Product Overview
The Cut Resistant Bib Apron is a specialized piece of equipment designed for environments where standard protective wear simply isn't enough. Offering Cut Level D protection, this apron is engineered to safeguard workers against significant cut risks, providing a robust barrier between sharp objects and the user. Whether you are handling industrial machinery or sharp kitchen tools, this garment provides the essential protection required for high-risk tasks.
Key Features
- Cut Level D Protection: Provides a high degree of resistance against sharp edges and blades, significantly reducing the risk of workplace injuries.
- Adjustable Straps: Allows the user to find a comfortable, secure fit regardless of body shape, ensuring the apron stays in place during movement.
- Quick Release Buckle: Ensures the garment can be removed swiftly and safely, which is vital in fast-paced or emergency situations.
- Complex Technical Blend: Utilises advanced fibres including HPPE and glass to achieve superior structural integrity and cut resistance.
Design & Performance
This apron is constructed from a sophisticated blend of 42.5% HPPE, 21.3% glass, 21.3% PET, and 14.9% nylon. This combination results in a substantial, high-performance fabric that meets EN 388 standards (1.5.4.2.D) for mechanical risks. The addition of a 100% nylon lining provides a smoother internal finish, ensuring that the apron remains comfortable during extended shifts despite its heavy-duty protective capabilities. It is a well-engineered garment that prioritises safety without compromising on the wearer's mobility.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its technical nature, the Cut Resistant Bib Apron is perfectly suited for customisation. Our Telford-based team, with over four decades of experience since 1976, can apply your company branding with precision. Embroidery is an excellent choice for a professional appearance, adding a high-quality finish for staff names or company logos. For larger, more prominent designs that require visibility from a distance, our high-resolution printing is an ideal solution. All work is managed in-house to ensure the highest standards are maintained and your brand is represented accurately.
Use Cases
This garment is specifically designed for professionals working in catering, commercial kitchens, and industrial environments where the handling of sharp blades or glass is a daily occurrence. It provides essential protection for butchers, fishmongers, and industrial handlers who require an extra layer of security beyond standard workwear. It is equally useful in any manufacturing context where cut risks are a primary safety concern.

Practical Advice
To ensure maximum safety, always use the adjustable straps to ensure the apron sits correctly on the torso. A secure fit prevents the fabric from catching on equipment and ensures the protective zones remain in the correct position during movement. This apron is designed to be worn over standard workwear as a supplementary layer of protection.
Caring for your product
To maintain the high-performance cut-resistant properties of this apron, it is vital to follow the care instructions meticulously. Neglecting these steps can degrade the specialised fibres and compromise the safety levels of the garment.
A mild domestic wash at 40°C is recommended. Using a mild process helps to preserve the integrity of the HPPE and glass fibres within the fabric. Do not use bleach, as harsh chemicals will break down the molecular structure of the synthetic materials, significantly reducing the apron's protective capabilities.
This item should not be tumble dried; instead, we recommend drip line drying. Excessive heat from a dryer can cause the fabric to shrink or warp. Similarly, do not iron the apron, as direct heat can melt the nylon components. Professional dry cleaning should also be avoided to prevent chemical damage to the technical materials.
