Big problems with (extra) small lab coats
OneSleepyNerd, Jyllian Kemsley and Teve Torbes talk about the difficulty of finding lab coats that fit petite people
@Chemjobber @jkemsley Ill-fitting/uncomfortable is the #1 reason my labmates don't like to wear lab coats. I'm 5'1" and 100 lbs, PXXS.
@onesleepynerd @jkemsley The safety lab coat people will have to catch up to this change, and fast!
@onesleepynerd really? Did you check Bulwark? That's where I got the ones for my lab.
@onesleepynerd Heard that UCLA is having smaller-sized people get nomex coats tailored. Option for you?- @jkemsley @onesleepynerd also, at the risk of sounding flippant, severe burns are also probably uncomfortable #wearurcoat
- @tevetorbes @onesleepynerd Granted, but an ill-fitting lab coat can be dangerous, too. Sleeves over hands? Hem so long you trip?
- @jkemsley @tevetorbes I agree, I am much more klutzy with a lab coat on! Pockets and sleeves catch on everything.
- @jkemsley @onesleepynerd indeed- not listed on this page but listed on size chart bulwark.com/view/fr/349641
- @jkemsley @onesleepynerd I called them when I ordered mine b/c I wanted to make sure I was getting the right sizes- they were very helpful
- @onesleepynerd :( How many women do you think in same boat? Might dept or EH&S consider setting up contract with someone?
