BP® Komfort Cargo Bib & Brace 1844-720 with Knee Pad Pockets
BP Komfort cargo bib & brace 1844-720, royal blue/red. A practical choice for manufacturing, logistics, municipal services and vehicle workshops where workwear is worn every day and washed regularly.
For 1844-720-13, BP uses a 65% cotton, 35% polyester, 305 gsm work cloth that carries tool loads and retains its dimensions after washing.
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.
Knee pad pockets
The pockets are positioned so the insert does not slip when you stand up and does not press behind the knee when walking. Top entry — the pad comes out before washing in a second.
Worth being clear about: the pockets alone provide no protection. A class under EN 14404 exists only in combination with BP® 1839 knee pads, sold separately. If the job involves constant kneeling, order them at the same time — otherwise the design serves no purpose.
Cargo pockets. Side patch pockets with flaps: tape measure, phone and fixings stay within reach and do not fall out when you bend over. The folding rule pocket is set into the seam rather than sewn on top, so it does not snag on structures.
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.
