Protective equipment for everyone

Idling through the latest equipment catalogue of Swedish industrial clothing firm Blåkläder, The Ranger was delighted to find a hi-viz kilt:

Blåkläder kilt

No, it’s deadly serious. Features include:

  • Two loose nail pockets, can be placed in the front bellow pockets
  • Two back pockets with bellows
  • Rule pocket with pen pocket and knife-holder
  • Hammer loop
  • Leg pocket with telephone pocket
  • Certified according to EU standard EN 471 cl 2, high-visibility warning clothing

It’s not that he fancies wearing one, you understand. But, like Radio 3, it’s just comforting to know it’s there. (Thanks to David Harris via UKTC)

    But what should a Scottish builder wear under his hi-viz kilt?

    The Ranger responds: the answer, from a real Scot, can be found here.
