Safety Vest

I did a forum search for this but didn't really find anything. So, I want to sign up for some of these gas stations. They say a safety vest is required. I assume I can just go buy a real cheap one that is safety orange or safety green and there are no other real requirements about the vest?

Thanks so much for helping a new guy.

Real cheap? Like dollar store cheap? Your safety, wellbeing, life is worth more than that. Walmart has Dickie's neon yellow safety vests for less than $20. Take care and good luck!
Someone I know gets them free at work and had one that was too small. But just my size! Free is the most delicious flavor, as I always told my kids. Sure, the vest has a company name on it but at least it's not the company that I'm shopping for! Win-win
I bought both mine and my son's traffic safety vests for less than $5 each on Amazon. His is orange, mine is yellow. I also have some neon orange yarn that I've been thinking of using to crochet a traffic vest or sweater all I would have to add is reflective tape.

My yellow one is some kind of vinyl or poly something. It's got pockets for days, big ones, small ones, 3 or 4 on top of each other. Some with zippers, some with Velcro. It's a godsend when the weather takes a sudden turn, my head is almost always covered (old habits die hard, work means my hair is tied up and covered), and the traffic vest makes a great sleeveless rain jacket. I can slip the tablet under the vest to keep it from getting wet and my phone fits into more than half of the pockets with loads of room to spare. Here is a link to the one I bought 8 years ago. It costs a little more now, but it's more than worth the price.

I have about half a dozen of the vests (never used) that Maritz used to give its shoppers. I spent $13 more than 10 years ago on an orange mesh vest (with pocket) at American Worker, a Boot Barn affiliate. I still wear this vest today. I have also seen them occasionally in the dollar stores, but those were the cheap vinyl ones that Maritz used to give out.
Yes. You need one for visibility. I got mine from the dollar store. You have to take a selfie.

I got one for ~ $5 at Auto Zone. However, I no longer do revealed shops so now it just rides around in my trunk. LOL
I got one from IPSOS one time for being a regular gas station shopper. It had IPSOS on the back of it. But I got the one I use regularly at Harbor Freight. I think I paid $2 for it. I actually keep a couple in my glove box just in case I see a good bonus opportunity when I travel.
