Work Overalls: Pull On One Piece and Carry On Working Clean

An overall protects your upper body and legs in one piece. You will find textile models, waterproof washing coveralls and disposables.

Work Overalls: All-Round Cover in a Single Garment

The advantage of an overall is quickly explained: no open gap at the waistband, no slipping, no shirt hanging out of your trousers. You pull one garment over your everyday clothes and you are covered from the shoulders to the ankles. We stock textile overalls for daily use, waterproof washing coveralls for wet work and disposable coveralls for everything you would rather not keep on your body afterwards.

Textile or Waterproof

The hairtex overalls come in versions for women and men and are meant for ordinary shed and yard work: put it on, do the job, wash it. As soon as water is involved, the Kerbl hooded washing coverall is the better choice. It is waterproof and built so that you can clean the milking plant, hose down cubicles or wash stock without being soaked after ten minutes. The hood also keeps splashes from above off your head.

Disposable Coveralls and Protection Types

With the disposable models the fabric weight decides how strong and durable they are. The white coverall at 45 g/m² is light and meant for short jobs, the blue one at 55 g/m² is noticeably sturdier, and there is a green version in PP as well. All three have a hood, a zip and elasticated cuffs and waist. For work with chemicals there is the type 5/6 chemical protection coverall in SMS material, which protects against particles and to a limited extent against splashes, plus a disposable coverall of type 4, which is also liquid-tight against spray mist.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do types 4, 5 and 6 mean?
They are protection classes against chemicals. Type 4 is liquid-tight against spray mist, type 5 protects against particles and dust, and type 6 gives limited protection against light splashes. The lower the number, the tighter the suit.

Which size should I take?
An overall is worn over everyday clothing, so choose one size more generous than your jumper. Cut too tight, it tears at the seam when you bend or kneel.

Can I wash disposable coveralls?
No, they are made for single use. Non-woven fabric loses its structure in the wash and with it its protective effect. Textile overalls, by contrast, are expressly made to be washed.

From the Everyday Overall to Chemical Protection

Which overall suits you depends on what you are working with. For ordinary farm days the hairtex overalls for women and men are enough, and they simply go in the wash afterwards. As soon as you are cleaning the milking plant, hosing down cubicles or washing stock, the waterproof Kerbl hooded washing coverall keeps you drier. For visitors, service engineers and any job after which you would rather carry nothing away with you, there are disposable coveralls with a hood, a zip and elasticated cuffs: white at 45 g/m² for short jobs, blue at 55 g/m² for a little more strength and a green version in PP. If cleaners or crop protection products come into it, reach for the type 5/6 chemical protection coverall in SMS material against particles and splashes, or for the type 4, which is also liquid-tight against spray mist.
