Joseph Milot III, director of product management, Protective Industrial Products Inc. (PIP), discusses eyewear and protective clothing trends for 2020.

For protective clothing, there’s been an increased demand for more multifunctional and seasonally versatile garments. Although not necessarily new, gender-specific, stylish options that offer an enhanced fit is still a prevalent trend in protective apparel that we anticipate will only continue to grow. For eye protection, fit and weight are becoming two increasingly popular characteristics. Lightweight eyewear that offers a narrower fit – traditionally for smaller faces – is a consistent trend we’re seeing across our network of distributors.
