What are Work clothes, shoes, gloves, protective equipment and who are they for?
Work clothes, shoes, gloves, protective equipment are items such as coveralls, trousers, jackets, safety footwear and PPE designed to protect workers. The Sitypro.com category includes products for construction, manufacturing, logistics and healthcare to improve comfort, durability and reduce injury risk.
How do I choose the right size of work footwear and what to check when trying them on?
Use your EU size and try boots with the socks you will wear at work. Check the toe protection (steel/composite), sole rating (anti-slip SRC), insulation for winter boots and the fastening system (laces or BOA).
Which gloves are suitable for working with oils and chemicals?
Choose nitrile-coated and chemically resistant gloves such as WORTEX 485 nitrile-coated models. Nitrile protects against oils, solvents and abrasion; check the protection category and cuff length.
How do winter jackets differ in the category and which to choose for outdoor work?
Winter jackets differ by insulation level, water resistance and hi-vis rating. For outdoor work choose an insulated, water-repellent jacket with reflective elements, such as TIMBRA HI-VIZ KL.2 or CERVA CREMORNE models.
Which work trousers are suitable for electrical installation work and do they have anti-perforation inserts?
For electrical work choose trousers made of flame-resistant or spark-resistant fabrics with reinforced knees and tool pockets, such as HH OXFORD CONSTRUCTION. Some models include reinforced knee patches; check each product’s specs to confirm anti-perforation inserts.
Which footwear from the catalogue is suitable for slippery surfaces and which certification to look for?
For slippery surfaces choose footwear with an anti-slip sole marked SRC. Check product descriptions for SRC rating and a durable patterned sole.
Which gloves are best for precision assembly work and what does thin nitrile mean?
Thin nitrile gloves are ideal for precision assembly, offering high tactile sensitivity—examples include Ethel Garden-style gloves. 'Thin nitrile' refers to a thinner nitrile wall (around 0.1–0.2 mm) giving better touch while retaining protection against oils and some chemicals.
Which safety helmets and head protection are in the category and how to choose by purpose?
The category includes construction helmets, helmets with integrated ear protection and various protection classes. Choose a standard helmet for general construction, hi‑vis helmets for roadworks and helmets with built‑in hearing protection for noisy environments.
Which footwear to choose for winter outdoor work and which parameters matter?
Choose insulated, water‑resistant winter safety boots with a grippy tread such as WORTEX winter boots or TIMBRA hi‑viz models. Key parameters are insulation rating, waterproofing, thermal lining and a sole suitable for snow and ice.
