PIP 305-3200 ANSI Type R Class 3 AR/FR Solid Vest Hi-Vis Yellow

The PIP 305-3200 is a high-visibility, arc-rated vest designed for field teams operating in environments where both visibility and flame or arc flash protection are required. This ANSI Type R Class 3 vest is crafted from Solid Westex DH fabric, which is selected for durable performance and wearer comfort in long-shift work conditions. It features 2-inch 3M Scotchlite FR reflective tape to enhance visibility from all directions, helping to improve safety in low-light or high-risk outdoor settings. The vest is closed with FR hook and loop fasteners, which provide a secure, flame-resistant closure suitable for use over arc-rated clothing as part of a compliant PPE ensemble. The design is intended to be worn over arc-rated clothing and not over non-arc-rated garments, aligning with NFPA 70E and ASTM F1506 requirements to ensure appropriate protection for workers exposed to electrical arcs and related hazards.

Key specifications that matter for purchasing decisions include its ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 3 rating, which corresponds to higher-visibility performance, and an arc rating of ATPV 8.9 cal/cm2, indicating a defined level of arc protection when used as part of a compliant system. The vest weighs approximately 6.5 oz, contributing to a practical balance of visibility and comfort for extended wear. It is packaged bagged, with each unit sized as an individual item, and is commonly stocked in cases of 25 for procurement efficiency. Users should verify compatibility with their existing arc-rated clothing and confirm sizing to ensure proper fit over other PPE layers.
