    Certain projects, particularly in construction, require good visibility in poor lighting conditions for safety. Reflective safety vests are common in such projects since they can reflect light, effectively making the wearer "glow" or "shine" for better visibility. The most important thing is the fit of the vest. It should be neither too loose nor too tight around the wearer's torso. Since quality vests are safer vests, you should look for options made of durable materials like polyester mesh in bright orange or yellow-green hues. For convenience, check out vests with built-in chest or inside pockets large enough to carry small items, like smart devices.
