How to choose your work coverall?

Similar to work pants, work coveralls can have pockets with different functions (tape measure pockets, chest pockets, patch back pockets, tool holder system, etc.) and inserts for knee protection (also called knee pad pockets) and many other features. Professional coveralls generally have zippers, some models are equipped with two to make dressing even easier.

It is important to consider various features when purchasing a work coverall, as these can greatly facilitate your daily routine. It is therefore necessary to establish a list of your needs to choose the right professional coverall model.

1. The standard of the coverall: it is important to verify that the coverall meets the safety standards in force in your field of activity. You must ensure that it complies with the protection requirements that apply to your trade, such as EN 340 standard for general work coveralls, or EN 469 standard for rescue coveralls.
2. The type of coverall: there are several types of work coveralls depending on the use and required level of protection. For example, there are light and breathable work coveralls for industrial trades, chemical protection coveralls for hazardous work, or rescue coveralls for emergency services and interventions.
3. The materials of the coverall: it is important to check the quality of the materials used for making the coverall. Favor resistant and durable materials that guarantee optimal protection and long service life.
4. The comfort and fit of the coverall: the work coverall must be comfortable to wear, to allow you to work efficiently without being hindered by elements that bother you. Therefore, check that the coverall is well-fitted to your body type and that movements are not restricted.
5. The price of the coverall: finally, price is a criterion to consider in your choice of work coverall. However, quality and safety should not be neglected in favor of an attractive price. Rather favor a good quality/price ratio

ATEX coveralls are generally made from durable and flame-resistant materials. They may also include additional protective elements, such as reinforced knee pads, gloves and safety helmets, to protect the wearer from falls or other injuries.

Does your work require you to wear disposable work clothing? Use inexpensive disposable coveralls. Some disposable work clothing protects against minor risks, others protect against more specific risks such as chemical risks (protective chemical coverall, type 5 disposable coverall).

Regarding the construction site coverall, also called construction coverall, this work garment is often equipped with several pockets to keep all your tools within reach. It also has knee pad pockets to protect your knees when working on the ground, reinforced at the most exposed areas for maximum durability.

Mechanic coveralls, on the other hand, are generally darker in color (black, gray or bugatti blue coveralls) to help hide oil and grease stains. Pockets for knee pads are generally included. The most important selection criterion in the automotive industry is choosing so-called "scratch-resistant" work clothing where all elements (buttons, zippers, etc.) that could damage body parts are hidden.
