Our take on the Milwaukee 48-73-5042 High Visibility Yellow Performance Safety Vest

The Milwaukee 48-73-5042 is an ANSI Type R Class 2 high-visibility vest built for workers near traffic or heavy machinery. Its standout is storage: 15 pockets, including a clear ID holder, a rear tablet pocket and three internal pockets, with 600D tear-resistant reinforcement on the front pockets. A padded collar and quick internal size adjustment address the two common vest complaints, neck pressure and loose fit. Against plain mesh Class 2 vests it trades light weight for capacity and durability, which suits tradespeople who carry tools and paperwork all day.

Questions and answers

What does ANSI Type R Class 2 mean?
It is the visibility class for workers near traffic moving up to about 25 mph or around heavy machinery. It is not rated for higher-speed roadwork, which needs Class 3.
How many pockets does it have?
Fifteen, including a clear ID holder, a rear tablet pocket and three internal pockets. The front pockets are reinforced with 600D tear-resistant material.
How does the fit adjustment work?
An internal adjustment lets you tighten the vest to your body rather than relying on the outer shell alone. The padded collar sits around the neck.
Is it good for hot weather?
It is heavier than a basic mesh vest and some owners say it runs warm when the pockets are full. For pure breathability a plain mesh Class 2 vest is lighter.
What is in the box?
One high-visibility yellow performance safety vest in size L/XL.
How does it compare with a basic mesh vest?
It offers far more storage and tougher pocket construction, at the cost of extra weight and bulk.
