I don't understand it, why can't I buy these in the United States? Furthermore, why is it that only craftsman at sears carries coveralls with a teflon coating on them? Worst problem about the craftsman coveralls is that they don't adjust for size, assume that you're 5'7 to 5'11..

Interesting, I've never even heard of this. Can you launder them like normal? Does it flake off, etc?

Seems pretty cool.

Why not call Sarah at the Dickiesstore in the UK? Why don't we get hot CSR's?

Order from the UK. It'll just take a little longer to get to you.

Because teflon may cause cancer... or it causes global warming... or it kills bunnies... in any case, it's unsafe for Americans.

Obviously you are a danger to US Americans and need to be classified as such. Either that or you're the one spreading Chick Cancer.

I thought Goretex was just polyurethane on a teflon substrate.

What's the advantage to a teflon coated pair of jeans? Are you going to fry eggs in your crotch and don't want them to stick?

Telfon really has no business in the kitchen, however in things like a bathroom and clothing, it makes perfect sense. You want nonstick clothing so that fluids supposedly bead off instead of staining your clothing such as coolant, water, oil, (gasoline?), etc. I bet teflon makes cleaning a lot easier too.

There work clothes who cares about stains. Stop worrying about stupid shit and go get some work done.

If you pour a massive amount of fluid onto yourself while you're working, don't you want to be able to continue working because it all beaded off of you and onto the floor or do you want to spend time getting out of your clothes, washing them and finding a replacement?? The idea of having coolant get on me and not having to do anything because it doesn't actually get through (hypothetically, I dunno if this would work) seems very exciting to me.
