In order to meet the standards for safety garments set forth by ANSI and ISEA, the safety garment must have continuous areas of retroreflective or combined-performance materials encircling the torso and placed in such a manner to provide 360 degree visibility of the wearer. Gaps in retroreflective, combined-performance, and background materials to enable fastening should not exceed 50mm (1.97 inches) horizontally.
