RefrigiWear Expertise Delivers PPE to Meet High Expectations for Major Airline

3,000 crew members. Tough weather. No room for gear that falls short. See how RefrigiWear delivered dependable cold-weather protection at scale and earned the airline’s trust for what comes next.

THE CHALLENGE: FINDING RELIABLE GEAR

Rain. Sleet. Freezing wind. For ground crews working under the wing at a major international airline, rough weather comes with the territory. These teams keep aircraft ready and flights on schedule, even when the conditions won’t cooperate. They need gear that pulls its weight.

The airline struggled to find dependable outerwear. Its existing gear left crews exposed to the elements and made tough jobs even harder. Without reliable protection, workers faced challenges that threatened their comfort, safety and productivity.

These crews take pride in keeping passengers moving. They need outerwear that can stand up to the weather and work as hard as they do.

THE SOLUTION: REFRIGIWEAR INSULATED SOFTSHELL JACKET & BIB OVERALLS

RefrigiWear stepped in and got to work. Working with the airline’s preferred uniform provider, the team evaluated what crews needed and matched the gear to the job: Insulated Softshell Jacket and Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls, both comfort-rated to -20°F. Dependable warmth and freedom to move gave crews protection for demanding work in rough weather, with flexibility for changing conditions.

Outfitting 3,000 employees was a big job. RefrigiWear and the uniform provider moved quickly to get crews geared up and ready to work. With reliable protection in place, employees could focus on keeping aircraft ready and operations moving.

Backed by decades of experience protecting people who work in the cold, RefrigiWear gave the airline confidence in its crews’ gear. The airline needed a partner that could deliver warmth, durability and performance at scale. RefrigiWear delivered.
