ARX’s The Original Vest is an ANSI Class 2 safety vest engineered by women who actually wear PPE. Built for real job sites and working conditions, it delivers a tailored fit without the bulk or distraction of oversized unisex gear because it’s built for women’s measurements.

Its reflective design ensures hi-visibility in low-light conditions while the longer back hem provides coverage and professionalism on-site. Custom logo placement is available for teams.

This female safety vest is designed with:

  • Reinforced zippers and seams 
  • Pockets in all the right places
  • Drawstrings for a looser or tighter fit

Investing in a Female Safety Vest that Fits

  • Buy for Yourself

    The Original Vest redefines what a female safety vest should be. Most safety vests have pockets. Few are placed with intention. This yellow safety vest with pockets is engineered specifically for women by women. Each pocket is strategically positioned to align with women's proportions, movement, and jobsite tools, delivering access right where you need it.

    Every pocket serves a purpose, including a discreet side pocket for your personal essentials and a secure iPad pocket in the back. 

    The Original Vest is ANSI-compliant and OSHA-ready gear built to meet rigorous safety standards. It delivers style, structure, and function in one streamlined design because you deserve apparel that not only meets professional safety requirements, but also looks good and helps you feel confident on the job. When your PPE fits correctly, you can stop thinking about it, focus on your work, and feel like you finally belong.
