PIP USM-4352L Stainless Steel Mesh Tunic with Extended Apron Front with Belly Guard Silver

The PIP USM-4352L is a stainless steel mesh tunic designed to provide extended front protection with an integrated belly guard. This unisex, full-back tunic is constructed from stainless steel mesh, yielding a lightweight yet sturdy garment intended for environments where metal mesh protection is advantageous. The design includes a pull-over silhouette, two full-length sleeves with metal snap cuffs, and a shoulder flap with a snap closure to simplify donning and doffing, helping minimize downtime during shifts.

Key construction details include a mesh ring wire diameter of .019 inches, which offers a balance between comfort and protection. The footwear of the garment is designed to maintain weld strength at this slightly smaller wire size, with documented pull-apart force figures indicating robust construction relative to common alternatives. The extended apron front adds belly guard protection, addressing risks associated with knife or stick contact while maintaining a lighter, more maneuverable garment compared with bulkier options. The garment is noted as reusable and launderable, with compliance references to FDA 21 CFR for safe direct food contact and European EN1082 standards, reflecting its intended versatility across multiple regulated contexts.

Practical use considerations include its non-bleach care requirements and bulk-pack packaging, suitable for processing and inventory workflows in facilities that require durable, disposable-use-lending PPE or repeated sanitation cycles. The USM-4352L is acquired through Worldwide Protective Products (WPP), and the packaging designation is bulk with a case quantity of one per package, which impacts stocking, sizing, and replacement planning. For users evaluating compatibility, this garment is specified as a full-back tunic in stainless steel mesh and is available in a silver color, with sizing treated as unisex adult. For reference, a downloadable specification sheet is available to verify exact measurements and performance data before purchase.
