The Rothco 5-Point Breakaway Safety Vest helps crossing guards, roadside workers and event staff stay easy to pick out as the light fades. Reflective tape two inches wide sits on the chest, the waist and both shoulders, so the wearer holds visibility in low-light conditions near traffic or a crowd.

Lightweight 100% polyester stays breathable through extended wear, and five hook and loop release points let it tear away easily in an emergency, reducing the risk of entanglement. Choose Regular or Oversized in Safety Green.

Why it works:

  • Noticed as dusk sets in: Stand out at a crosswalk or roadside after the sun drops. Two-inch-wide reflective strips line the chest, waist and shoulders for visibility in low light.
  • Comes free in an emergency: The vest is made to let go rather than hold on. Hook and loop closures at the front, the sides and the shoulders make up a 5-point breakaway, so it tears away quickly.
  • Light enough to forget: Keep it on through a long assignment without feeling weighed down. The 100% polyester build is lightweight, durable and breathable.
  • Two sizes for a mixed crew: Outfit staff of different builds from one listing. It comes in Regular and in Oversized, which is 2XL / 3XL.

Who it's built for:

For anyone whose job puts them close to traffic or crowds when daylight runs short. It suits crossing guards, roadside workers and event staff.
