Vêtements de Sécurité Cofra - Catalogue produits 2026

Cofra was founded in Barletta in 1938 as Cortelgomma, a workshop established by Ruggiero Cortellino to manufacture work footwear from materials recovered from tyres and military uniforms. Within a few years, the workshop expanded and began distributing hundreds of pairs of shoes throughout Italy. In 1983, the company adopted the name COFRA under the management of Giuseppe Cortellino and began its international expansion. Growth beyond the borders of the European Union accelerated in 2003; the workwear division was established in 2004, broadening the expertise developed in the professional footwear sector.

Cofra safety workwear includes garments and footwear designed to protect workers during forestry, agricultural, construction, industrial and logistics activities. The selection features equipment for working with chainsaws and sharp tools, along with protective shoes and boots for different working environments. COFRA controls its production process and tests raw materials and finished products in its own chemical and physical laboratories before certification by authorised bodies.

This page also includes the following types of Cofra safety workwear, designed to protect the body, legs and feet.

• Cofra protective cut-resistant jackets: they protect the upper body during tasks involving the risk of accidental contact with cutting tools. Their technical construction combines protective inserts, resistance and the freedom of movement required while working;
• Cofra cut-resistant trousers and chaps: they protect the lower limbs when working with chainsaws and other sharp tools. Their ergonomic shapes support a secure fit and easy movement during forestry, agricultural and grounds-maintenance work;
• Cofra protective safety shoes and boots: they protect the feet through configurations designed for specific occupational risks. Depending on the model, they may feature a toe cap, penetration-resistant midsole, slip-resistant outsole or chainsaw cut protection;

On AgriEuro, Cofra safety workwear can be selected according to its technical features, helping users identify the most suitable solution for their operating requirements. The choice should begin with the specific risk, the part of the body requiring protection and the actual working conditions.

• Type of protection: jackets, trousers and chaps meet different requirements from shoes and boots; each item should be selected according to the task and tools involved;
• Standard and declared level: markings, technical standards and classes shown on the individual product page allow the protection provided by each model to be compared;
• Fit and size: the correct size limits excess fabric, pressure points and garment movement, supporting freedom of movement and stability during work;
• Materials and construction: resistant fabrics, protective inserts, reinforcements and linings should be assessed together with breathability, weight and the climatic conditions of the workplace;
• Footwear features: the toe cap, penetration-resistant midsole, outsole grip, ankle support and cut protection must correspond to the identified risks;
• Required maintenance: the label, information notice and manufacturer's instructions specify washing, drying, periodic inspections and criteria for replacing the PPE.

The range meets the requirements of professional use in forestry, agriculture, construction and industry, as well as demanding domestic use in woodland care and firewood preparation. Selection should always be linked to a risk assessment and the instructions for the equipment being used.

The different product families make it possible to assemble equipment suited to the task and the exposed areas of the body. Jackets, trousers, chaps, shoes and boots perform complementary functions and are not interchangeable. The product specifications, marking, size and compatibility with other PPE should be checked before selection.

Cofra protective cut-resistant jackets are intended for tasks where the upper body may be exposed to accidental contact with cutting tools. Their construction combines resistant materials and protective inserts positioned in the areas specified by the garment design. The fit should allow the operator to hold equipment, bend their arms and move their torso without displacing the protective sections. Fastenings, cuffs and adjustments help keep the jacket correctly positioned during pruning, felling, delimbing and forestry maintenance. Weight and breathability also affect comfort during prolonged sessions or in mild temperatures. The jacket should be combined with cut-resistant trousers, suitable footwear, gloves, a helmet, face protection and hearing protection when required by the risk assessment. The marking and information notice for the model should always be consulted, as the protected area and performance may vary between products.

The main aspects to compare include:

• Position of the inserts: this identifies the areas of the torso and upper limbs covered by the protection provided by the individual model;
• Adjustments: cuffs, hems and fastenings help keep the garment secure without restricting the movements required by the task;
• Thermal comfort: weight, lining and the ability to release heat and moisture affect comfort during prolonged work;
• Compatibility with other PPE: the cut and fit should allow the jacket to be correctly combined with gloves, a helmet and lower-limb protection.

Cofra cut-resistant trousers and chaps protect the lower limbs during operations involving chainsaws and other sharp tools, according to the performance declared for each product. Trousers provide integrated coverage and a fit similar to technical workwear; chaps are worn over compatible clothing. The choice depends on the frequency and duration of the work, the mobility required and the area protected by the model. Inserts, reinforcements and the ergonomic construction should remain in their intended position when the operator bends down, walks on uneven ground or handles timber. Pockets and functional details must not interfere with protection. Size and adjustments require particular attention, as an excessively loose or tight garment may hinder movement. Washing, drying and inspection must follow the label and information notice.

When comparing models, consider:

• Garment type: trousers and chaps provide different coverage, dressing times and adjustment methods;
• Protected area: the position of the cut-resistant material must suit the task and the manufacturer's instructions;
• Fit: the size, waistband, braces or fastening systems should keep the garment stable in different working positions;
• Condition of the inserts: cuts, tears, alterations or unauthorised repairs may require replacement in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

Cofra protective safety shoes and boots cover requirements ranging from impact and compression risks to penetration, slipping and, on specific models, chainsaw cutting. The configuration varies according to the declared purpose: the toe cap, midsole, tread, upper and boot height all contribute to overall performance. For forestry work, users should select footwear specifically certified for resistance to chainsaw cutting, checking the standard and level shown on the product page. A dedicated COFRA model may feature a cut-resistant upper, a toe cap resistant to 200 J and a non-metallic midsole; these features should not be assumed to apply to the entire range. The fit, ankle support and outsole grip should suit the terrain and working posture. The correct size leaves sufficient room for the toes without allowing excessive movement inside the footwear.

Before purchasing, check:

• Declared protection: the codes, standard and level shown on the product page identify the risks covered by the individual model;
• Toe cap and midsole: where fitted, these components respectively address impact or compression and penetration risks;
• Outsole: the tread pattern, material and declared performance should suit the ground and working conditions;
• Fit: the size, internal shape and ankle support affect stability when walking, working in a stationary position and moving over uneven ground.

Buy Cofra safety workwear from AgriEuro now and choose the protection best suited to the work to be carried out.

Selection should begin with the risks associated with the task, rather than the type of garment alone. Users should check which parts of the body are exposed, the tools involved, the environment, the duration of the work and the standards shown in the technical specifications. The size and fit should keep the protective sections in their intended position without restricting movement. For professional work, PPE selection must be linked to the risk assessment and company procedures.

Workwear may provide practicality, visibility and resistance to wear, but not every garment protects against a specific risk. A garment classified as PPE carries a marking, reference standard, level or class where applicable, and the manufacturer's instructions. The documentation for the individual product must therefore be checked before purchase, without assuming its protective properties from its appearance or the apparent strength of the fabric.

A cut-resistant jacket is suitable when the assessment of the activity identifies a risk to the torso and upper limbs. It may be relevant during forestry work, tree work at height or operations where the position and path of the tool expose the upper body. It complements rather than replaces the other required PPE. The protected area, standard and performance must be checked on the individual product page.

The choice depends on the required coverage, frequency of use and working method. Trousers integrate protection into a complete garment and are suitable for continuous sessions; chaps are worn over compatible clothing and may be practical for limited tasks. In both cases, the protected area, size, fastening systems and declared performance should be checked, as the two solutions should not automatically be considered equivalent.

The correct size should follow the manufacturer's size chart and the user's actual body measurements, taking account of layers worn beneath the PPE. The garment should neither compress the body nor create excess fabric that could catch or displace the inserts. Freedom of movement should be checked in positions typical of the task, such as bending, crouching and raising the arms, with all fastenings and adjustments correctly secured.

Washing must follow the label and information notice for the individual model. Temperature, programme, detergent, drying method and permitted number of cycles may affect garment performance. Unauthorised treatments, alterations or repairs should not be applied. After washing, the fabric, seams, fastenings and protective areas should be inspected before the PPE is returned to service.

The garment should be withdrawn from service if it has damage that may compromise protection or if it meets the replacement criteria specified by the manufacturer. Cuts, tears, deep abrasion, altered inserts, open seams or contamination require careful inspection. Following contact with a chainsaw, the garment should not continue to be used unless the manufacturer's specific instructions have been followed.

No. Standard safety footwear does not automatically provide protection against chainsaw cutting. This risk requires a model specifically designed and certified according to the standard shown in the product documentation, with the relevant level where applicable. Toe caps and penetration-resistant midsoles protect against different risks and do not replace dedicated cut protection.

Users should check the risks covered, marking, toe cap, midsole, outsole features, upper height and fit. Ankle support, grip and specific chainsaw protection, where required, are also relevant on forestry terrain. The product page identifies the features actually included on the model. The size should stabilise the foot without compressing the toes or instep.

No. Cut-resistant PPE reduces exposure within its intended conditions and performance limits, but it does not make the operator immune to injury. It must be selected correctly, worn according to the instructions, kept intact and combined with all other required PPE. Training, correct working techniques, equipment maintenance and compliance with safety distances remain indispensable parts of prevention.
