Through our deep understanding of wearers' requirements, we tailor our high-value fabrics to their specific needs, with the conditions of their work environments in mind. To achieve this, we analyse the interaction between wearers, their environment and their protective clothing, including factors such as: the physical activity of wearers and duration of activity; heat balance/ perspiration; material specifications and the design of the garment; environmental factors such as heat, damp, cold, wet. In doing so, we provide dependable protection and products comfortable to wear, even in challenging circumstances. Or, in other words, we do our utmost to make sure our products perform as promised.
