Work Safety Gear Reviewer

Marco Reyes

Independent, bilingual (English / Spanish) reviewer of US work safety gear — safety footwear, fall protection, and high-visibility apparel. Reads the standards (ASTM F2413, ANSI Z359, ANSI/ISEA 107, OSHA 1910/1926), pulls manufacturer spec sheets and product tags, and aggregates what tradespeople actually report — and tells you when a number is a manufacturer claim versus an independent standard. Ranks on protection-and-fit merit, never by affiliate commission.
