- Gaps appear between boots and pants during movement
- Discomfort leads to improper wear or non-compliance
- Riding up creates constant adjustment needs
The IDHS225 Tall insulated bib pant features extended inseam length specifically designed for workers 6’2″ and taller, ensuring complete coverage and proper protection.

The IDHS225 Tall features extended inseam length specifically designed for workers 6’2″ and taller. The tall sizing provides 2-3 inches of additional length while maintaining proper proportions in the rise, straps, and bib section. This ensures complete leg coverage and eliminates dangerous gaps between pants and boots.
How do I know if I need tall FR bib pants instead of regular length?
If you’re 6’2″ or taller, or if you find regular workwear rides up exposing your ankles during movement, tall sizing is recommended. Proper fit means the pants reach the top of your work boots when standing and maintain coverage when bending or climbing. Contact TECHACS at 212-202-1952 for sizing guidance.
Does the tall size maintain the same flame resistance as regular sizes?
Yes, the IDHS225 Tall meets identical NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, and ASTM F1506 standards as regular sizes. The inherently flame resistant Westex DH Antistat fabric provides consistent protection throughout the entire extended length, ensuring tall workers receive equal safety performance.
How should I measure for tall insulated bib pants?

Can I exchange if the tall size doesn’t fit correctly?
Yes, TECHACS Safety Solutions offers size exchanges to ensure proper fit. Contact them at 212-202-1952 immediately upon receiving your order if sizing adjustments are needed. Proper fit is critical for safety and compliance.
