Jyllian and others;
  I suspect you or who ever came up with this idea has never been in the commercial world where your next pay check is dependent on meeting a sales target for goods or services. As a science based professional organization I do NOT think the ACS should be in the business of selecting winners and losers in the commercial arena and in any way shape or form promoting one product over another.. If someone wants to design and conduct a science based study of the attributes of laboratory clothing conducive to safety have at it. And when the results are in publish them in  our journal.

As one of my mentors was prone to say -- every great idea deserves a second thought. On reflection, many are not so great after all.

Lets get the ACS back to the world of science.

With due respect,
  Roger O. McClellan

In my last position we had lab coats that were flame resistant (light-weight nomex) and also provided chemical splash protection via a coating that repelled liquids. The material also was anti-static. The coats were very comfortable and I felt gave me the best protection over any lab coat I had ever used before. They are made by Workrite Uniform Company, link attached here:

Hi all,

C&EN is looking at giving away some lab coats as part of a promotional event, and I've been asked to provide options. For those of you that distribute lab coats to researchers that use chemicals (whether in a chemistry research lab or elsewhere!), I'd love to know the brand and style that you use. You can share on the list or email me directly at j_kemsley**At_Symbol_Here**acs.org.

Thank you!

Jyllian
