Rugged Cooling: Syzmik's workwear manages heat stress
In the Mallee we know a thing or two about heat so it’s good to know that Syzmik Workwear’s Rugged Cooling heat stress management range increases breathability by over 110% while also increasing tear strength by more than 70%.
Heat stress is not only uncomfortable but can result in serious injury or even death in extreme cases.
Under the workplace health and safety act 2011 (AS) it is the legal obligation of employers to put plans in place to mitigate the heat stress risk.
Syzmik Workwear’s Rugged Cooling range of works shirts and pants changes the way cool workwear is developed.
When Syzmik Workwear started to look for a better solution to heat stress they first had to understand the way the body cools itself which is primarily through the evaporation of sweat.
“So to aid the body in cooling, they set out to create a fabric that would increase breathability to not only keep the wearer cooler but also allow the body’s sweat to evaporate and dry quicker.”
So to aid the body in cooling, they set out to create a fabric that would increase breathability to not only keep the wearer cooler but also allow the body’s sweat to evaporate and dry quicker.
The fabric used is a 100% cotton, produced in a square weave construction that allows the maximum amount of air to pass through the fabric.
Added features like extensive mesh venting and vented tape increases the breathability of the range even further.
Syzmik Workwear then set out to make the fabric more durable and developed a ripstop construction in the fabric which uses thick reinforcing thread throughout to make the fabric stronger while not limiting the breathability.
The result of all this development is a range that is not only cooler and more comfortable but also actually stronger than traditional workwear.
