The Kishigo S5014 is a Class 3 high-visibility surveyors vest built for crews who carry their work on them — radio, pencils, ID, and a tablet — without giving up ANSI compliance or all-day comfort. Mesh front and back move air through the vest in summer heat, the padded neck carries the weight once every pocket is full, and 2" reflective striping on contrasting black keeps you conspicuous from first light through night work.

Key Features

• Certified to both ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 and 107-2020, Type R Class 3 — the highest visibility tier, and the one required for roadway and right-of-way work.
• 2" wide high-performance reflective material set on 2.5" contrasting black, which sharpens the reflective edge against the lime background at dusk and under headlights.
• Padded neck distributes load across the shoulders, so the vest still wears comfortably after you have filled every pocket with tools and gear.
• Zipper front reinforced with durable webbing — the seam that fails first on cheaper vests is the one Kishigo built up here.
• Left and right mic tabs plus two lapel grommets give you factory mounting points for radio hardware and ID without rigging your own.
• Mesh front and back construction sheds heat and dries fast after rain, and the reflective trim is rated to hold its performance through 50 wash cycles.

Pockets

• Right chest 2-tier, 4-division pencil pocket.
• Left chest radio pocket with clear ID pocket and flap.
• Outside left and right full length pockets with grommets.
• Lower left inside full length tablet (iPad) pocket with load-bearing strap.
• Lower right inside full length pocket.
• Hidden back pouch with left and right zipper access.

Common Applications

• Boundary, topographic, and construction staking crews who need a tablet secured against the body while both hands stay free.
• Roadway and right-of-way surveying where Class 3 is the minimum compliance requirement for work near moving traffic.
• Utility locating and inspection work that pairs a handheld radio with a data collector or field tablet.
• Municipal and DOT inspection rounds where an ID badge has to stay visible through the clear chest window.
• Night and low-light operations including paving, striping, and after-hours utility repair.

FAQ

Is the Kishigo S5014 Class 3 rated for highway work?
Yes. It carries ANSI/ISEA 107 Type R Class 3 certification under both the 2015 and 2020 revisions, which is the tier required for workers exposed to traffic above 50 mph and for anyone working in low-visibility conditions.

How does Kishigo size the S5014?
Kishigo sizes this vest by actual chest measurement, not shirt size, and cuts it generous so it layers over a jacket or sweatshirt. A 44" chest takes a large here. The vest starts at medium — there is no small in this style.
