Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8274 Lime fits female crews properly
Unisex hi-vis shirts fit many women poorly — excess fabric shifts the reflective material out of position and reads as unprofessional. The 8274 Lime solves that with a women's contoured cut shaped at the hip and chest, keeping the Type R Class 2 fluorescent and retroreflective material where it belongs, in a fluorescent yellow-green that contrasts strongly in urban and orange-equipment-heavy environments. It is the lime colorway of the women's 8274, alongside the orange version. As hi-vis shirts go, this is the women's lime Class 2 pick, and the best hi-vis shirts guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match garment to the work zone. It fits, positions correctly, and keeps women workers seen.
Safety first: the 8274 Lime 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. Short sleeves trade arm coverage for ventilation, so add sunscreen where sun exposure is a concern; 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 8274 Lime listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R, Class 2 certification; a women's contoured fit shaped at the hip and chest; a fluorescent yellow-green (lime) colorway; short-sleeve moisture-wicking polyester; and 775 square inches of fluorescent background with 201 square inches of retroreflective tape. These are true women's hi-vis shirt credentials and a genuine class 2 short sleeve shirt — a properly fitted lime safety shirt.
How the Ergodyne GloWear 8274 Lime compares to other hi-vis
For the orange version of this women's shirt, the GloWear 8274 Orange; for a men's all-lime short-sleeve, the GloWear 8282; for a performance short-sleeve, the GloWear 8292; for a Class 3 short-sleeve, the GloWear 8367; and for an all-lime long-sleeve, the GloWear 8284. The complete hi-vis apparel guide covers the range.

Where it fits by job and crew orders
The 8274 Lime suits female road, utility, and municipal workers who need a properly fitted Class 2 shirt in lime.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ergodyne GloWear 8274 Lime?
A women's contoured ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Type R, Class 2 short-sleeve hi-vis shirt in fluorescent yellow-green. It is shaped at the hip and chest for correct fit and PPE positioning on female workers.
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 background and 201 square inches of retroreflective tape, as the listing states.
What makes it a women's fit?
The listing states a contoured cut shaped at the hip and chest, which positions the reflective material correctly and avoids the ill-fitting oversized problem common with unisex workwear.
Why choose lime over orange?
Lime (fluorescent yellow-green) offers strong contrast in urban and orange-equipment-heavy environments; some programs and specifications prefer or require it. The orange 8274 is the same shirt in fluorescent orange-red.
Is this chemical or cut protective clothing?
No - the 8274 Lime 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 8274?
Both share the same women's contoured Type R Class 2 short-sleeve design; this is the fluorescent yellow-green lime colorway, while the 8274 Orange is fluorescent orange-red. Choose by required or preferred color.
Is short sleeve suitable for sun exposure?
Short sleeves trade arm coverage for warm-weather ventilation; pair with sunscreen or choose a long-sleeve shirt where sun exposure is a concern.
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.
Does it work day and night?
Yes - the fluorescent lime background provides daytime conspicuity and the retroreflective tape returns headlight and work-light beams at night.
What sizes are available?
Confirm the women's 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.
