Working as a mechanic you will meet increasingly requirements staying abreast of developments. In the past, cars were basically mechanically operated – today you need to know more about electronics. This development is being reflected in the development of workwear for mechanics. Previously, a pair of blue overalls in hard-wearing polyester was sufficient enough for a mechanic – today the clothing has to fit well and provide plenty of flexibility for the mechanic to enjoy max comfort and protection.

As a mechanic, your working positions are many and varied, and it is very important that your clothes fit comfortably and is not too tight while you are sitting on your heels or standing underneath a lifted car. This is one of the reasons why we have developed a series of workwear which is particularly suitable for garage mechanics. Our Galaxy series is made of durable fabric with ergonomically shaped legs so it is extremely comfortable to wear. In addition to needing to fit well and be flexible, it is important that the mechanic’s workwear does not have any sharp or hard objects that might scratch a vehicle’s surface. This has also been addressed by the Galaxy series, which has buttons and zippers which are either concealed or covered by fabric.

A mechanic’s work is synonymous with having to spend a lot of time kneeling. A mechanic kneels down many times during a working day, and causes a repetitive strain, and a pair of shock-absorbing knee pads are a must. You want to keep your knees healthy for the rest of your life. Knee pads protect your knees against injury – and to make sure that your work trousers last longer, we use Cordura® reinforcement fabric on the knee pockets.
