Overalls: use in many industries

Why are they so popular?

Work overalls are a basic piece of clothing used by workers in various industries. Their functionality, protection and practicality are the reasons why they can be found in construction, agriculture, automotive, healthcare and many other professions. But why are they so popular? Below, we'll explore how overalls have become indispensable in many industries, what their main benefits are, and how to choose the right one for your needs.

Work overalls combine comfort and functionality. One of their biggest pluses is that they offer comprehensive protection, as they cover both the torso and limbs. This is especially important in work environments where workers are exposed to dirt, chemicals, dust, or hazardous substances. The overalls are designed to allow unhindered movement while protecting the clothes underneath.

Advantages of work overalls

Comprehensive protection: Since they cover most of the body, they are an excellent protection against external influences such as dust, dirt, oil, water or even dangerous chemicals. In addition, they are a great choice in colder working environments, as they can offer additional insulation and protection from the cold.

Ease of dressing: Coveralls are quick to put on and take off, which is practical for workers who need clothes that can be changed quickly.

Greater functionality: Many coveralls include convenient pockets and reinforcements in key places, which increases their functionality. They usually have reinforced knee areas and additional tool pockets, which is especially useful for physical work.

Comfort and flexibility: Most work overalls are made of materials that allow for good ventilation and mobility. Coveralls are typically designed to allow for greater freedom of movement, which is crucial for jobs that require physical activity.

In which industries do we use them?

Coveralls are a versatile piece of equipment that can be found in many industries. Here are some examples of industries where they are most common:

Construction and crafts

In the construction industry, exposure to dirt, dust and other hazardous substances is commonplace. Coveralls protect workers from external influences and allow them to perform their work safely. Special models can be tear-resistant, which is very important in such industries.

Agriculture and forestry

In agriculture and forestry, overalls are widely used to protect against moisture, mud and dust. Workers who work long hours outdoors need clothing that is comfortable and protects them from the elements. Waterproof models are highly valued in these industries.

Automotive industry

Mechanics and automotive workers are often in contact with oil, grease and other substances that can ruin normal clothing. Coveralls protect against these influences and provide greater safety at work, as many are made of fire-resistant materials. Materials such as cotton fabric with polyester or "cotton duck" are a common choice because they are durable and tear-resistant.

Healthcare & Pharmacy

In healthcare and pharmacy, overalls offer protection against infections and hazardous substances. They are used in sterile procedures, laboratory research and in environments where a high level of cleanliness is required. They also provide protection against biological and chemical hazards. A disposable coverall is also often used in this industry, which helps to ensure cleanliness and safety at work.

How to choose the right one for you?

When choosing work overalls, it is important to consider several factors that will ensure that the equipment will meet your specific work needs.

Materials

The materials from which overalls are made are crucial for their functionality. Most often, durable materials such as cotton, polyester and special compounds that are resistant to fire, water or chemicals are used.

Cotton: Cotton overalls are comfortable and breathable, but less resistant to moisture and dirt.
Polyester: Polyester is extremely durable, waterproof, and quick-drying, making it ideal for working in damp and tougher conditions.
Specialty materials: If you work in an environment where you are exposed to chemicals or heat, consider designs made of fireproof or chemically resistant materials.

Fit and size

Overalls should be comfortable enough to allow for smooth movement. When choosing a size, pay attention to whether you will wear additional layers of clothing under them, as this will affect the choice of the right size. Size and length are especially important for comfort at work, as jumpsuits that are too long or too short can reduce mobility and comfort.

Additional functionalities

Overalls often include practical accessories such as tool pockets, knee braces, or adjustable belts. Consider which functionalities are most important for your work. Some models include additional insulation for working in cold conditions or waterproof layers, which is ideal for outdoor work, an example of this is  the Carhartt Men's Padded Work Coverall.

How often should it be washed?

This depends on the nature of the work, but it is recommended that you thoroughly clean the coverall after each use, especially if you are working in dirty or hazardous environments. Regular washing will extend the service life and preserve its functionality.

Are there waterproof overalls?

Yes, there are waterproof models on the market that are designed to work in damp or wet environments. These coveralls are made from waterproof materials such as polyester and often include additional reinforcements for better protection.

What is the difference between cotton and polyester overalls?

Cotton overalls are softer and more breathable, which makes them more comfortable for everyday wear, but they are not as durable as polyester. Polyester is more resistant to abrasion, water and dirt, making it more suitable for tougher working environments.

Can overalls protect against hazardous substances?

Yes, some special coveralls are designed to protect against hazardous substances such as chemicals, oil, or refractory substances. When choosing, check if it is suitable for the type of work you do.
