Does Carhartt High-Visibility and Color Enhanced Clothing
meet national clothing standards?
Yes and no. All Carhartt High-Visibility Clothing meets ANSI/ISEA 107-2004 garment class requirements.
However, there are no established visibility requirements for Color Enhanced workwear at present.
What’s the difference between Class 1, 2, 3 and E High-Visibility apparel?
Here’s the breakdown:
Class 1: This apparel provides the minimum amount of necessary material to differentiate the wearer
from the work environment. Carhartt does not offer Class 1 garments.
Class 2: This workwear provides superior visibility by the additional coverage of the torso, and is more
conspicuous than Class 1.
Color Enhanced
Class 3: This clothing is intended to offer greater visibility to the wearer in both complex backgrounds and
through a full range of body motions. Class 3 visibility is achieved with the addition of background
and retroreflective material to the apparel’s arms and/or legs.
Class E: This standard applies to trousers or shorts that are used to create a high-visibility ensemble.
When Class E bottoms are worn with a Class 2 or 3 upper-body garment, the overall classification
is Class 3.
What’s special about the reflective material in Carhartt High-Visibility Clothing?
The 3M Scotchlite reflective material used in all Carhartt High-Visibility Clothing uses a technology known
as retroreflection, which helps the eye perceive light during nighttime and low-light conditions. Retroreflection
occurs when light rays are returned directly to the original light source, such as car headlights. Because
little light is scattered when the light is returned, retroreflective materials appear brightest to motorists
and vehicle operators.
Bright lime or bright orange?
Which high-visibility color should I choose?
Workers should choose the color that will make them more conspicuous in their particular environment. Bright
lime garments will best differentiate workers from orange-colored work vehicles, signs and construction barrels.
Bright orange apparel is recommended for those working in leafy green areas.
