The Pioneers of Protective Equipment

The Pioneer brand was established in Vancouver in 1887, the year the first Trans-Canada train arrived. Pioneer grew through the 1890’s supplying outdoor protective clothing and gear to sourdough prospectors heading up the Chilkoot pass to the Klondike gold fields in the Yukon. That growth has continued well into the 21st century.

• For over 135 years, Pioneer has been designing high-quality, durable outerwear, workwear and personal protective gear inspired by Canadians who need to keep safe, dry and comfortable in all weather extremes.


• Pioneer provides the best equipment to make sure everyone on site and in the field stays safe.


• Pioneer safety clothing helps employers meet safety regulations and protect their workers from accidents and injuries.
