Washing Apron: Keep Water Off While Milking and Washing

Washing Apron: The Quickest Protection Against Wet Work

An apron is tied on in a few seconds and is watertight exactly where most of the water lands in the shed: at the front. For milking, hosing down and hoof trimming that is entirely enough, and a full overall would only be cumbersome. We stock waterproof milking and washing aprons in several cuts as well as robust hoof trimmer’s aprons in PVC for work on a lifted foot.

Milking, Washing and Udder Care

The Kerbl Premium milking apron is waterproof and tear-resistant and comes with or without pockets, which is handy when a dip cup, a cloth or a phone has to come along. If you want your arms to stay dry while washing down, take the milking and washing apron with sleeves in navy. The milking and washing apron in blue PU is a lighter option. The MaxiMove milking apron is designed for freedom of movement and does not restrict you as you attach the cluster.

Hoof Trimming and Crop Protection

In hoof trimming an apron is loaded differently: it has to be long enough, stand up to the angle grinder and must not pull while you work on a raised leg. For that there is the long PVC hoof trimmer’s apron as well as the version with a leg cut-out that goes along with exactly that movement. When mixing and applying crop protection products, the sleeved apron with a hook-and-loop fastening is the right pick, because it covers forearms and torso at once and comes off again quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

With or without pockets?
Pockets are useful for small items at milking. Anyone working a lot with the hose is often better off without, because water collects in pockets and pulls the apron down.

What is the leg cut-out for?
Working on a lifted foot you stand with your legs apart or clamp the leg in. A continuous apron pulls tight while you do that, and the version with a leg cut-out allows the movement without tearing at the seam.

How do I keep an apron watertight for long?
Rinse it with clean water after work and let it dry hanging up. Do not throw it folded into a corner, because the coating suffers fastest at the creases.
