Bucket Boss 82208 8 Pocket Bib Apron, Duck Wear

 (4 customer reviews)

If you have read my review on the Fastcap Ballistic apron you know how much I hated this product because it begins to unravel the first day. It was pure junk. Now for the Bucket Boss 82208 Duck apron. The material is thin, not as heavy as I thought since the word "Duck" was used. However this apron so far has not come undone as the FastCap Ballistic apron does and will ( I had two of these pieces of pure junk). I like the cross over on the back straps but here is the Flaw... They sewed the crossover on the back to close and my head is hard to get through. This causes discomfort and my shoulders get red on top. I carefully cut the stiching on the cross area, made the head-hole area larger by tying a knot. Now it feels MUCH better. I do not understand why companies market and sell a product without FIRST testing it out on professionals FIRST. Once the bugs are removed then sell it. I give this produst a 2 because of the small cross area and the thin material that should be called "DOWN"...Read more

Bucket Boss is a name well respected and this apron shows the same commitment to quality in their product line. The material is light weight, but sturdy and appears to be durable. Pockets are generous in size, although a tad shallow but don't try to overload it, the straps are not wide enough to bear a lot of weight without digging in.

The apron showed up quickly,that was a plus. It fades quickly when exposed to sunlght,not a big deal . Within a week of using it around the shop,the fabric where the stitching attaches one of the pockets towards the center of the apron, started to rip. Not the stitching. It stayed intact,the fabric it was attached to was tearing loose. It appears to have been from snagging it on something while moving around the shop. Still,I expected better.
Otherwise otherwise its an ok apron for the price.
