleeve construction; a black front two-tone design; and the same black-front aesthetic as the performance 8371BK with the Class 3 minimums of 1,240 square inches of background and 310 square inches of retroreflective tape. These are true class 3 black front shirt credentials and a genuine two-tone hi-vis shirt — a value standard fabric class 3 shirt. The black panels are styling, kept clear of the required visibility material.
