Was dubious about buying, a bag, of the beeswift mp1 gloves, as I was actually looking for an alternate brand, I've had gloves before that were all bundled together, where the rubber was too hard and the material like an old rope, the company sent them out really fast delivery, individually wrapped, premium gloves, really happy, top drawer, as these will be stored in the garage, no damp or spider issues, big thanks to George @ gloves & stuff.

Description
Full Upper Body Protection Against Flames and Chemical Splashes
The Portwest FR418 Bizflame Work Bib & Brace is built for the most demanding environments – offshore rigs, welding bays, chemical plants. This isn't standard workwear. It's fully certified protective kit that guards against flame, heat, arc flash, and chemical splashes. Portwest's Bizflame Work fabric combines 99% cotton with 1% carbon fibre and a chemical finish, creating a tough 280g material that keeps you protected without feeling like you're wearing a suit of armour.
Key Features:
-
Multi-Hazard Protection: Certified to EN ISO 11612 (heat and flame), EN ISO 11611 Class 2 (welding), EN 13034 Type 6 (chemical splash), IEC 61482-2 (arc flash), and EN 1149-5 (anti-static). Covers more risks than most bib and braces on the market.
-
Metal-Free Construction: Nickel and ferrous-free design makes this safe for ATEX environments. Stud and zip front with metal-free closure means no worries around flammable atmospheres.
-
Built to Last: Triple stitching throughout and brass zippers that won't fail when you need them most. The Bizflame fabric handles industrial washing without losing its protective properties.
-
High Visibility: Sew-on flame resistant reflective tape keeps you visible in low light. Certified to EN 17353 Type B2 for medium-risk environments.
-
Practical Storage: Five pockets give you space for tools, gloves, and essentials without compromising protection. Includes back and rule pockets for the kit you actually need on site.
-
CE-CAT III Certified: Category III personal protective equipment for the highest risk environments. Pairs perfectly with the Portwest FR609 jacket for complete coverage.
Available in grey with sizes from Small to XXL. Portwest designed the FR418 specifically for offshore, welding, and chemical processing work where one garment needs to handle multiple hazards. This bib and brace delivers that protection with the durability to match.
