Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published TICONN specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The TICONN 1485 is an ANSI/ISEA 107 hi-vis fleece-interior hooded sweatshirt in fluorescent yellow-lime, listed as Class 3, adding fleece warmth-to-weight and a hood to hi-vis coverage for the cold-but-dry workwear niche between a standard sweatshirt and an insulated or waterproof jacket.

Why the TICONN 1485 fills the cold-but-dry warmth niche
There is a gap between a standard hi-vis sweatshirt and a full insulated or waterproof jacket β cold, dry days where a worker needs real warmth without bulk. The 1485 fills it: a fleece-interior hooded sweatshirt in fluorescent yellow-lime that the listing designates ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 3, with fleece warmth-to-weight, a hood for head, neck, and ear protection in wind, and retroreflective tape on the torso and sleeves. Because the published listing states 107 compliance without detailing the Class 3 material minimums, confirm the certification detail on the product page before specifying it for a regulated zone. As hi-vis hoodies go, this is the cold-but-dry fleece pick, and the best hi-vis hoodies guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match garment to the work zone. It adds warmth and keeps crews seen.
Safety first: the 1485 is high-visibility apparel for being seen in traffic and low light β 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 fleece adds warmth, not flame or arc protection. Keep the reflective striping on the outermost layer, confirm the ANSI 107 class on the listing, and check your zone with the when-do-you-need-hi-vis guide. Retire the hoodie once the fluorescent fabric fades or the tape cracks.
What the TICONN 1485 listing documents
From the published listing: an ANSI/ISEA 107 hi-vis hooded sweatshirt designated Class 3; a fleece-interior construction for warmth-to-weight; a hood and front pockets for hand warming; and fluorescent yellow-lime background with retroreflective tape on the torso and sleeves. The listing states 107 compliance without detailing the Class 3 square-inch minimums, so confirm the certification detail on the page. These are genuine fleece hi-vis hoodie and class 3 hooded sweatshirt credentials in a warm hi-vis sweatshirt.
How the TICONN 1485 compares to other hi-vis
For a sweatshirt-weight Class 3 hoodie, the TICONN 1479; for another value Class 3 hoodie, the TICONN 1491; for a fleece-lined full-zip hoodie jacket, the TICONN 1903; for a Class 3 quilted bomber jacket, the GloWear 8377; and for a Class 3 long-sleeve shirt, the GloWear 8371BK. The complete hi-vis apparel guide covers the range.
Choosing the right hi-vis garment
Match Class, warmth, and layering to the work zone and season β and verify the class on any listing that omits the material detail. For garment families, browse the safety vests, high-visibility, and hi-vis shirts collections; for outerwear and wet weather, the hi-vis jackets and hi-vis rainwear collections and the hi-vis jackets guide; and for the class decision, the Class 3 vests collection and the hi-vis vests guide.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The 1485 suits cold-weather roadway and construction crews who need fleece warmth with hi-vis coverage on cold-but-dry days. Wear it with the striping exposed, size it correctly to keep the reflective geometry in place, confirm the ANSI 107 class on the listing, and retire it when the material fades. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account β volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations, with the walkthrough linked in our footer.
What "Class 3" actually means
High-visibility apparel is specified by ANSI/ISEA 107, and the class number is not a quality ranking β it is a measured area of background and retroreflective material, matched to how fast traffic moves and how complex the background is. Class 2 suits roadway work under about 50 mph; Class 3 requires substantially more material and coverage of the arms, which is why a Class 3 garment is a sleeved jacket or sweatshirt rather than a vest.
For federal-aid highway work, 23 CFR Part 634 requires high-visibility apparel meeting ANSI/ISEA 107 for anyone working within the right-of-way. On other sites, 29 CFR 1926.201 covers flagger visibility.
Two practical limits. Retroreflectivity degrades with laundering and abrasion, so a faded garment can fall out of class long before it looks worn out β check the care label for the rated wash count. And hi-vis is conspicuity only: it is not flame-resistant unless it separately carries an arc or FR rating.

No - the 1485 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 TICONN 1479?

The 1903 is a fleece-lined full-zip hoodie jacket; the 1485 is a pullover-style fleece hooded sweatshirt. Choose the 1903 for a full-zip closure and the 1485 for a pullover fleece hoodie.

What color is it?
The listing states fluorescent yellow-lime background material for maximum daytime conspicuity, with retroreflective tape on the torso and sleeves for low-light and nighttime visibility.
