SIP Protection is a European PPE manufacturer, and the BASEPRO Type C is the full-coverage step up from the Type A in the same range — genuine 360° leg protection rather than front-only, for arborists who move around the trunk and branches during climbing work. If front-only protection suits your work better, the Perthus BasePro Type A is available at a lower price, or in Hi-Vis Orange for improved visibility.
