Norti in Staten Island is at Quazi Supply, 519 Port Richmond Avenue, 10302. We stock the Norti insulated outerwear line — hi-vis insulated jackets, FR-rated bib overalls, and the heavyweight winter parkas — on the wall to the right as you walk in. Open 11 to 8 every day. Norti is the brand to ask for when the work is outside, in winter, at night.
The Norti hi-vis insulated jacket is the SKU. Class 3 ANSI/ISEA 107-compliant fluorescent yellow or orange shell, reflective tape across the chest, sleeves, and back, polyfill insulation rated to roughly 0°F with a layer underneath, and a detachable hood. It's the jacket the DOT night crews wear on the BQE plowing snow at 2 AM. It's the jacket the Con Ed crews wear on a wire pull in February. It's the jacket the airport ramp guys at Newark wear all winter long. We stock S through 4XL in both colors.
FR layers are the other side of the line. The Norti FR-rated bib overall is NFPA 70E HRC 2 compliant, insulated for cold-weather electrical work, with the same hi-vis colorway as the jacket. Utility linemen, refinery workers, and welders working outside in cold weather pick the FR bib over a non-rated alternative because the spec on those jobs requires it. The FR work shirt and the FR henley are the layering pieces underneath.
The heavyweight non-hi-vis parka is the third major piece. Heavier insulation, longer length to cover the seat, removable hood, two hand-warmer pockets and two cargo. Marine workers at the Howland Hook terminal, port crane operators, and the dock guys who can't move all winter wear them. Sized to layer over a sweatshirt — order your normal size, the cut is intentional.
Hi-vis is a regulation, not a fashion. ANSI Class 2 is the daytime minimum on most road and construction work; Class 3 is required for most night work and any work above 25 mph traffic. The Norti hi-vis jackets are Class 3, which means they cover both. If you're a foreman buying for a crew that does both day and night work, Class 3 is the safe answer.
"Hi-vis is a regulation, not a fashion. Class 3 is the safe answer if your crew does both day and night."
Fit reality: Norti runs slightly large in the chest because the jackets are designed to layer over a sweatshirt or fleece. Order your normal size; if you wear a heavy hooded sweatshirt under, go up one. The bib overalls run true to size with adjustable suspenders. Sleeve length on the jacket is generous to keep the cuff at the wrist when you reach.
Trades that reach for Norti by name: DOT night crews, snow-plow operators, utility and lineman crews on outside work, port and dock workers in winter, airport ramp staff, and any night-shift outdoor work where Class 3 hi-vis is the spec. Welders working outdoors in winter ask for the FR bib variant.
Pricing is honest. The hi-vis insulated jacket runs $140-$180 depending on the variant. The FR bib runs $180-$220. The heavyweight parka is $200-$260. For a foreman outfitting a winter crew, the fleet account with five-plus item volume pricing brings real money back. Net-30 terms on the order.
Custom screen-print and embroidery on the hi-vis is the operational piece most crews ask about. Company name across the back of the jacket, foreman name on the chest — all done in our shop, no minimums, no third-party turnaround. Reflective tape isn't disturbed by the print, which is the question we get every time.
Walk in. 519 Port Richmond Ave. If your crew is working outside this winter and you don't have the Class 3 covered, this is the wall to walk to first.
