- Dissipative due to integrated carbon yarn – to reduce electrostatic charge (EN 1149-1).
- Dirt and water repellent TEFLON finish – simplifies cleaning in daily use.
- Flame-retardant fabric – meets EN ISO 14116:2008 Index 1 (formerly EN 533).

KPI Boxes: What counts in daily work
- With hood: more protection in dusty environments or when working overhead.
- Without hood: less heat buildup during long shifts or if you are already wearing respiratory protection with its own hood.
Technical features that you actually use
- Long 2-way front zipper for convenient putting on/taking off
- Neck closure with press studs (width adjustment)
- Ventilation inserts under the armpits
- Lint-free microfiber cuffs
- Pocket package: 1 pen pocket, 1 inner pocket, 2 side pockets, 2 knee pad pockets
- Leg closure with press studs for width adjustment
- Minimal velcro (largely) – reduces "interference points" in everyday life
Recommended default settings (Guideline values)
"Settings" for protective clothing primarily mean: fit, closures and wear setup. The following points are proven guidelines (adjust according to operation, climate, PPE concept and activity profile).
- Check size according to measurement table: 3XL usually corresponds to size 62/64. Pay special attention to chest/waist circumference and body height.
- Neck closure: adjust so that no drafts occur, but you remain free when turning your head.
- Leg closure: tighter for booths/dusty environments (press studs), more comfortable for walking paths/heat.
- Hood: zip on/off depending on the environment (see tip box).
- Pocket logic: pen/marker in the pen pocket, sensitive parts (e.g. smartphone) rather in the inner pocket.
Professional Workflow: How the overall fits correctly (5–7 steps)
- Check before putting on: briefly check zipper, cuffs, knee pad pockets and press studs.
- Use 2-way zipper wisely: first close completely, then open minimally from below if necessary – for mobility without "opening up".
- Adjust neck closure: set press studs so that no wrinkles pull into the shoulder area.
- Fix leg closure: adjust tighter or more comfortably depending on shoe/work area.
- Choose hood: on for dust/overhead work, otherwise off – reduces heat buildup.
- Fill pockets (minimalist): only the essentials – prevents pressure points and unnecessary movement noise.
- After use: roughly dust off/wipe down, then take off correctly (keep inner surfaces clean).
Troubleshooting: 4 typical problems + measures
- Remove hood if not required.
- Keep ventilation zones under the armpits clear (no additional layer that seals tightly there).
- Check size based on body height/circumferences (e.g. 3XL: 190–192 cm body height as a guideline).
- Set leg closure less tight if you kneel a lot or walk stairs.
- Close 2-way zip correctly and guide the pulling direction cleanly when opening.
- Do not store hard objects in pockets directly behind the zip.
- Pull microfiber cuffs smooth (do not fold over).
- When using gloves: position the cuff under the glove closure so that nothing "pulls".
Maintenance & Care (5 points)
- Wipe off coarse dirt after use – the TEFLON finish supports this.
- Regularly check zipper for smooth operation (without aggressive oil in the painting area).
- Check press studs on neck/legs for tight fit.
- Check pocket areas (especially knee pad pockets) for abrasion before it tears during use.
- Wash/iron resistance is intended – nevertheless, observe your internal PPE care specifications.
FAQ (practice-relevant)
Is the overall antistatic?
It meets EN 1149-1 (electrostatic properties) and relies on integrated carbon yarn in the fabric for this.
Can I use it for painting in the booth?
Yes – the lint-free fabric and the dirt/water repellent finish are specifically designed for practical painting and working environments.
How is flame protection solved?
The fabric is flame-retardant and meets EN ISO 14116:2008 Index 1 (formerly EN 533).
