We wore the bad gear for years.
Tecbro builds cold-weather workwear for the crews who can't wait out the winter — freezer floors, snow routes, tower climbs. Every detail in it started as a complaint we heard on a real shift.
A freezer floor, and gear that quit.
Tecbro started with a cold-storage crew lead in New York who was tired of buying coveralls twice — the cheap pair in November, the real pair in February, after the first one split at the seat.
He'd spent years in workwear that looked the part and failed by hour nine: seams that opened, hoods that blew off, leg zips so short you had to pull your boots to change. The complaints were always the same, shift after shift.
So in 2019 we started building the second coverall first — the one you'd have bought anyway — and selling it at a price the shift that needs it can actually afford.

Tested in the field, not the catalog.
Every Tecbro garment is built around three rules: warmth that lasts a season, mobility that doesn't quit when you bend, and sizing that fits people — not models.
We tested five regional shell weaves over two winters before settling on Korean nylon. We send each coverall for independent EN 342 and ASTM F1506 certification, and we publish the lab report on the product page. No marketing temperature ratings — measured ones.
Then we put pre-production runs on real crews and wait for the complaints. If something fails at hour nine, it doesn't ship.
Four things we don't compromise.
They sound simple. Holding to them is the whole job.
Measured, not marketed
Temperature ratings come from independent labs. If we say −50°F, a test report says it too — and it's on the product page.
Priced for the shift
Real workwear shouldn't cost a week's pay. We price below the legacy brands and ship from New York so you're not waiting.
Built to outlast
Brass rivets at twelve stress points, triple-stitched seams, a two-year quality promise. Gear you replace less is gear that costs less.
Made for real people
XS to 5XL on every style, made-to-measure when that isn't enough, and a 30-day fit guarantee so a wrong size is never your problem.
A human on the phone
Sizing questions, fleet quotes, exchanges — answered by a person in New York, not a ticket queue or a chatbot loop.
The work comes first
We give 25% back to essential workers and accessibility cardholders. The people who work the cold should pay less to stay warm.
From one coverall to a full kit
Tecbro starts in New York
The first Chill-Bloc® coverall ships — built from a cold-storage crew lead's two-winter list of complaints.
Independent certification
Every coverall is sent for EN 342 and ASTM F1506 testing. Lab reports go public on each product page.
The fleet program launches
NY DOT snow operations becomes the first crew on volume pricing, NET-30 billing, and size-range kits.
A full cold-weather range
Bibs, jackets, gloves, and headwear join the line — and the Pro discount opens for essential workers.
312 verified buyers and counting
Crews across NY, OH, MN, and beyond run Tecbro daily — and most reorder the same coverall.
