Personal protective equipment is part of everyday life in many skilled trades. Flame-retardant overalls are an indispensable component, especially in areas such as welding, metalworking, or plant engineering. But protection alone isn't enough – comfort also plays a crucial role. Heavy, uncomfortable clothing can restrict mobility, make work more difficult, and pose a long-term health risk.

Our lightweight, flame-retardant overalls combine maximum safety with high levels of comfort – ideal for daily use in workshops, industry, or on construction sites.

  • High wearing comfort – thanks to breathable, flexible fabrics
  • Greater freedom of movement – ​​for safe work even in confined or elevated areas
  • Reduced heat stress – especially in summer temperatures or scorching-hot work environments
  • Less physical strain – ideal for long shifts or physically demanding activities

These properties make lightweight coveralls the ideal choice for those who value both protection and comfort.

  • EN ISO 11611 – Specifically designed for welding and allied processes. It also provides protection against small metal splashes and welding sparks.
  • EN 1149-5 – Refers to protective clothing with electrostatic properties. Relevant in potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g., petrochemical plants).
  • EN 13034 – Protection against limited chemical splashes. Ideal when light chemical protection is required in addition to heat protection.
