BRAND MATERIALS

PRO TEC

PRO TEC VENTAIR X

Pro Tec™ are the materials that afford effective protection against exterior effects . They are very resistant to wear and to tearing . Pro Tec™ is suited to extremely strenuous work in rough environments .
VENT AIR ® is wind and waterproof with breathability . VENT AIR ® keeps the body dry and cool while protecting against the forces of weather . The material consists of threecomponent high-tech weave , a functional material with a coating on the inside and a water-repellent treatment on the outside .

THINSULATE YKK

Thinsulate insulation works by trapping air molecules between you and the outside . The more air a material traps in a given space , the greater its insulating value . Because the micro fibers in Thinsulate insulation are far finer than other fibers , they trap more air in less space , which naturally makes it a better insulator . So we haven ’ t repealed the laws of nature with our thin insulation ; we ’ ve simply obeyed them better – to your advantage .
YKK is a market-leading brand in zippers . The products are of high quality and set the standard for other players in the market .

3M SPUN DYED

3M Scotchlite™ person reflex material makes you extra visible when it ’ s dark and the view is bad . The material reflects bright white when it ’ s lit up by the headlights of a vehicle , also when the wearer stands beside the road . 3M Scotchlite reflex material for protective garments exceeds the highest reflex category of the European standards for reflective protective garments , EN471 , as well as all strict , standardised tests .
Using the traditional dyeing method , the finished fabric is dipped in a dye bath , before being rinsed and then dried . With the spun dyed process , the colour pigment is added before the fibre is spun and the fabric subsequently woven / knitted . In this way the colour becomes part of the fibre . The woven / knitted fabric achieves much better colour fastness , making it better able to withstand washing , wearing , sunlight and bleaching .
