Choosing by coverall type

The groups below are based on the product names and the information on the product pages. For work requiring chemical, flame, antistatic or high-visibility protection, check that the relevant standard is stated on the product label; no protective property should be assumed unless it is stated.

What to Look for When Choosing a Coverall

When choosing a coverall, consider the working environment, fabric construction, season, pocket layout, fastening type and freedom of movement together. Classic coveralls, bib overalls and models designed for different purposes may not meet the same needs.

Short answer: Identify your application and the season, then compare fabric, size, pocket layout and fastening. If protection against specific risks is required, check the manufacturer's technical documentation and any certification details, not just the product name.

Coverall vs bib overalls: the difference

Full coveralls cover the upper and lower body in one piece, whereas bib overalls usually have a bib with shoulder straps and are worn with a separate garment on top. When choosing, consider your working movements and the coverage you need.

Choosing summer or winter coveralls

Consider the season stated in the product description together with the fabric composition and any lining. Judging whether a product is for summer or winter from the cotton or polyester content alone may be misleading.

Why do pockets and fastenings matter?

The number and size of the tools you use at work may determine how many pockets you need. Zips, buttons or other fastening systems can affect ease of use and freedom of movement.

How to choose the right coverall size

Compare your chest, waist, hip and inside leg measurements with the product's size chart, where available. Allow enough room for movements such as bending, sitting and crouching. The same size label does not guarantee the same fit across different models.

FAQ

What is a coverall used for?

It covers the body in one piece, protecting against dirt, oil, dust and abrasion, and its pockets make carrying tools easier. Chemical (e.g. EN ISO 13982-1, EN 13034), heat/flame (EN ISO 11612) or antistatic (EN 1149-5) protection is only provided if the relevant standard is stated on the product label.

What are bib overalls also called?

Dungarees, or bib and brace. Thanks to the strapped, sleeveless design, the top layer can be changed to suit the season, which is why they are popular for workshop and garden work.

What is an antistatic coverall?

It is protective clothing designed to reduce the build-up of static electricity and, in Europe, is assessed to EN 1149-5. Whether a coverall is antistatic must be clearly stated on the product label and in its technical documentation; without such a declaration, do not use the coverall for this purpose.

When is a disposable coverall used?

Used for short-term work involving paint, dust, insulation, cleaning and hygiene. The type on the label shows the scope of protection: Type 5 refers to coveralls tested against dry particles (EN ISO 13982-1), and Type 6 to coveralls tested against limited liquid splashes (EN 13034).
