PRODUCT & FIT

Are ARX products designed specifically for women?

Yes. ARX gear is designed and built with a woman’s proportions in mind. This accounts for differences in women’s hip size, shoulders, chest, and overall fit when compared to standard PPE, which is almost always designed to fit men. Our goal is comfort without sacrificing protection on the jobsite.

How should a safety vest fit?

Your safety vest should fit comfortably over your clothing without sagging or pulling. Movement should not be restricted, but it shouldn’t be loose enough to snag on items as you walk by or to hang off the shoulders.

What sizes do you offer?

Our sizes are designed for various body types and to layer comfortably over clothing. We offer sizes ranging from small to large, with a fit based on real women working in real industries, not simply scaled-down men’s gear. The vest also features an adjustable drawstring for a more tailored and customizable fit. Be sure to check our size chart and compare it to your own measurements to find the right size for you. Our size small vest is the smallest vest possible while still meeting ANSI guidelines.

Are your products adjustable?

Many of our products are adjustable with drawstrings and two way zippers that you can adjust based on your needs. This helps to provide a more secure fit to accommodate varied body shapes and to help with layering over clothing without sacrificing coverage or comfort.

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

Is the ARX vest ANSI compliant?

Our high-visibility reflective vest has been reviewed by a third party and meets ANSI 107 guidelines. When shopping, be sure to check individual products for further compliance details as they apply to that product.

How does proper fit impact safety?

Proper fit of PPE can greatly impact your safety on the job. Loose or ill-fitting gear can snag, pull, or shift as you move. Tight gear can restrict the range of motion and decrease your level of comfort on the job. A proper fit also ensures that your visibility coverage remains in place where it’s needed.

Product Use

How do I wear the ARX Hair Wrap?

The ARX Hair Wrap can be worn on its own or comfortably under a hard hat to help protect and secure your hair throughout the workday. Wear it as a full wrap or style it as a headband, depending on your coverage preference. The lightweight stretch fabric is designed to stay in place during movement.

Can I wear ARX products outside of work?

Yes. Many of our products are designed to fit comfortably and functionality during activities such as cycling, running, or walking, where visibility is important, even outside of work.

Are ARX products suitable for layering?

Yes. Our products are made to be worn over a base layer or light outerwear so you stay comfortable on the job. The vest has an adjustable drawstring and two way zipper to accommodate layering in different scenarios.

How do I care for my ARX gear?

Each product has care instructions on the label so you know exactly how to keep your items looking and performing at their best. In most cases, gentle washing and air drying will help maintain visibility of materials and help promote a longer lifespan.
