280360003 - Big Bill Model 280 Techno Lite Work Vest, Navy, Large

Industrial-Grade Durability and Comfort

The Big Bill Techno Lite Unlined Vest is a staple in industrial workwear, designed to provide a practical layer of protection and utility without the bulk of a full jacket. Identified by the internal SKU MIL280360003, this vest is crafted from Big Bill's signature Techno Lite fabric, a robust 5-ounce blend of 65% polyester and 35% cotton. This specific composition is engineered to offer the best of both worlds: the breathability and softness of cotton combined with the high tensile strength and color retention of polyester. For MRO professionals and facility managers, this means a garment that withstands the rigors of daily wear while maintaining a professional appearance over time.

The unlined construction of this vest makes it an incredibly versatile piece of apparel. In warmer environments or during high-activity tasks, it provides necessary pocket storage and torso protection without causing overheating. Conversely, in cooler conditions, its lightweight profile allows it to be easily worn over long-sleeve shirts, hoodies, or even heavier coveralls. The Classic Navy color is a standard in many industries, hiding grime and oil stains effectively while adhering to common uniform codes. The vest features a snap-front closure system, which is preferred in industrial settings for its durability and ease of use compared to zippers that can jam with debris.

Functionality is central to the design of the Model 280 vest. It includes multiple pockets—typically two chest pockets and two lower patch pockets—providing ample space for essential tools, gauges, notepads, and communication devices. The use of ring-spun yarn in the fabric manufacturing process ensures a tighter, smoother weave that resists pilling and tearing, extending the lifecycle of the garment. This vest is an excellent choice for procurement specialists looking to outfit teams in warehousing, logistics, light manufacturing, and general maintenance roles where mobility and utility are paramount.
