DON’T COMPROMISE PROTECTION FOR PERFORMANCE
Get Both with Performance-Flex from RefrigiWear
When you work a physically demanding job, you want gear that protects but also doesn’t get in the way of high performance. Protective gear for cold, harsh environments often feels bulky due to the insulation needed for adequate protection from cold temperatures. So, what do you do when you feel your performance might be hindered by the gear you need to stay in these conditions for a 10+ hour shift? Often a decision needs to be made – do you sacrifice performance for total protection, or do you sacrifice protection for better performance?
Luckily, you don’t have to compromise. Get protection and performance in workwear with RefrigiWear’s proprietary Performance-Flex features.
How Performance-Flex Helps Productivity
Performance-Flex is an expandable, ribbed design that covers key flex points like knees and elbow to allow more freedom of movement in insulated workwear. The ribbed design of the fabric makes it stretchy and durable, so you don’t have to worry about it wearing down with use.
Often with protective apparel, the garments are tight, so movement is hindered. Performance-Flex makes reaching for objects, kneeling, and many other movements easier and more natural while still protecting you from the cold. The result is more range of motion and better performance in a variety of working conditions that require more movement.
The unique, ribbed design stretches and expands as you work. Then, it shrinks back to its original shape and size, maintaining a perfect fit.
Shop Performance-Flex
Performance-Flex panels are currently available on several products in our PolarForce®, Frostline® and 54 Gold Collections. You’ll also find it on products like our Extreme Hooded Jacket and Women’s Diamond Quilted Bib Overalls. It isn’t just your body that needs flexibility, which is why you’ll find Performance-Flex on gloves too, like our Extreme Ultra Grip Glove.
Performance-Flex allows your employees to be both protected and productive – without compromise. For advice on selecting the right Performance-Flex workwear for your team, please contact RefrigiWear customer service.
