Active Gear: safety, protection and workwear at Oxwork

On this brand page, you can spot at a glance what’s available based on stock, compare the price, and build a coherent outfit: a waterproof jacket when water shows up, the right gloves (including work glove, welding glove, heat-resistant glove), and a mask at the right ffp level with optional filters depending on exposure. To complete the setup, face protection can include safety glasses, a helmet and hearing protection depending on the jobsite.

Active Gear at Oxwork is a selection designed for safety and protection at work. The goal is simple: offer clear gear, with products and accessories that are easy to choose based on your use.

To help you decide fast, each product page highlights what matters: the ref, the size, and what’s available based on stock. You can compare the price in seconds and spot a promo when it’s live, without digging around.

This approach speaks to jobs where constraints change quickly: outdoor work, workshop, maintenance, logistics, wet environments, dusty areas, traffic zones. The goal: a coherent kit from clothing to head protection, including hands and respiratory protection, with no blind spots.

Active Gear clothing: comfort, details and protection against water

On the clothing side, our experts prioritize gear you can wear all day. A useful jacket with waterproof protection when water shows up, and cuts that allow movement (flex). Here, details make the difference: simple adjustments, effective closures, comfort zones, and a build that avoids the “bag” effect when you walk, bend, or carry a load.

Depending on needs, some pieces use polyester, which makes sense for durability and daily use. And when weather reduces visibility, it’s not a bonus: visibility becomes a topic on its own. Your gear should stay coherent, not just “half-adapted”.

Shoes, boots and base layers: adapting protection to the ground

In some environments, clothing isn’t enough. The ground often requires foot protection. Depending on your role, you can add low shoes or more covering models, and boots for very wet zones. Depending on constraints, materials like leather may be preferred for strength and resistance.

Bottoms matter too: the bas / basses logic is about freedom of movement and coherent equipment. The objective stays the same: reduce risk, keep good mobility, and avoid compromises that slow you down.

Active Gear gloves: from work gloves to welding gloves

Hands take everything. So you choose gloves based on the real risk, not randomly:

  • Work gloves (handling/maintenance): ideal for logistics and workshop work, prioritizing grip and dexterity.

  • Welding gloves (EN 12477 standard): for specific operations where heat and spatter change the rules.

  • Heat-resistant gloves (EN 407 standard): when temperature becomes a direct hazard (hot contact, exposed areas, repeated handling).

  • Nitrile or latex solutions: for environments requiring chemical tightness or strict hygiene conditions (food environments).

Depending on the environment and tasks, you can also find nitrile or latex options, especially when cleanliness becomes central. A glove isn’t just a barrier: it’s a tool. If it ruins your movement, you’ll end up taking it off.

Respiratory protection: mask, FFP, filters

On jobsites generating dust or fine particles (sanding, cutting, asbestos), choosing a mask is a critical health decision.

  • FFP3 mask (EN 149 standard): for high exposure, especially to very fine or toxic particles.

  • Asbestos focus: the JET.AMIAN.FFP3 mask with valve is specifically recommended for heavy environments, offering improved breathability during prolonged wear.

  • Face protection: complete your kit with safety glasses, hard hats and hearing protection compliant with authorized decibel thresholds.

Glasses, helmet, hearing: protecting the face

Protection is often completed at face level: glasses for splashes and particles, a helmet for impact-risk zones, and hearing protection for noisy environments. Again, you choose based on risk, not habit. The right gear is the one that stays on because it’s compatible with the job.

Hygiene, food, kitchen: maintenance, cleaning, disinfection

In some sectors, constraints change completely: food zones, kitchen workshops, environments where hygiene is the priority. The choice isn’t only about immediate protection: maintenance, cleaning and sometimes disinfection become baseline criteria. There may also be color codes, like white, depending on context.

In other jobs, particle exposure is structuring, like wood. Dust, splinters, cutting: you adjust the protection level, especially for respiratory protection and safety glasses.

Finally, small items can complement the kit depending on the job and season, like a headband. It’s not the core of safety, but it contributes to comfort and real-world coherence.

Depending on the work, you complete your outfit with the right accessories (low shoes or boots, waterproof jacket, nitrile/latex or leather gloves, ffp respirator mask and valve, glasses, helmet), checking the reference, size, stock and care details (cleaning, disinfection), including in food/kitchen environments or wood jobsites, while keeping an eye on price and promo.

Active Gear FAQ

What are the advantages of Active Gear products?

A protection-oriented selection, with products identifiable by ref, and coherent equipment by use: clothing, gloves, mask, face protection.

How do you choose between work gloves, welding gloves and heat-resistant gloves?

Handling/workshop: work glove. Hot operations: welding glove. High thermal exposure: heat-resistant glove.

Is an FFP3 mask essential for woodwork?

Yes. For cutting or sanding hardwoods (such as oak or beech), a high filtration level mask (FFP3) is strongly recommended to protect your airways from carcinogenic wood dust.
