Workwear Overalls, Coveralls & Boilersuits
How to Choose Overalls for Professional Work
Size up in overalls if you're between sizes or if the garment will be worn over fleece or base layers. Overalls that are too tight restrict movement and increase wear at stress points like knees, seat, and shoulders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a boilersuit and a coverall?
The terms are largely interchangeable. Boilersuit typically refers to a one-piece garment with wrist and ankle cuffs. Coverall may include looser fit garments. In practice, select based on fit, feature set (pockets, knee pad pockets, hi-vis) rather than the label.
Can overalls with knee pad pockets accept any knee pad?
Most knee pad pocket overalls accept standard EN 14404 Type 2 knee pads. Check the pocket dimensions in the product listing — different manufacturers use different pocket sizes.
Are disposable coveralls reusable?
No — disposable coveralls (typically Tyvek or polypropylene) are single-use only. Reusing disposable coveralls in contaminated environments defeats their purpose. Always dispose of correctly after use in contaminated environments.
