Question
Hi. I am looking to purchase a light weight, full protection X-ray lead that will also offer me the most freedom in movement. I am a nurse anesthetist so my exposure varies day by day and case by case. I am 51 and about 180lbs. Please offer your best opinion. Thank you!

Answer

The following options are ideal for the protection you require.  The skirt/vest apron may be a better option for you if you will be in procedures for extended periods of time wearing the garment; it also allows for a bit more "range of motion" due to the separation in top and bottom sections.
