A ‘Surveyors’ vest is manufactured from a lightweight solid material but is thin enough that you are still comfortable in hot weather, yet still durable enough for your construction needs.  Traffic safety vests are designed to be reflective at night yet flourescent during the day, so that drivings can see those wearing them 24/7.  Safety vests usually come in one size, so don’t get confused if you can’t find the size options when looking to purchase some.
