BOSTON, MA — ARX, the women-owned PPE company creating better-fitting protective equipment for women, today announced the launch of ARX Marketplace, a curated collection of personal protective equipment selected specifically with women in mind.What began with a better-fitting safety vest is now a full destination for women who work on jobsites and in other environments where PPE is required. ARX Marketplace brings together a growing range of essential protective equipment—including high-visibility apparel, outerwear, gloves, and other jobsite essentials—in one place.
“Women shouldn’t have to piece together their PPE from a dozen different places, or settle for equipment that wasn’t designed with them in mind,” said Kaitlin McCarthy, Co-Founder of ARX. “We started ARX because we knew there was a better way. The Marketplace lets us go beyond one product and curate the full PPE kit women actually need to do their jobs.”
PPE, Curated for Women
The ARX Marketplace is built around a simple premise: women deserve PPE that works for them, not just PPE that technically fits the requirement.
ARX evaluates products based on factors including fit, functionality, quality, comfort, durability, and design, creating a curated selection rather than another overwhelming catalog of generic workwear.
The Marketplace complements ARX’s own product line, including its signature ANSI/ISEA 107 Class 2 Type R women’s safety vest, while expanding the assortment to include products from carefully selected brands and manufacturers.
The result is a more streamlined way for women, and the companies that equip them, to find PPE appropriate for the jobsite.
Built From the Jobsite Up
ARX was founded by Kaitlin McCarthy and Hilary Gallin after seeing firsthand how poorly traditional PPE accommodates women. Their experience working in and around construction, combined with Gallin’s biomedical engineering background and own experience with ill-fitting PPE, led them to focus on a problem that had long been overlooked by the industry.
ARX’s approach is deliberately practical: improve the products women rely on every day while making the process of finding and purchasing PPE easier.
The company has already supplied women’s PPE to organizations, and women across the U.S. and internationally have used its products.
“ARX Marketplace is really the next step in our mission,” said Hilary Gallin, Co-Founder of ARX. “We don't believe women need a separate category of PPE just for the sake of being different. We believe they need PPE that actually considers how women work, move, and live.”
A New Standard for Women’s PPE
ARX Marketplace will continue to expand its assortment based on customer demand, with additional categories and products planned across apparel and protective equipment.
For employers, contractors, and individual customers, the Marketplace offers a single destination to discover PPE that has been thoughtfully selected for women—without sacrificing the safety standards required on the job.
