Milwaukee 48-73-5043 Hi-vis Safety Vest 2X/3X Class 2

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-73-5043 is an ANSI Type R Class 2 high visibility performance safety vest sized for 2X/3X wearers. Built for jobsite professionals who need accessible storage without sacrificing comfort, this vest features 15 pockets including a clear ID holder, a rear tablet pocket, and three internal pockets. Front pockets are reinforced with 600D tear-resistant material to handle rough daily use. A padded collar reduces pressure during extended wear. The high-visibility yellow construction meets Class 2 reflective vest standards, making it suitable for environments with traffic traveling under 50 mph or around heavy machinery.

Class 2 high-vis vests are recommended across construction, road construction, traffic direction, utility crews, and survey crews. This vest is well suited for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and utility service professionals working near active roadways or heavy equipment. The 15-pocket configuration supports tradespeople who need to carry tools, devices, and documentation simultaneously. The rear tablet pocket is particularly useful for technicians carrying inspection tablets or reference materials on the job. This vest ships in a package quantity of 12, making it practical for outfitting a full crew.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this wearable safety product. Inspect the vest before each use to confirm reflective striping is intact and not obscured by dirt or damage. Replace the vest if reflective material becomes significantly worn, as degraded visibility defeats the purpose of Class 2 compliance. Consult applicable OSHA and MUTCD requirements to confirm the correct vest class for your specific worksite conditions.
