Innovation
- These uniforms are developed with carefully selected fabrics and ergonomic design to meet workers’ thermal and biomechanical needs.
- The set includes coat, jacket, and pants, offering breathability, waterproofing, comfort, visibility, durability and cost‑effectiveness.
Key impact
- Waterproof, breathable fabrics with ergonomic cuts support thermoregulation, while reflective and chromatic elements further increase visibility.
- Designed for rainy seasons, they deliver physiological protection and psychological comfort.
Application
- High-performance sportswear technologies are applied to create functional uniforms. Materials are tested for physical properties to ensure high visibility, rain protection, and breathability in diverse working environments.
