Abstract

Agricultural workers require work wear that fits well and is comfortable, durable, and protects from hazardous substances encountered in the work place. In order to understand how garment style and design details affect fitting, mobility, durability and protection, three styles of disposable agricultural coveralls are compared through wearer trials. They include a traditional disposable coverall from the market (Labeled as “B†), a modified coverall from the same manufacturer with elastic panels in the back (Labeled as “R†) and a design created by the researchers that incorporates pleated sections (Labeled as “P)
