So is it a total of a 144 square inches front and back, or 144 on both the front and back? I went looking for one today and wasn't sure what the heck it meant.

This was the subject of much debate back in May...the last word "we" received was 144 sq in on the front, AND 144 sq in on the back. Oddly, there is no vest which is designed for those specific requirements--indicative of a law being written by people who don't know what they're talking about.

Unless you customize a vest with a lesser amount of reflective material by taping additional reflective tape onto it to meet the minimum, you can err on the side of caution by getting an ANSI Class 3 vest.

You can search for suppliers of "ANSI Class 3 Vest" and find what you need, sometimes as cheaply as about twelve bucks.
