Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8284O adds arm coverage in orange
Warm-weather roadwork often needs two things a short-sleeve shirt can't give: full-arm sun coverage through long exposure, and an orange colorway that reads against vegetation and terrain. The 8284O delivers both — a long-sleeve design for UV protection in warm and transitional seasons, fluorescent orange-red background fabric with retroreflective striping to keep workers visible day or night, and a button or snap front for easy on and off, all meeting Type R Class 2. It is the orange version of the all-lime 8284. As hi-vis shirts go, this is the orange 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 covers the arms and keeps crews seen.
Safety first: the 8284O 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 8284O listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R, Class 2 certification; a long-sleeve design for UV and sun coverage; a fluorescent orange-red colorway; a button or snap front closure; and 775 square inches of fluorescent background with 201 square inches of retroreflective tape. These are true orange long sleeve hi-vis shirt credentials and a genuine class 2 long sleeve shirt — a full-arm safety shirt for warm-weather roadwork.

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 8284O suits road construction, utility, and flagging crews who want orange Class 2 visibility with full-arm sun coverage in warm and transitional 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.
