ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 vests differ primarily in their visibility requirements and intended use environments. Class 2 vests provide moderate visibility for workers in environments with traffic speeds below 50 mph, featuring a minimum of 775 square inches of background material and 201 square inches of reflective material. Class 3 vests offer higher visibility for high-risk environments, with a minimum of 1,240 square inches of background material and 310 square inches of reflective material, covering more of the body to ensure maximum visibility.
