ARX Introduces PPE Line Specifically Designed for Women in Construction
ARX, a women-owned company, launches a personal protective equipment line tailored for women, addressing the long-standing issue of ill-fitting safety gear in male-dominated industries.
ARX, a women-owned personal protective equipment (PPE) brand, has launched its first product line specifically designed for women, aiming to set new standards for fit, function, and comfort in jobsite safety gear. The initiative responds to the significant gap in PPE that adequately serves women in industries like construction, where safety equipment has traditionally been designed for men.
Founded by Dr. Hilary Gallin and Kaitlin McCarthy, ARX stems from their personal frustrations with PPE that didn't fit or meet their needs in male-dominated fields. The company's debut collection, featuring the Original Vest and Original Shirt, incorporates a proprietary Multipoint Fit System for a tailored fit, breathability, and mobility without sacrificing protection or durability.
This launch coincides with updated OSHA regulations mandating properly fitting PPE for all construction workers, with ARX's vest already ANSI-107 Type R Class 2 Certified to meet these standards. The brand has garnered support from leading companies, signaling a shift towards inclusive safety solutions in the workplace.
