How to Choose the Right Color for Your Hi-Vis Workwear? | ProtectX Guide

🔶 1. For High-Visibility Standards (Class 2): Go with Neon Green or Orange

If you’re working in environments with moving traffic, road construction, logistics yards, or any job requiring ANSI/ISEA Class 2 compliance, Neon Green and Orange are your best choices.

These bright, fluorescent colors provide maximum daytime visibility and are approved for use in most regulated work zones.

✅ Recommended for:

• Roadwork

• Airport ground operations

• Traffic control

• Logistics centers

ProtectX offers multiple Class 2-compliant styles with strong reflective striping in both Neon Green and Orange.

🔵 2. For Dirty or Rough Environments: Choose Blue

In areas like landfills, waste management, recycling facilities, or construction sites where dirt and stains are unavoidable, Blue hi-vis clothing is a practical and professional option.

While it may not be fluorescent, Blue still includes reflective striping for nighttime or low-light visibility, while better hiding stains from daily tasks.

✅ Recommended for:

• Waste handling

• Recycling stations

• General labor or utility work

• Warehousing and inventory

🎨 3. No Strict Rules? Pick Your Favorite Color!

If your workplace doesn’t require a specific safety color, feel free to choose what fits your style, team branding, or personal preference.

ProtectX offers a variety of color options so you’re not limited to just orange or green — you can choose a color that makes you feel good and looks great on the job.

✅ Ideal for:

• Indoor environments
