Size Selection: Measurement Chart (S to 3XL)

The fastest conversion killer is the wrong size. Use the guide values from the measurement table (body height/chest circumference/waist) and plan for freedom of movement for the activity.

Size Clothing Size Body Height (cm) Chest (cm) Waist (cm)
S 42/44 165–168 84–88 74–78
M 46/48 171–174 92–96 82–86
L 50/52 177–180 100–104 90–94
XL 54/56 182–184 108–112 98–104
2XL 58/60 186–188 116–120 110–116
3XL 62/64 190–192 124–128 122–126
Values are sizing guidelines according to the product page; for intermediate measurements, prefer the size that allows for movement and clean cuff sealing.

Recommended Basic Settings (Guidelines)

No machine parameters – but a few guidelines ensure the coverall better supports its protective effect in practice:

  • Fit: Choose so you can work without pulling at the crotch/shoulder, but cuffs still fit snugly (see size chart).
  • Cuffs/Transitions: Position the elastic waistband and sleeves to minimize the "pumping effect" (dust in/out).
  • Hood: Position the hood so it does not interfere with mask/goggle seating (coverall includes hood and zipper).
  • Usage Limit: OK for sanding/cleaning – do not plan for spray painting work.
  • Disposable Logic: Consistently change the suit in case of heavy contamination or damage (disposable suit).

Professional Workflow (5–7 Steps)

  1. Work Check: Is it sanding/cleaning (dust/particles)? Then the application fits – exclude spray painting.
  2. Determine Size: Check body height + chest + waist against the table and plan for freedom of movement.
  3. Putting On: Close the coverall (zipper), align the hood, set the elastic waistband properly.
  4. Movement Test: Squats + arm lifts: no heavy tension at shoulder/crotch, cuffs remain tight.
  5. Work: Group dust-intensive steps as structurally as possible to avoid unnecessary dressing/undressing.
  6. Taking Off Without Dust Clouds: Roll off slowly, outside to inside; do not brush contaminated outside against clothing.
  7. Disposal/Replacement: Replace the disposable suit after use or in case of defect/contamination.

Troubleshooting: 4 Typical Problems

1) Zipper is under tension / tears quickly
  • Check size using the measurement chart – often the suit is chosen too small.
  • Perform a movement check (move arms/legs fully) before starting work.
2) Cuffs "pump" dust in
  • Position cuffs/elastic properly – do not wear them excessively loose.
  • For intensive movement, choose the size that seals rather than restricts.
3) Hood interferes with mask/goggles
  • Position the hood so that sealing lines (mask/goggles) remain clear.
  • Do a movement test with full PPE before entering the dust area.
4) Incorrect application: Spray painting planned
  • Correct the application planning: Product info explicitly states the suit is not suitable for spray painting.
  • Select a suitable alternative for paint mist/spray areas.

Maintenance / Handling (5 Points)

  • Briefly check before use: Zipper, cuffs, seams – replace directly if defective (disposable).
  • Store dry and clean so material/fiber structure is not pre-contaminated.
  • When taking off, roll the outside inward to avoid stirring up dust.
  • In case of heavy dust load, keep replacement intervals shorter (practical guideline).
  • Disposal according to company regulations for contaminated PPE.
