Hello,

I wanted to know what lead most people wear/recommend? I heard infab is great but the one I received was very heavy. I wanted a light one with good protection and wanted to know what everyone suggest? Thank you

I have a two piece wrap around from barrington.
I like the two piece because my xray guy keeps shooting pictures while my back is turned. I wear it all day and most of the weight is on my hips rather than back and shoulders.

I have a two-piece front/back cover Infab one. Very happy with it.

Agree with myrandom2003 that having the weight on the hips is a lifesaver.

Hospital based so we just use whatever isn't taken by the real doctors, but in the ASC I work at they had us get these tailored ones that are great until I gain weight.

Can you share the link to which one? I have a two piece from them and its extremely heavy, not sure if I ordered it wrong or if you can share your specs please. Thank you

with the 2 piece, doesnt your scrub pants get pulled down??

I just got the infab skirt/vest ultra light- It is the best I have had- it is so dang light and moves well. I do wonder how much radiation it stops, but I am not glowing yet. I have never been "depantsed" by 2 piece either. It is so much easier on the back.

You're supposed to wrap it snugly around your waist, not your hips.

If your waist is considerably larger than your hip diameter....cinch tighter?
