Established in 1992, SNICKERS HOODIES OFFER COSY COMFORT Snickers hoodies have long been favourites among professional craftsmen and women - so the new range of knitted hoodies is bound to be a big hit. There’s a ‘Full Zip’ or ‘Over-Head’ option and they’re the ideal combina- tion with Snickers’ first and second layer undergarments and can comfortably be worn under a jacket on chilly days. With a contemporary design, four colour options and a double-lined hood for extra warmth, these hard- working hoodies are great for all trades on site. Made from a cosy, durable fabric for extra ruggedness, they’ve got an adjustable drawstring in the hood plus kangaroo handwarmer pockets at the front. They also feature an unmistaka- ble 3D-printed Snickers logo and are ideal for company profiling. www.snickersworkwear.co.uk originally manufacturing a range of protective gar- ments for various industries, the focus has always been to produce the most com- fortable, lightweight and fashionable products, which at the same time provide the best levels of hazard protection for use in high risk-industries and applica- tions including primary float glass production, process- ing, cutting, toughening and installation. Combining innovative design and market leading fabric technologies, Flexion Global can offer unique solutions to ensure the safe- ty of your workforce. In 2013 Flexion Glob- al introduced Dymacut & Dymaflex fabrics, which provide a combination of cut resistant fibres and the lightest, thinnest and most flexible finished material. At the same time these fabrics are capable of providing a level of cut resistance 5 times higher than the mini- mum requirement specified to meet EN388 cut level 5. The advantage of producing these soft, non-abrasive and lighter materials is an increase in wearer acceptance and re- duction of fatigue levels over extended periods of wear. All gloves and garments are washable without changing their shape or characteristic. Dymacut & Dymaflex are also highly breathable and cool to wear making them suitable for use in warmer conditions. The clothing range in- cludes T shirts, sweat shirts, polos and combat trousers and incorporates hi-vis and reflective options conform- ing to EN471 & GO/RT specifications. To complete the Flexion Global product range, a selection of specialist safety footwear has been devel- oped which conforms to the most demanding standards of slip, heat and cut resistance. The innovative product range is supported by the company’s own manufactur- ing and distribution facility in Portugal, and global dis- tribution centre in the UK, with in-house UK stock delivering the best service to customers both nationally and internationally. 01553 819 767 www.flexionglobal.com
