Safety PE

Wholesale Hi-Vis and Safety Apparel: ANSI-Compliant Vests, Jackets, and More

When visibility on the job is a compliance requirement, the gear you put on your crew needs to meet the standard — not just look the part. The Safety PE collection at Bulkthreads pulls together ANSI 107-rated vests, hi-vis jackets, and high-visibility tees from the brands that workwear buyers trust: CornerStone, Kishigo, Berne Apparel, and Port Authority. Whether you're outfitting a construction crew, a road crew, a warehouse team, or a volunteer event with safety requirements, this collection covers the full range — from economy single-pocket pullovers to zippered multi-pocket vests to insulated outerwear built for winter job sites.

The most commonly ordered style in this collection is the CornerStone CSV100 ANSI 107 Class 2 Economy Mesh One-Pocket Vest — a pullover safety vest that meets Class 2 visibility requirements and is priced for high-quantity orders. It's the standard choice for events, parking lot management, and any situation where you need a large quantity of vests quickly at a controlled per-unit cost. For crews that need a zippered closure instead, the CSV101 Economy Mesh Zippered Vest adds that convenience at a still-accessible price point. Buyers who need more pockets and storage will find the CSV104 Six-Pocket Zippered Vest a well-rounded option for tradespeople who carry tools and devices on site.

Class 3 Vests, Hi-Vis Tees, Bomber Jackets, and Specialized Safety Styles

For higher-risk environments that require Class 3 visibility — road work, utility crews, and any situation with proximity to moving traffic or equipment — the CornerStone CSV106 Class 3 Surveyor Mesh Zippered Two-Tone Vest steps up with the reflective tape coverage that the higher classification demands. The CSV105 Class 2 Surveyor Vest and CSV407 Dual-Color Safety Vest offer additional two-tone configurations for teams that want a more professional, branded look while still meeting ANSI compliance.

Kishigo rounds out the vests with several strong options of their own. The 1547–1548 Zippered Mesh Economy Class 2 Vest and 1537–1538 Double-Pocket Zippered Economy Vest are both widely used by contractors and safety managers who want a reliable Class 2 vest with more features than a basic pullover. For crews that need a breakaway option — required in some traffic control and emergency response contexts — the 1535–1536 One-Pocket Breakaway Vest covers that requirement. Kishigo's 9114–9115 Premium Black Series Class 2 T-Shirt is worth noting for crews who want a more polished, modern hi-vis look — the black body with lime or orange reflective tape is a popular choice for security teams and event staff who want visibility without the traditional all-yellow aesthetic. For cold-weather operations, the Kishigo JS121–122 Economy Bomber Jacket provides ANSI-compliant outerwear insulation. Berne's HVV042 Hi-Vis Economy Vest and HVV046 Multi-Color Vest round out the collection with the durability Berne is known for in the workwear space.

All styles ship same day via UPS Ground and typically arrive in 1–3 business days. Automatic volume discounts apply at checkout across all order sizes — no codes required — and free returns are included on every order. Related collections: Wholesale Workwear, CornerStone, Kishigo, Berne Apparel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 safety vests?

ANSI 107 Class 2 vests are required for workers in environments with speeds up to 50 mph — construction zones, warehouse floors, parking management, and most general job site applications. Class 3 vests require more reflective tape coverage and are required for workers exposed to higher-speed traffic, such as highway road crews, utility workers near active lanes, and emergency responders. If you're unsure which class your crew requires, checking with your site's safety officer or referencing the ANSI/ISEA 107 standard for your specific work environment is the most reliable approach.

What is the most affordable ANSI-compliant safety vest at Bulkthreads?

The CornerStone CSV100 Class 2 Economy Mesh One-Pocket Vest is the lowest-priced Class 2 option in the collection — a pullover style with a single pocket that meets ANSI 107 requirements at a price point designed for high-volume orders. The Kishigo 1547–1548 Zippered Mesh Economy Vest is a comparable option with a zippered closure at a similarly accessible price.

What safety vest works best for traffic control and emergency response crews?

For traffic control applications where a breakaway vest is required, the Kishigo 1535–1536 One-Pocket Breakaway Vest is the appropriate option — breakaway closures are a safety requirement in some traffic control and emergency response contexts where a worker could become entangled. For road crews and utility workers who need Class 3 coverage, the CornerStone CSV106 Class 3 Surveyor Mesh Zippered Two-Tone Vest provides the higher reflective tape coverage that Class 3 demands.

Are there hi-vis options beyond the standard yellow vest?

Yes. The Kishigo 9114–9115 Premium Black Series Class 2 T-Shirt uses a black body with lime or orange reflective tape — a popular choice for security teams, event staff, and crews where a less utilitarian appearance is preferred while still meeting ANSI Class 2 requirements. The two-tone and dual-color vest options from CornerStone — the CSV105, CSV106, and CSV407 — also offer a more professional, branded look compared to a standard single-color safety vest.

Do safety apparel orders at Bulkthreads qualify for volume discounts?

Yes. Automatic volume discounts apply at checkout across all safety and hi-vis styles — no codes required. All orders ship same day and typically arrive in 1–3 business days, with free returns on every order.
