Protective Gear · Austin, Texas

Nine pieces of protective gear, the kind a real job actually calls for.

This is the whole range: chainsaw chaps, steel-toe work boots, a respirator, gloves, ear and eye protection, a dust mask, knee pads and a hi-vis vest. Every one ships from our storefront on River Road, checked by hand before it goes on the shelf, and every one is inquiry-only — no cart, no card on file, just a phone call or an email and a price basis we can stand behind.

Chainsaw chaps and steel-toe work boots are the two most asked-about lines

Most calls about this shelf start with one of two items: the chainsaw chaps, because someone just bought a saw and their insurance or their own good sense told them to cover their legs, or the steel-toe work boots, because a job site turned them away without them. Both get checked before they leave the shop — seams on the chaps, sole bond on the boots — the same way every item on this page does. We are not a safety-equipment wholesaler and we don't try to be. Nine items, no fourteen versions of the same glove.

We won't tell you a mask or a lens meets a standard we were never issued a certificate for. What's written under each item below is what the maker told us and what we've seen wearing it ourselves — nothing graded, nothing rated, unless that number came printed on the box.

Anti-fog safety glasses resting on a wooden workbench

VX-PG-01

Safety Glasses, Anti-Fog

Polycarbonate lens, wrapped at the temple for side coverage — the pair that lives in a truck door pocket, not a case. Good for anyone running a strimmer, a chop saw, or a wire brush on a drill who keeps taking their glasses off because they fog up and forgetting to put them back on.

Specification
Lens	Polycarbonate, anti-fog coating
Frame	Wraparound, side shields
Suits	Strimming, sanding, cutting, general yard work

from $8Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

Foam-lined ear defenders hanging on a workshop wall hook

VX-PG-02

Ear Defenders, 27 SNR

Foam-lined cups on an adjustable steel band, rated 27 SNR. That number is printed on the packaging by the manufacturer — we're just passing it along, not grading it ourselves. Reaches for the mower, the chainsaw, or an afternoon at the workbench with a router running.

Specification
Rating	27 SNR
Cups	Foam-lined
Band	Adjustable steel

from $17Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

Open box of FFP2 dust masks with one mask resting beside it

VX-PG-03

Dust Mask, FFP2, Box of 10

Molded cup, foam nose seal, boxed ten to a carton. Sold as a box because that's how they come from the maker — we don't split cartons, and we won't sell you one mask and call it a starter pack. For sanding, sawdust, and the kind of job that puts a film on your truck dashboard by lunch.

Specification
Rating	FFP2
Seal	Foam nose seal, molded cup
Pack size	Box of 10

from $13Per box of 10, starting price basis.

VX-PG-04

Steel-Toe Work Boots

Leather upper, steel toe cap, oil-resistant sole. This is the pair that gets turned away at the gate elsewhere, so it comes home with people who work sites that check for it. We don't stock half sizes on the shelf — call ahead and we'll tell you honestly whether your size is in stock or three days out.

Specification
Upper	Leather
Toe	Steel cap
Sole	Oil-resistant

from $79Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

Hi-vis mesh work vest with reflective bands hanging on a ladder

VX-PG-05

Hi-Vis Work Vest

Mesh back panel so it doesn't turn into a sweat sponge by mid-morning, two reflective bands front and back. One size fits over a jacket. It's the vest people grab for roadside work, a driveway job near traffic, or standing near a running mower at dusk.

Specification
Back panel	Mesh
Reflective bands	Two, front and back

from $11Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

Pair of gel insert knee pads lying on a workshop floor

VX-PG-06

Knee Pads, Gel Insert

Neoprene strap, a gel insert instead of a foam pad that packs flat after a season, hook-and-loop close so they stay put. Bought most often by people laying a patio, weeding a long bed, or crawling under a deck for the third time this year.

Specification
Insert	Gel
Strap	Neoprene, hook-and-loop close

from $21Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

VX-PG-07

Chainsaw Chaps

Layered ballistic nylon that wraps the front of both legs. This is the item most likely to be asked about on the phone the same afternoon someone buys a chainsaw, and we'd rather they call before the saw is even out of the box than after. We won't tell you these replace paying attention to where the bar is pointed — they're a second layer, not the first.

Specification
Material	Layered ballistic nylon
Coverage	Front of both legs

from $58Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

Pair of split leather welding gloves with gauntlet cuffs on a metal workbench

VX-PG-08

Welding Gloves, Split Leather

Split leather with a 14 inch gauntlet cuff and kevlar stitching so the seams outlast the leather. Bought for stick welding at home, moving firewood off a hot burn barrel, or anything else that would otherwise leave a burn scar across the wrist.

Specification
Material	Split leather
Cuff	14in gauntlet
Stitching	Kevlar

from $26Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

Half-face respirator with two cartridges resting on a workbench

VX-PG-09

Respirator, Half-Face, Organic Vapor

Half-face body, replaceable cartridges, a silicone seal that actually sits flat against a jaw instead of gapping at the cheekbone. Stain, solvent, and spray work all call for this over the box of dust masks above — different job, different mask, and we'll say so if you call about the wrong one.

Specification
Body	Half-face
Cartridges	Replaceable, organic vapor
Seal	Silicone

from $37Starting price basis, confirmed when you ask.

How an inquiry turns into a package on your porch

Call, email, or use the form below. Tell us the item and, if you know it, the size — boot size, glove size, band size on the ear defenders.
We confirm what's on the shelf. Most of this range is stocked in Austin. If something's out, we say so and give a real date rather than a vague one.
You get a price basis and a total. Nothing is charged over the phone or through this site — payment happens when you collect or when we ship.
It ships in three days from Austin, or we call you and say why not. That's not a slogan, it's what the owner tells every customer who asks.

Who this shelf is not for

If you need equipment certified for confined-space entry, fall arrest, or an industrial site audit, that's a specialty safety supplier's job and we'll tell you so rather than sell you something close. Nothing here carries a certification we weren't issued, and we're not going to print one on a label to make the shelf look bigger. What we do carry is the everyday layer — the glasses, the gloves, the boots — that a homeowner or a small crew reaches for most weeks, checked before it leaves our hands.
