Bear Trades & Pyramex PPE
We’re proud to partner with Pyramex, whose commitment to safety, innovation, and respect for the trades align perfectly with our mission to educate and inspire kids about the importance of skilled workers and the tools they need to succeed.
Teaching Kids About PPE
The Working Dads series isn’t just about entertaining stories—it’s also a way to teach kids about the value of safety in hands-on work. The Working Dads often wear PPE in the books: from hard hats to safety glasses, the Working Dads model the PPE that protects workers every day.

Why Pyramex?
Pyramex is dedicated to creating high-quality, innovative PPE that keeps tradespeople safe while they focus on their essential work. Here’s why we love Pyramex:
- Shared Values: Like Bear Trades, Pyramex respects and celebrates the trades and those who work in them.
- Educational Focus: Their gear provides a perfect way to teach kids about safety in an engaging and relatable way.
- Cool Factor: Maybe it’s just us, but we think Pyramex has done an incredible job of turning something boring…plain gloves and vests, into awesome and innovative products that will make kids excited to wear PPE. When is the last time you saw a helmet, glasses and gloves that look this awesome??
