Product Overview
The Premier PR115 Waterproof Bib Apron represents a sophisticated solution for professionals who require robust protection without sacrificing comfort. Specifically designed for high-moisture environments, this apron acts as a resilient barrier against water and chemical splashes. Whether you are working in a bustling salon or managing a busy front-of-house service, this apron ensures your uniform remains pristine and dry throughout the shift.
Key Features
- Waterproof Polyurethane Coating: The polyester base is treated with a polyurethane layer, ensuring that liquids bead off the surface rather than saturating the fabric.
- Adjustable Neckband with Plastic Buckle: Allows the wearer to customise the height of the bib, ensuring optimal coverage and comfort for individuals of various heights.
- Bleach Resistance: The fabric is engineered to withstand contact with bleach, a critical feature for hair professionals and cleaning staff who work with harsh chemicals.
- Self-Fabric Ties: Provides a secure and consistent fit around the waist, maintaining a professional silhouette even during vigorous activity.
Design & Performance
Constructed from 100% polyester with a technical polyurethane coating, the PR115 is notably lightweight. This choice of fabric ensures that the wearer does not feel weighed down, even when layered over a full uniform. The smooth, non-porous surface is specifically designed for hygiene and efficiency; it can be wiped down with ease between tasks, reducing the frequency of full laundering.
The durability of the garment is reinforced by its SEDEX and REACH accreditations, signifying that the apron meets high standards of ethical production and chemical safety. Performance-wise, the apron remains flexible, resisting the cracking often associated with lower-quality waterproof materials, ensuring it remains a reliable part of your workwear rotation for the long term.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
Despite its waterproof coating, the PR115 is well-suited for customisation. At MyWorkwear, our Telford-based team, established in 1976, has decades of experience applying branding to technical fabrics. For a highly professional and prestigious appearance, we recommend embroidery for smaller logos and staff names. This creates a textured, permanent finish that withstands the rigours of industrial use.
For larger, high-impact branding or complex graphics, print is an excellent alternative. Printing allows for bold, sharp designs that remain visible even from a distance. Our in-house experts ensure that whichever method you choose, the branding is applied with precision, maintaining the professional image of your business.
Use Cases
This apron is exceptionally versatile. In the health and beauty sector, it is indispensable for colourists who need protection from bleach and hair dyes. In the hospitality industry, it serves as a practical layer for front-of-house staff or outdoor dining servers who may encounter spillages or rain. It is also highly effective in light cleaning roles or kitchen environments where frequent liquid contact occurs.

Practical Advice
The PR115 is supplied in a generous one-size-fits-all format, measuring 72cm in width and 86cm in length. We recommend using the adjustable neck buckle to position the bib just below the collarbone for the most effective protection. Because the fabric is lightweight, it layers comfortably over polo shirts or tunics without restricting movement.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the technical properties of the waterproof coating is essential for the longevity of the apron. We recommend a domestic machine wash at 60°C. This temperature is high enough to ensure proper hygiene and the removal of professional chemicals or food residues, while staying within the limits that protect the polyurethane layer from degradation.
Avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can coat the fibres and interfere with the waterproof finish. After washing, the apron should be air-dried. Following these simple steps will ensure the fabric remains supple and the bleach-resistant properties stay intact, protecting your investment and your professional appearance.
