SA-3 Heavy Duty Shop Apron

Great investment: go for the heavy duty

Just used my SA-3 for the first time yesterday while greasing, lubing, cleaning and getting otherwise dirty. Would most certainly have permanently stained my clothes doing these tasks were it not for the apron. I had some concern that the cotton would not prevent grease stains, and was considering going for a waxed canvas apron instead, but this thing is thick enough that it wasn't a problem. As the other reviewer points out, the pockets are useful, though I do wish they were a bit more compartmentalized, including one for a cell phone, as I found my tools getting lost and floating around in the bigger ones. I'm also tall (6'3) and the apron does not make it down to my knees, which leaves some shorts exposure below. It would likely fit most other people quite well. Given the quality of the fabric and the pockets, it's a no brainer to spring the extra few bucks for the SA-3 over the standard Park Tool apron.
