Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8220HL adds storage to a mesh Class 2 vest
Workers who carry a phone, a scanner, notes, and small tools through the shift outgrow the two-pocket layout most Class 2 vests offer. The 8220HL answers that with a three-pocket configuration for more carrying capacity, built on a breathable mesh body that circulates air for warm-weather comfort and a hook-and-loop front for quick access — all certified Type R Class 2 with 775 square inches of combined material for environments up to 50 mph. It is the storage-forward option in GloWear's mesh hook-and-loop line. As safety vests go, this is the three-pocket mesh pick, and the best hi-vis safety vests guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match a vest to the work zone. It keeps gear on hand and the worker seen.
Safety first: the 8220HL 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. Keep pocket contents from covering the reflective striping; 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 vest once the fluorescent fabric fades or the tape cracks.
What the Ergodyne GloWear 8220HL listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 2 certification; a mesh fabric body; a hook-and-loop closure; a three-pocket configuration for expanded storage; and Class 2 coverage (775 square inches combined) for environments up to 50 mph. These are true class 2 mesh vest credentials and a genuine three pocket hi-vis vest — a storage-forward hook-and-loop safety vest.
How the Ergodyne GloWear 8220HL compares to other hi-vis

Choosing the right hi-vis garment
Match Type, Class, storage, and closure to the work zone, speed, and what workers carry. For garment families, browse the high-visibility, Class 2 vests, and Class 3 vests collections; for shirts and layers, the hi-vis shirts, hi-vis jackets, and hi-vis hoodies; and for the class decision, the hi-vis shirts guide.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The 8220HL suits construction, utility, survey, and warehouse workers who carry tools and materials and want a cool mesh Class 2 vest with three pockets. 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.
