Hunter Orange MOLLE Vest

The vest I wear for AT&T is both Yellow and Orange. I guess they're not taking sides!

There's safe, and there's AT&T safe.

So that's why they charge so much for their cell phone plans.

No, they charge that much because you are willing to pay it!

Or...option two - the guide is olde, and when the others were revised no one bothered/thought/wanted to deal with it.

Ain't that the truth?

I prefer orange too, but will not turn any ground team member away for wearing an ANSI II lime green vest.

I'm not back in CAP yet, so this is kinda moot. But I'm right there on the line, on this.

FWIW, the NESA packing lists never got updated to include lime, either. They still say reflective orange. And yet, their picture gallery shows lime all over the place.

And they still issue everybody black ball caps too, even though the task guide says GT headgear is supposed to be either the BDU hat or a brightly colored baseball cap, so I guess their uniform standards don't really help too much...

I think lime green works great for urban environments, but orange is better for wilderness ones. Personally, I have an easier time seeing someone wearing orange in the woods from a great distance than I do lime green.

Blaze orange became known as the international safety color because the US Army and the US Department of the Interior conducted visibility tests back in the '40s for various colors, and bright orange was found to work the best against the widest variety of background colors.

I am not sure whether or not they had access to fluorescent lime back then, or whether it was tested.

But I do know that in bright, high-glare lighting conditions, lime green can blend right in with the highlights on green vegetation in wilderness environments.

Some of you folks have not "met" TexasBEAST yet. He is the Patron Saint of Blaze Orange!!! :clap:

I just heard a Gregorian chant start going off in the back of my mind!

The Gospel according to BEAST. Bound in orange-dyed leather. I'd like that!

That's probably the best bet. Orange vest with lime reflective stripes. Best of both worlds!

Hello everyone,  it's been a while since I posted and we have been busy.  We have quite a few new products that are now available on our website www.dutyapparel.com.  Here is a picture of one of our new hi vis packs. It's constructed of our 600D hi vis yellow Cordura fabric.



Tons of room to load a 24 hour pack with MOLLE webbing to accept our pouches.

The current version of this vest DOES NOT have the ANSI/ISEA 107-2010 Class 2 label.

You sure about that?

[Storm Chaser]

Maybe his vest (assuming he actually bought one) didn't have the label. Either way, the important thing is that this vest is compliant with ANSI Class 2, regardless of labels.

Nice catch.

[CRBatchelor]

Rechecked the vest, the label on the vest sent me was cut off right above the cert line. Without the label, I may not be able to use it even if it's certified as it's not marked as such, got to love regs. Will need to know how to get it exchanged or something. Didn't know about the discount either.

Or you could ask them to send you a replacement tag.

CAPR 62-1 states the safety vests must be ANSI Class 2 compliant, which these are, not that they must have a tag or label indicating it. You should be able to use yours regardless of the tag.

[Capt Thompson]

Correct, if anyone gives you an issue at a SAREX (not that they should) google ANSI Class II on your phone and show them the spec. I have this vest and it is definitely Class II regardless if the tag was cut off.

[SARDOC]

The ANSI Standard actually states that for a product to Meet ANSI Standards that it must be permanently marked or Identified as such including the Class and the Standard version used to determine compliance. 

Sometimes Manufacters will create a product using a tag that indicates the ANSI Standard has been met provisionally but they will either remove the tag or obliterate the marking if there was an error that meant the item was defective or through technical specifications didn't pass inspection.  They'll remove the ANSI marking and throw it on the shelf for sale, because they still want to make some money or at least limit their loss.  They just can't advertise it as a ANSI approved product and they are usually Discounted and all sales final type of thing.

Mr. Samex,
Is there anyway to put "Civil Air Patrol Boise RMR-073" on the back of the vest? Preferably in black lettering with the Boise RMR-073 in a little smaller letters under the Civil Air Patrol?
That would be fantastic!
Sincerely,
Cadet Ravlin

[SarDragon]

Willing to pay more? That doesn't look like a freebie kind of addition/option.

You could have always asked one of us ES guys at the meeting about things like this.

Side note, I love the sharpie idea!
