When you're working in environments where chemical splash and flame hazards are a genuine concern, you need workwear that actually delivers. The Portwest FR Chemical Resistant Bib and Brace Overall FR418 is a multinorm dungaree designed specifically for professionals who demand serious protection without compromise. This FR bib and brace overall combines robust flame-retardant properties with chemical resistance, all built into a treated cotton fabric that's built to last. The sleeveless design keeps things practical, whilst adjustable shoulder straps with buckle closings ensure a secure fit throughout your shift. What makes this multinorm overall stand out is its completely metal-free construction, including the zip and snap fastenings, which means you can wear it confidently in ATEX environments. The reflective striping runs along the lower legs, keeping you visible when it matters most, and the adjustable hem means the leg length works for everyone.

Key Features

• Fully certified chemical protection according to strict safety standards
• Metal-free design safe for ATEX regulated environments
• Adjustable shoulder straps with durable buckle closings
• Adjustable hem accommodates various leg lengths
• Five practical storage pockets plus thumb pocket for tools

Recommendations from our Unishore Expert

This bib and brace overall is engineered for the demands of chemical handling and welding operations. The treated cotton construction provides comfort during extended wear while maintaining the protective qualities your role requires. The metal-free construction throughout means you can wear it safely in controlled atmospheres without triggering concerns. We'd recommend pairing this with the FR609 FR Chemical Resistant Jacket to create a complete protective system that covers both upper and lower body effectively. The adjustable features, from the shoulder straps to the hem length, mean this overall adapts to your frame rather than the other way round, which matters when you're focusing on the job rather than your clothing.
