I’ve been using the AllMedHi-Viz Rescue Vest for a few weeks. Happy to recommend it – worth every penny – although for CERT and other purposes I’d like to see a lower bulk price. For the record, we weren’t given a review sample – and regard this as money well spent. And I intend to assemble a bulk purchase soon. Here are some images.
It’s great – I’ve worn it every time I’ve been to the park with Lucy and Zoe before dawn, and my guess is that it exceeds ANSI Class III visibility requirements. (AllMed doesn’t make the claim – and for the moment, I’m saying again – it’s a guess). We’ll try to measure visibility soon.
And it has the feel of something well-made and well-designed – very sturdy but not at all uncomfortable.
And it’s got enough pockets that, by itself, it could function as a go-bag or jump bag with the “A” gear – the absolute essentials. We’re going to figure out how much we can stuff in the pockets.
Responders should, of course, add ID – name, units, etc. – but I’d urge anyone doing it to use Reflexite letters – what makes this vest unique is the combination
of conspicuity and load carrying ability – i.e., pockets – don’t make it any less reflective if at all possible.
