Public-Safety Visibility with SHERIFF Identification
The 1246-S-RD is a high-visibility Class 2 breakaway vest made for authorized sheriff personnel directing traffic, managing road closures, and working at incident scenes. The hi-vis lime polyester mesh supports airflow, while brown contrast material and 3M Scotchlite reflective tape help define the wearer in changing light conditions.
Preprinted SHERIFF identification appears on the vest for quick agency recognition. A five-point breakaway design, adjustable hook-and-loop sides, two radio clip holders, a clear ID holder, and an upper chest pocket support public-safety field work.

Ironwear 1246-S-RD Sheriff Safety Vest FAQ
What ANSI classification is confirmed for this vest?
Ironwear's current catalog identifies style 1246-S-RD as ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 Class 2. Confirm the garment type from the sewn label or a current exact-model Ironwear technical record before treating it as Type P or Type R.
Is SHERIFF printed on the vest?
Yes. Ironwear identifies this model as its SHERIFF public-safety vest. Use is intended for authorized personnel and remains subject to agency policy and applicable law.
How does the breakaway design work?
The vest uses five breakaway points intended to release under certain snagging forces. This feature does not prevent every entanglement injury, so the vest must still be fitted and used under the employer's safety procedures.
What reflective material is used?
Ironwear specifies two-inch silver reflective tape over four-inch brown 3M Scotchlite contrast material in a suspender pattern with a torso band.
What storage and attachment features are included?
The vest includes two radio clip holders, one clear ID holder, and one upper chest pocket. Confirm that carried equipment does not cover required reflective areas.
What sizes are available?
Ironwear lists two adjustable size groups: MD-XL and 2XL-4XL. Select the range that fits over the uniform and outerwear normally worn on duty.
Is this vest flame resistant or ballistic?
No. It is high-visibility apparel and is not represented as flame-resistant, arc-rated, ballistic, or chemical-protective equipment.
