BP® Komfort Work Bib & Brace 1409-720-44

305 grams per square metre. Half again as heavy as standard workwear — which is exactly why it doesn't fall apart after one season. 

Fabric: 65% cotton, 35% polyester, 305 gsm 

Most budget workwear is made from 190–245 gsm cloth. It is lighter, breathes just as well — and wears through within a single season. This is 305 grams: the fabric holds its shape, does not go thin after repeated washing, and does not tear at the pockets under the weight of tools. 

The fibre ratio is deliberate. Two thirds cotton means air exchange and no clammy feeling against the skin by the end of a shift. One third polyester means abrasion resistance and dimensional stability — the garment neither shrinks nor bags at the knees. 

What that means on site 

Designed for industrial laundering and daily wear. The dense weave withstands contact with sharp edges, ladders and concrete, where thin fabric rubs through in weeks. Colour does not fade in patches after repeated washes. 

Why a bib & brace. The back and lower back stay covered at all times: the garment does not ride up when bending or raising the arms. Adjustable straps with quick-release buckles and an elasticated back. The chest pocket for documents and a phone stays accessible even when bent over. 

Who it suits 

Construction, manufacturing, installation, logistics, municipal services, vehicle workshops, agriculture — anywhere clothing is worn every day and replaced no more than once a year. 

Honest about what it is not 

This is professional workwear, not personal protective equipment. It offers no protection against fire, electric arc or chemicals, and it is not high-visibility clothing. Those applications require certified garments — our catalogue has a separate protective range.
