How to choose from the many pieces of U-Power workwear?
U-Power is always very happy to say that its product range is wide and meets many different needs, offering workwear and safety shoes with features suitable for different situations and different types of work.
We do understand, however, that it is sometimes difficult to choose between two of our products of the same type, and today we really want to give an example of choosing between two pairs of work pants from two of our ranges: the MERCURY style from the Future line and the START style from the U-Supremacy line.
Each product in the U-Power lines is a concentrate of technology. In fact, we perform a lot of research to find the best systems and always give you safety and comfort in each of our workwear or professional safety footwear.
In this article, we will talk to you precisely about how you can choose between two similar products, such as the two work shorts MERCURY and START, just by seeing what their main technological features are.
Let's analyze these two U-Power styles together.

MERCURY professional work shorts are made of U-4, or U-Power 4 way stretch, a technical fabric with very special features, which we selected after careful research. It is, in fact, a fabric that, thanks to its composition, is stretchy in all four directions and is therefore very comfortable and soft on the skin. It is also water-repellent and breathable, to be practical in all weather, and has good resistance.
The cut of the MERCURY work pants, moreover, is designed to give craftsmen, professionals and workers of various kinds security and practicality. The back yoke is more pronounced than normal and better protects the lower back, while the many tool, multifunction and badge pockets make them especially practical for work.
U-Power recommends the MERCURY bermuda shorts for agricultural and gardening work, as well as for the construction andbuilding sectors. In reality, however, we can say that this style, thanks to its special technical stretch fabric, is very suitable for all work where a lot of freedom of movement is needed.
Let's now take a look at the features of START work pants that are part of U-Power's U-Supremacy range/assortment. First of all, we can see that it is a very robust pant, with many "strategic" parts made of Cordura®, a high-tech fabric designed to achieve maximum abrasion resistance, tear and perforation resistance, and other areas reinforced with a specific anti-abrasive fabric, particularly in the areas of maximum contact.
In addition, START has triple stitching and reinforcement supports for Velcro areas, for added strength in all conditions. It is also a very practical professional Bermuda shorts to use because of the different pockets, such as the removable fly pocket, the invisible fly pocket, the side tool pocket, not forgetting the adjustable hammer holder and the key holder webbing.
A style, in short, made to be extremely durable and practical for those who have to work on construction sites, outdoors or indoors. U-Power particularly recommends START Bermuda shorts for carpenters, electricians, installers, plumbers and mechanics, and for all those professions where it is important to have a trouser that is both sturdy and comfortable.

When it comes to work clothes, as well as when it comes to safety shoes, we should never give in to the temptation to rely on chance, the generic advice of some colleague or pure aesthetic taste. What we wear when we carry out our profession protects us from hazards at work and has a decisive influence on our comfort and health, especially in the long run.
For this reason, we at U-Power advise you to choose well what to wear when you work, doing so based on the specific technical characteristics of different garments and the level of protection they provide.
If we take the example of the two work bermudas we mentioned in this article, the MERCURYandthe START style, we can see exactly what we mean.
MERCURY is made of U-4, a next-generation technical stretch fabric, while START is made of abrasion-resistant fabrics and Cordura® inserts that provide exceptional strength and resistance to cuts and punctures.
Based on these two different types of fabric and the other features we have seen above, we can say that MERCURY is the best choice for those who need maximum freedom of action and movement in their work and who do not have strong risks of tears or abrasions in the leg area.
START, on the other hand, is an excellent choice when you need to provide maximum protection to the leg and lower back area, with a pant that exceptionally resists tears, cuts and abrasions of various kinds.
Now the choice is up to you, based on your work and experience with the risks you take and the best features for your specific area.
