Before you buy
Start with suitability, then compare the evidence. These checks are questions to investigate, not promises that every product in this ranking meets them.
- Match equipment to the activity and user; environmental claims do not establish protective performance.
- Check fit, cleaning requirements and wear-part replacement rather than fibre content alone.
- For used safety equipment, establish its history and follow the manufacturer's replacement guidance.
What the ranking does—and does not—tell you
The ethics score is a comparison of the information recorded in our catalogue, not a customer star rating, safety test or complete lifecycle assessment. Check the individual product's sources, certificate scope and current retailer details before deciding.
