Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published Ergodyne specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Ergodyne GloWear 8320Z is an ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 mesh hi-vis safety vest with a zipper front closure, delivering the highest Class 3 coverage in a breathable, lightweight mesh design for hot-weather and high-exertion traffic-zone work where solid-fabric vests increase heat stress — the mesh version of the standard 8330Z Class 3 zipper vest.

Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8320Z brings mesh comfort to Class 3
Class 3 is mandatory in high-speed zones — but a worker who is overheating in a solid-fabric vest is the worker most likely to take it off, and that is a compliance failure where visibility is critical. The 8320Z answers that with an open-mesh fabric that lets air move through the vest body to cut heat buildup, a zipper front for secure retention, and the full Type R Class 3 coverage of 1,240 square inches. It is the mesh counterpart to the standard woven 8330Z. As Class 3 vests go, this is the breathable zipper 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 Class 3 crews cooler and on-compliance.
Safety first: the 8320Z 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 the reflective striping unobstructed; Class 3 is for high-speed zones, so confirm it fits your zone 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 8320Z listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 certification; an open-mesh fabric body for air circulation; a zipper front closure for secure retention; and the same Class 3 compliance as the standard woven 8330Z (1,240 square inches combined). These are true class 3 mesh vest credentials and a genuine zipper hi-vis vest — a breathable class 3 vest for hot-weather high-speed work.
How the Ergodyne GloWear 8320Z compares to other hi-vis
For the hook-and-loop version of this Class 3 mesh vest, the GloWear 8310HL; for the standard woven Class 3 zipper vest, the GloWear 8330Z; for a Class 3 surveyor vest, the GloWear 8346Z; for a zippered surveyor-style Class 3 vest, the Ergodyne two-tone Class 3 surveyor vest; and for a Class 2 mesh zipper vest, the GloWear 8210Z. The complete hi-vis apparel guide covers the range.
Choosing the right hi-vis garment
Match Type, Class, fabric, and closure to the work zone, speed, and season. For garment families, browse the high-visibility, safety vests, and Class 2 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 8320Z suits highway, DOT, and utility crews in high-speed zones who want the highest visibility class with mesh breathability and zipper security through hot shifts. Size it correctly to keep the reflective geometry in place, confirm Class 3 for your zone, and retire it when the material fades; for outerwear options, compare the hi-vis jackets guide and the hi-vis rainwear collection.
