Recommendations from our Unishore Expert

We'd recommend this bib and brace overall if you're regularly exposed to chemical splashes or work in welding environments. The robust cotton blend fabric offers genuine comfort during shifts, whilst the metal-free construction proves invaluable in ATEX-designated areas where static discharge poses a genuine risk. The adjustable hem means you'll achieve a proper fit regardless of leg length, and the five strategically placed pockets keep your essentials within reach. The reinforced reflective tape across the legs marks you out clearly on busy work sites. Consider pairing this with our FR609 jacket for seamless full-body protection that works as one cohesive system.
