Radians SV6G5X Two Tone Surveyor Class 2 Safety Vest, 5X-Large, Green

I had already been using a orange version in three plants and really like it for the convenience of pockets for phone, safety glasses, gloves, small water bottles and pens and markers. Very nice and keeping me cooler I feel this summer with the mesh and lower cut to the front. I really like this style and layout.I am also required to use yellow/green-yellow in some plants and started looking around for the same brand surveyor's vest. I received an email early this week, ordered immediately and received it on the weekend via USPS. Absolutely the same. I am happy and recommend this vest for convenient use.An update: After four years of use I have replaced my original orange vest with a new XL and a XXL (larger for cold weather clothing. Or for being fat...ter) and one XXL yellow to go with my older XL yellow. The orange vests have one addition to them now. The phone pocket now has a clear plastic pocket in front of the original phone pocket for ID and so forth. Pretty neat!

I’m very happy with this vest. The quality is excellent. It’s well put together. The size is as advertised.

As an archaeologist working on a military installation who occasionally requires quick evac and encounters close calls with training fire when miscommunication occurs, this vest is both desirable for it's high visibility and it's functionality due to the pockets.My checklist for a safety vest includes visibility (reflectivity is not an issue for me, so I cannot comment on that), breathability, and easy access to commonly used tools. This vest is bright enough to be seen easily in heavy bush--Blaze is better than Safety Green, which sometimes blends in depending on the time of year and one's location. It is very lightweight, but only the back is breathable mesh. And the pockets are, for me, where this vest shines.The right breast pocket easily fits a standard sighting compasses (Silva Ranger owner) or smaller phones and walkies. The left breast pocket provides ample room and has a pen/pencil/grease pencil holster with 6 bays on the outside that make accessing writing utensils a breeze. Flagging tape and a folding ruler fit well in the lower pockets.Works a treat for my usecase.I cannot comment on OSHA or DOT compliance as I do not use this vest in situations that require such standards.

I am a big guy. 4x tee shirts. I figured this would run small on the size so I ordered a 5x and it is pretty big and baggy on me. A 4x would have fit nicer, and probably still been a bit loose. I love all the pockets, the radio mic straps, and even a couple of pockets on the inside. It is bright as heck, and has reflective bands on it. Quality seems very nice. Zipper doesn't seem cheap as it has a bit of heft to it. I can see it being hot to wear in the Georgia heat, but so far, I have no complaints. Well worth the money. **UPDATED** Buying again after 2 years. Pocket stitching is ripping, clear plastic panel was in pieces. 13 bucks for 2 years? Sure, I'll buy another.

I like this vest more than other vests. It is the one that the larger companies I have worked for issue. It has four pockets, pen pockets, and shoulder straps (good for radios, pen tester, sharpie, etc.) They are very good quality. eventually the stitching will start to come loose, but I just have my girlfriend run it under her sewing machine real quick, and the vest gets a whole new lease on life!

This vest is better than the one it replaced at a 40% savings. I am a large guy and usually safety vests are slightly smaller than they claim (not including the fact your work clothes also take up room inside the vest) This vest is the size stated.with plenty of working room and that equals comfort. The fabric is cool and the construction seems to be very good. It has large reflective surfaces and good sized pockets. I am very pleased with this purchase. Since I wear vests out, I will give an update on longevity ,

Very roomy and comfortable. I have purchased this vest twice. First one was durable and I completed many contractor jobs with this vest. I only purchased a new one because I stained my old vest with oil and other substances. This vest will last forever.

Pretty good vest,but not very breathable.
