Why the Ergodyne GloWear 8371BK tops the shirt line
When a job demands the highest visibility class but a crew also wants a sharper look and summer-ready fabric, the 8371BK is the top of the GloWear shirt range. It meets Type R Class 3 — the 1,240-square-inch fluorescent-background and 310-square-inch retroreflective-tape minimum that makes a worker visible farther out and in lower light than Class 2 — while a black front reduces the all-lime profile and moisture-wicking fabric manages sweat during active work. As hi-vis shirts go, this is the top-tier performance pick, and the best hi-vis shirts guide and ANSI 107 guide cover how to match garment to the work zone. It gives maximum visibility with a professional edge.
Safety first: the 8371BK 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 black front keeps the required Class 3 material in the visible areas; confirm Class 3 fits your zone with the when-do-you-need-hi-vis guide. Retire the shirt once the fluorescent fabric fades or the tape cracks, since faded material no longer meets its rating.
What the Ergodyne GloWear 8371BK listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 certification; performance moisture-wicking fabric; a black-front long-sleeve design; and the Class 3 minimums of 1,240 square inches of background and 310 square inches of retroreflective tape. These are true class 3 performance shirt credentials and a genuine black front hi-vis shirt — a top-tier ansi 107 class 3 shirt. The black front is styling, kept clear of the required visibility material.
How the Ergodyne GloWear 8371BK compares to other hi-vis
For the Class 2 performance counterpart, the GloWear 8294BK; for an all-lime Class 3 short-sleeve, the GloWear 8367; for a value all-lime long-sleeve, the GloWear 8284; for a Class 3 surveyor vest, the GloWear 8346Z; and for a Class 3 jacket, the GloWear 8377 bomber. The complete hi-vis apparel guide covers the range.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Ergodyne GloWear 8371BK?
An ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R, Class 3 performance long-sleeve hi-vis shirt in moisture-wicking fabric with a black-front design. It pairs the highest visibility class with a professional look for road, utility, and infrastructure work.
What does Type R, Class 3 mean?
ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R covers roadway workers, and Class 3 is the highest visibility level, requiring a minimum of 1,240 square inches of fluorescent background material and 310 square inches of retroreflective tape, as the listing states.
How do the black front and Class 3 coexist?
The black front section reduces the all-lime visual profile while the design keeps the Class 3 background material and retroreflective tape requirements in the visible areas of the garment, so it stays certified.
What does the performance fabric add?
Moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric pulls sweat away from the skin, keeping the wearer drier and more comfortable during physically active work in warm conditions.
Is this chemical or cut protective clothing?
No - the 8371BK 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 Class 2 8294BK?
The 8371BK is Class 3 (the highest visibility class); the 8294BK is the Class 2 performance counterpart with a black bottom. Choose the 8371BK for high-speed zones needing Class 3.
When is Class 3 required?
Class 3 is required for high-speed traffic above 50 mph and complex or low-light environments. Confirm the class with the ANSI 107 guidance and your traffic control plan.
Does it work day and night?
Yes - the fluorescent background provides daytime conspicuity and the retroreflective tape returns headlight and work-light beams at night.
What sizes are available?
Confirm the size and fit options on the product listing; a properly fitted shirt keeps the reflective geometry positioned for its rated visibility.
Does short sleeve exist for this style?
This listing is the long-sleeve version; for a Class 3 short-sleeve, see the all-lime 8367. Choose long sleeve for arm coverage or short sleeve for summer ventilation.
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.
