280360007 - Pioneer Techno Lite Unlined Work Vest, Navy XXL

Practical Gear for the Hardworking Tradesperson

When you are out on the shop floor or the job site, you need gear that works as hard as you do without getting in the way. The Pioneer Techno Lite Unlined Vest (Navy, XXL) is the perfect solution for welders, fitters, and general laborers who need extra pockets and a layer of protection without the heat of a full jacket. This vest is built tough, using a water-resistant polyester that sheds sparks, dust, and light rain, helping to keep your underlying clothes clean and dry. The unlined construction is a massive advantage for welders working in variable conditions; it provides a slick surface that doesn't catch debris easily and won't cause you to overheat when the sparks start flying.

We know that organization is key to efficiency. Instead of running back to the toolbox for a soapstone, a striker, or a tape measure, you can keep your essential everyday carry items right on your chest and waist. The pockets are reinforced to handle the weight of small hand tools, and the heavy-duty zipper ensures the vest stays closed, preventing it from snagging on machinery or workpieces. The Navy Blue color is standard for many crews and hides the inevitable grime of the metalworking trade much better than high-visibility orange or yellow.

Comfort is often overlooked in safety gear, but not here. The XXL size provides ample room for movement, meaning you can wear this over your FR shirt or leather sleeves without feeling like a stuffed sausage. It covers your core, protecting your kidneys and back from drafts, while leaving your arms completely free for precision welding or grinding. Easy to clean and hard to destroy, this vest is a smart investment for anyone who wants to upgrade their daily work kit.
