JKSafety 9 Pockets Mesh Hi-Vis Reflective Safety Vest, FAA Drone Pilot (JK210-FAA)

I bought this vest once I got my Part 107. Not only does it help me to be seen by motorists, but I love that it notifies people not to bother me while I'm flying. I feel it adds a layer of professionalism. It also has a lot of pockets for extra drone batteries and even one that will hold a copy of your FAA license. Runs big (men's sizes) so order down a size or two if you're a female.

This is very important to wear when you're controlling a drone and somebody approaches you. Just let them know you are currently busy and give them your back. After you land safely then you can engage.

Great vest. Very visible. Apologies for no back picture, will try and update with one. We have had this for a few months and my hubs enjoys it very much. We volunteer for CERT UAS (Unmanned Aerial Systems aka Search and Rescue Drones). He is an FAA pilot, this is perfect to ensure unwanted people DO NOT come bother you.Handsome man pictured here is about 6'1", 175lbs and keeps getting better with age. . Wait... sorry for that last tidbit, I was crushing on my hubby. Anyway, we ordered a size Large (pictured) and it works great. Any smaller and he wouldn't be able to comfortably wear it over a jacket or hooded sweatshirt, if needed. Quality is exactly as expected: durable and lightweight. The lettering on the back is VERY easily read. The pockets in front are good for having and license or similar identification you may need (Pink scribbles are hiding his personal info - not part of the vest). Good price, good investment.

This helps so much when you on a job. This keeps people from just walking up and talking to you when you trying to Focus. If you fly part 107 you need this

This was a very good quality vest but sizing runs considerably small. I got the 2XL and I'd say it compares to a Large/XL at best of other company sized vests.

I don't know why I didn't get this sooner. I often have people approaching me and starting a conversation while I am flying a drone on a project. I mainly got this so people would not disturb me mid-flight...It definitely does the trick!

The FAA now suggests that all commercial drone operators wear these vests, hoping to improve public perception of drone operators.So I looked around at a LOT of vests and chose this. I like the professional look, and absence of various amateurish looking images of drones on the vest. I also prefer “Do Not Disturb" over cautions like “Warning" or “Stand Clear". If someone isn't happy about your drone operation, those warnings aren't going to help anything.This vest looks great. After a thorough inspection, I see no flaws in craftsmanship. Materials seem of good quality all around. The reflective material is very good quality and effective. The piping, lettering, and reflective stripes (obviously) are all highly reflective with a camera flash, flashlight, or headlights. There are and pockets behind the lower pockets, and the upper right (wearer's right) pocket is well designed. Stitching seems to have been skillfully done. I'm rather picky with stuff like this, and I really like this vest. Highly recommended.

Love it as a drone pilot. I ended up buying all my students the same ones and I like the different pockets and made well.

Perfect for FAA-certified remote pilots who need to be clearly identified and visible in the field. The high-vis material and reflective striping stand out great during UAS ops, and the “REMOTE PILOT” labeling looks professional. Plenty of pockets for batteries, SD cards, phone/tablet, and checklists, and the zipper front feels sturdier than cheap Velcro vests. Fit is a bit snug over jackets, and while great for field work, it’s not meant for heavy industrial abuse.

Pilot was spelled "Poilot" on mine. Other than that it gets the point across.

A little bigger than expected but otherwise good product.

This vest is great. Well made and the Faa information on the back can be read from along ways.

The vest looks professional. Lots of useful pockets, quality build and the lettering on the back is high quality too. Money well spent. Size might run a bit small. I usually wear 2X t-shirts so I bought a 2X vest. It fits but a size larger might have been a bit more comfortable. I'm still satisfied with it.

Sometimes, the secret to not being bothered as a drone pilot is to look more official than anyone else around. Look the part, and folks won't hassle you.Please, for the love of drone piloting, don't abuse that.But if you need to be left alone to do your job? This is a good place to start.

Love this new FAA commercial drone operators vest . Lots of pockets

This vest is a must for commerical operators. Saftey first see and be seen. The decal alerts the general public that you are a professional. Most folks will head the warning and not interfere with your operation. That said the operator should not impersonate a licensed pilot, that can get you into trouble too. Professionals comply with RID. Remember Law Enforcement is watching.

Very well made with nice material. Would buy again. I actually have a buddy that's buying one.

It's great, light and comfortable

Would buy again

The FAA recommends a Part 107 pilot to wear a high-vis. This one is great and acts as a deterrent for people wanting to mess with you when flying. I always wear it when I am out flying now!

this vest is great for night time use all the pockets add for a lot of storage very satisfied

It is light weight and folds small; so it packs easily. It fits to the size I ordered. Has many pockets to hold items and you can be easily seen. I would recommend this product.

Don't follow the sizing guide. Be sure to get a size larger than you think you'll need or it will be too small. It seems to be a pretty nice vest for the price, I just wish it fit. Unfortunately, they don't have my size in stock.

Great quality material, strong zipper, fits great as expected.
