Velilla 9 terry bib apron: the heaviest in the catalogue, for the food industry
This is the apron to choose when plain PVC feels uncomfortable and fabric gets soaked. It combines a cotton terry base coated with PVC, with a weight of 500 g/m²: on the outside it repels water like a normal coated apron, on the inside the terry absorbs sweat and does not stick to clothing throughout the working day.

🧺 Care
Clean daily with water and a cloth on the coated face.

Hang flat to dry; never store it folded with weight on top.
💡 Tip: the real difference from reference 7 lies in the inner face. If your operators spend eight hours straight wearing the apron, the terry of the 9 prevents that feeling of plastic stuck to the body and makes up for the extra 30 g/m² of weight. If the apron is put on and taken off several times a day, the 7 is lighter and does the job.
