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.

Decent gloves at a reasonable price. Delivered within a good delivery window. These gloves have reasonable longevity in medium workloads.

Good company to buy from; just took a bit longer than expected (9 days)from order to being despatched for delivery. The response was quick when I emailed them with a query. Will definitely use again.

I've always had a good experience with this family run business, always able to ring and get any queries sorted. Quick delivery and products all as described on the website.
The process from order to delivery is smooth and stress free. I would definitely recommend them.

What an amazing company. I bought safety shoes from them and could not fault them with anything. Communication from the seller was spot on. Kept me updated on delivery times and delivery was super quick as well, not to mention that they had the best price out there. These shoes are so comfy :). Thank you very much, I would happily use them again and highly recommend to anyone. I am glad I did not cancel my order because of the previous bad reviews.

A pleasure to do business with George, Paul and the team. Have been using them for years and will continue to do so. Great customer service, speedy shipping and an extensive range of products.

Ordered some safety trainers as they offered the fastest delivery and lowest price. My order was a day late but this was due to a supply chain issue with the manufacturers. George kept me up to date and they still arrived before other company’s expected delivery date. The quality of the trainers are amazing and I will be definitely using this company again for my future supply’s.

Description

ARC2-Rated Protection That Won't Wash Out

The Portwest FR81 Modaflame sweatshirt brings serious multi-standard protection to hazardous environments where flash fires and arc flashes are real risks. Built with inherently flame-resistant Modaflame Knit fabric, this hooded sweatshirt maintains its protective properties wash after wash – the protection is in the fibres themselves, not a coating that fades over time.

Key Features:
  • ARC2 Protection: ATPV rated at 15 CAL/CM² for arc flash protection, certified to IEC 61482-2 Class 1. Designed for electricians and workers facing electrical hazards.
  • Multi-Standard Flame Resistance: Certified to EN ISO 11612 for protection against radiant, convective and contact heat. The inherent flame resistance never fades, even after repeated washing.
  • Modaflame Knit Construction: 60% Modacrylic, 39% Cotton, 1% Carbon Fibre blend provides comfort without compromising protection. Anti-static properties meet EN 1149-5 standards to prevent static build-up.
  • 50+ UPF Sun Protection: Blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, essential for outdoor work in high-risk industries like oil and gas or petrochemical.
  • Practical Zip-Front Design: Full-zip hooded sweatshirt with two pouch pockets for storage and hand warming. Ribbed cuffs and hem keep the garment secure during active work.
  • CE-CAT III Certified: Meets the highest category of PPE for complex risks. Available in Navy colour, sizes S through 5XL.
