The design and style of safety vests can vary greatly depending on the wearer's intended use, comfort requirements, and specific needs.

Two-Band & Brace Vest: This is the most common design for safety vests, featuring two horizontal bands of reflective material around the body and braces over the shoulders.

Breakaway Vests: These vests are designed to quickly detach from the body if caught or snagged, preventing the wearer from being pulled or dragged. They are handy in environments where workers are near moving machinery or vehicles. In addition to this safety feature, breakaway vests still offer the high visibility and reflective properties of standard safety vests.

Long Sleeve Vest: This type extends the fluorescent and reflective material to cover the arms, offering more visibility and protection.

Harness Style Vest: This design prioritizes maximum visibility with minimal material, typically featuring reflective straps over the shoulders and a waistband.

Executive Vest: Executive vests are designed with additional features like extra pockets, ID holders, and even zippers instead of the standard Velcro for closure.

Cooling Safety Vest: These vests include special materials or technologies that help regulate body temperature, ideal for workers in hot environments.

Surveyor’s Vest: Designed specifically for surveyors, these vests often come with multiple pockets and compartments for carrying tools and equipment.

Each design has its unique features and benefits, and the choice would depend on the specific needs and risk factors associated with the work environment.
