Recommendations from our Unishore Expert

This work jacket is built specifically for those working with molten materials, and it shows. The fibre composition works hard to deliver thermal protection where you need it most, whilst the overall weight keeps things manageable through your working day. The snap buttons offer straightforward fastening, and the covered closure adds an extra layer of protection. Radio loops are a practical touch if you're coordinating with team members on site. Consider this alongside appropriate safety footwear and hand protection for complete coverage in high-temperature environments.
