The Rothco Security 5-Point Breakaway Safety Vest gives security officers a hi-vis uniform layer that slips on over whatever they already wear. Through a long shift on duty, 2-inch wide reflective tape across chest, waist and shoulders keeps them visible in low-light conditions.

Lightweight polyester adds no bulk, and closures along the front, sides and shoulders form a 5-point breakaway that lets the vest tear away for added safety in emergencies.

Why it works:

  • Visible late into the shift: Keep your presence clear when daylight is gone. The 2-inch wide reflective tape covers chest, waist and shoulders for low-light conditions.
  • Layers over what you wear: Pull it over other clothing without adding bulk. This hi-vis uniform vest is lightweight, made for long shifts while on duty.
  • Breaks free for safety: Gain an extra layer of safety in an emergency. Hook and loop closures along the front, sides and shoulders let it tear away at five points.
  • Ready for daily duty: Wear it day after day. Durable polyester fabric is designed to withstand the rigors of daily use while keeping you comfortable.
  • Sizes for the whole crew: The Regular size fits S to XL, and an Oversized 2XL / 3XL is also available.

Who it's built for:

For security officers holding a uniform post through long hours where being seen counts. It also fits construction and other occupations that require high visibility.

  • Visibility: 2-inch wide reflective tape across chest, waist and shoulders
