{"product_id":"rothco-security-5-point-breakaway-safety-vest","title":"Rothco Security 5-Point Breakaway High-Visibility Safety Vest","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Security 5-Point Breakaway Safety Vest is a high-visibility uniform vest built for security personnel, construction workers, and others who need to remain clearly seen during long shifts. Made from 100% polyester, it features 2-inch wide reflective tape across the chest, waist, and shoulders, and a five-point hook-and-loop breakaway system that allows the vest to release quickly in an emergency. Two sizes are available: Regular (S–XL) and 2XL\/3XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReflective Coverage Where It Counts\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rothco Security 5-Point Breakaway Safety Vest places 2-inch wide reflective tape across the chest, waist, and shoulders: the three zones most likely to catch a driver's headlights or a site light from multiple angles. That placement means the vest signals a wearer's presence and outline rather than just a single stripe, which matters in environments where visibility from the side or above is as important as head-on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBreakaway Design for Emergency Release\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five-point breakaway system uses hook-and-loop closures along the front, both sides, and both shoulders. If the vest is grabbed or snagged, it releases at all five points rather than holding, reducing the risk of a wearer being pulled or restrained by their own gear. This feature is standard practice in security and traffic-control roles where physical confrontations or moving-vehicle hazards are a real possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLightweight Enough for a Full Shift\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 0.38 lb per unit, the Security 5-Point Breakaway Safety Vest adds negligible weight over a uniform or jacket. The 100% polyester construction is also listed as water resistant, so a light rain or splash does not immediately compromise the vest's reflective performance or soak through to the layers beneath. Both factors matter when a shift runs eight or more hours outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2-inch reflective tape:\u003c\/strong\u003e runs across the chest, waist, and shoulders for multi-angle visibility in low-light conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5-point breakaway closures:\u003c\/strong\u003e hook-and-loop releases at the front, both sides, and both shoulders allow rapid vest removal in emergencies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% polyester construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e rated at 1005G\/MM fabric weight; listed as water resistant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight build:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.38 lb per vest; designed to layer over existing uniforms or outerwear without added bulk.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo size ranges:\u003c\/strong\u003e Regular covers S through XL; a separate 2XL\/3XL size is also available.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eRegular (S–XL)\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003e2XL \/ 3XL\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-8457\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRTC-8757\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.38 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e0.38 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e100% Polyester, 1005G\/MM\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eReflective Tape Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e2 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eReflective Tape Placement\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eChest, waist, shoulders\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBreakaway Points\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003e5 (front, both sides, both shoulders)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eHook and loop\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWater Resistant\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCertification\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eISO Certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCalifornia Prop 65\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eContains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco Security 5-Point Breakaway Safety Vest suits security officers, traffic-control personnel, construction site workers, and others in high-visibility roles who need a lightweight, quick-release vest they can wear over a uniform for extended periods.
