What makes Lakeland products special?
Lakeland has a strong focus on user protection and well-being when developing their innovative protective suits.

Lakeland has managed to differentiate itself from its competitors by developing high-tech products and designs that provide the user with extra safety and extreme comfort.

Best-in-class wearing comfort – Super-B Style
Lakeland is recognized for their Super-B Style design which includes the following features/benefits:

Attached sleeves – attached sleeves result in greater freedom of movement and less stress/wear on the seams – especially at the crotch. In addition, the sleeve doesn’t pull up the arm during use, so Lakeland clothing doesn’t need thumb loops – which can get caught in machinery and cause a hazard. Lakeland’s competitors produce with a BATWING sleeve. See Super B-Style features and benefits in the table below.
Three-piece hood – Lakeland was first in the industry to introduce this design. The three-piece hood results in a 3D shape that is more rounded and provides a better fit to the head. The hood follows the user’s movements and results in a more comfortable and durable suit, as well as a more efficient fitting of the respirator.
Diamond-shaped crotch gusset – the crotch has a two-part diamond-shaped gusset that creates a better fit, allowing greater freedom of movement and less stress/wear at the crotch.
Elasticated hood, waist, sleeves and ankles are a matter of course.
Chest labels – Lakeland clothing has labels with all CE marking requirements on the chest. This makes it easy for health and safety authorities, users and managers to see if the garment is correctly certified for the task at hand.

Personal protection in the claims service industry
Employees in the claims service industry can be exposed to a wide range of substances and chemicals in their daily work that require effective protection. In the property damage restoration industry, it should also be a top priority to make sure that the employee is properly protected for the work that needs to be done, such as mold remediation, asbestos abatement, PCB remediation, fire damage restoration, body recovery, demolition, etc.

Due to the many environmentally and health hazardous particles and chemicals that sanitation workers handle and are exposed to, as well as working in hard-to-reach work areas such as crawl spaces, attics and the like, it would be virtually impossible to choose just one type of protective suit to cover the many different tasks. 100% protection against substances, particles and chemicals is essential, but wearing comfort is also important for wellbeing and work efficiency.

For example, a tight and closed type 3 and 4 chemical suit would be the wrong choice for asbestos remediation or any other type of remediation where protection against particles is required. Here, an approved type 5 suit with greater comfort compared to, for example, a type 2 suit would be more suitable. breathability should be the preferred choice. On the other hand, chemical work should be carried out with a type 3 and 4 suit or alternatively a type 6 suit, but only light spraying with disinfectants, cleaning fluids, etc. and where the suit is not exposed to wear and tear, such as working in crawl spaces and other areas that can damage the suit. Here, a hard-wearing and decidedly chemical-resistant type 3 and 4 suit should always be chosen.
