Exactly what I needed

5 stars out of 5 stars

I wanted a durable reflective vest for my long distance walks/hikes which sometimes go into town. This vest has all the pockets I need and great visibility features for oncoming drivers. I feel much safer on my walks now.

I bought a 2X and an XL but made a mistake. I needed a large instead of the 2X so I sent it back. Going to order the XL after my return. It’s pockets and pen holders. I use them at work.

Rugged Vest

5 stars out of 5 stars

This rugged vest stands up to the abuse my husband puts it through every day at work. The vest has Velcro pockets that hold all of the essentials, and the zipper is sturdy too. It’s the only vest my husband will wear to work.

Source for hard to find products

5 stars out of 5 stars

FULL SOURCE is the place to find out of stock and hard to find items. Expect it to take a longer time to get. But that is part of the deal. They will find it for you - just will take awhile.

Best Safety Vest

5 stars out of 5 stars

DeWalt quality never disappoints and this vest appears to be no exception! My only concern is that I ordered it too big; sizing seems to run large.

Good fit

4 stars out of 5 stars

Good vest with a double stripe on the back. A little high on the front belt compared to others of the same size. A quality safety vest. No problems with zipper pockets or wear first day. Several comments on 'professional' look.

Big boy vest

5 stars out of 5 stars

Love this vest. I’m 6’6” and always struggle to get a vest long enough. Most vests fit me above the waist. Mid drift safety vest on a job site is no bueno!! Lol It fits me great and great length. Thank you for think of us big and tall people.

It’s awesome

I now have the best looking hi vis vest on the construction site! The pockets are extremely useful.

5 stars out of 5 stars

I am definitely pleased with this safety vest. If you have a bit of a tummy disregard the reviews that say you should size down. It’s perfect over a shirt but a little snug over my jacket.

Love it

5 stars out of 5 stars

I drive a forklift at an apple cold storage facility. It involves indoor/outdoor driving in all kinds of weather year-round. There are low light/visibility issues and hi-vis clothing is needed for safety. I purchased this vest and it is great. The size was correct and the pockets are handy. My coworkers also have commented favorably on it. I highly recommend it and should I ever need to purchase another vest I will buy it again. It is a high-quality product!! Thank you for creating it!

Oversized

4 stars out of 5 stars

The vest is full of pockets as described. Fully reflective as described, but it runs very big. I also found that it is very heavy.

Bob - 09/28/19

Had a little problem

4 stars out of 5 stars

This is a better than average vest so it comes with a higher than average price. As stated in many of the comments, the sizing runs large. I'm 6'0" tall, 195lbs, and the medium size will fit even over a winter coat. The first vest I received had a defect. One tooth was missing from the zipper and it didn't work. I called Full Source the day after the product was delivered, and customer service couldn't have handled the issue any better. The following Monday a new replacement was delivered to me directly from their supplier in perfect condition. Excellent customer service.

This is my second DeWalt safety Vest, after 5 years of everyday use I had to retire my first one. Best vest on the market.

Very nice but LARGE

I like the vest a lot, but like others have said, they run really big. Beware the smaller person, the medium is more like and XL.

Visible to all

This product can be a bit pricey, but it is well worth it. I'm tall as it is but with this product, I tend to stand out as I play in traffic day after day. Several pockets allow me to keep all sorts of work tools.

I ordered for our traffic ministry. Very well made runs a little large, would have given 5 stars but due to sizes I can't get them for the women that are on the small size. Good visibility plenty of pockets. I would recommend this item
