This hi-vis bib and brace is for work where several hazards meet: heat and flame, welding spatter, electric arc, static and light chemical splash. Its flame resistance is inherent to the fibre, so protection stays with the garment through repeated washing. It also suits ATEX environments and, in orange, rail trackside work.
Durable reinforcement fabric at key abrasion points and triple-stitched seams help it stand up to hard daily use. Stretch panels in key movement areas make kneeling, bending and climbing easier. Nine pockets keep your phone, keys and tools close to hand.
