So I got a Forestry Suppliers catalog today and there were some Tyvek coveralls in there. Three different kinds, depending on what you are to use them for, but there are definately some Hazmat kinds in there (good enough to be used in radioactive environments). The link to Forestry Suppliers, and the three different kinds are there. Looks to me the General Purpose suit is used in dry environments, whereas the other two can be used in wet environments. The Special Purpose suit is made from Tychem QC and the Superior Protection suit is made from Tychem SL (basically beefed up versions of Tyvek). The links to the .pdf files on the last two suits provide info oz./yd2, thickness, tearing and breaking strenghs if you wanna check that out.

I'm thinking I may try out the Special Purpose ones, and will probably even splurge the extra $0.55 to get the hood and elastic cuffs! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Has anyone else tried these (or similar) coveralls? I'm thinking they'll be hot because they are coveralls, and we'll see how the durability is. But the model I'm looking at being only $9.50, not too big of a loss if they suck.

JAK, from the Tyvek Jacket thread, have you tried the coveralls out?

And oh yeah, the catalog claims 8 oz. for the hooded General Purpose and Special Purpose suits (M-XL sizes) and 13 oz. for the Superior suit.
