In this article we will look together at the answers to the most frequently asked questions!

WHICH WORKWEAR IS BEST TO CHOOSE?

Many people ask us first of all where you can buy U-Power products: very easy! Just search here on our site for the dealer closest to you, among the many outlets all over Italy.

Another very frequent question is which fabric is best for cold weather, a problem, rightly, that professionals working outdoors feel a lot.
In our catalog you will find many workwear garments suitable for cold weather, and the best fabrics for this type of condition are the Soft Shell, with its 3 protective layers, and the soft and warm Thermolite® lining. You can find all the information about materials for professional clothing, including rain protection, on the Clothing Technology section of our site.

With the arrival of warm weather, those who work in situations where high-visibility clothing is needed often ask us whether it is better to wear a high-visibility vest or a high-visibility fleece. There is actually no difference from the point of view of maximum safety, which is achieved by wearing two garments from our Hi Light range/assortment. So you can combine the high-visibility pants with either a vest or a fleece depending on your comfort and the type of work you are doing.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF SAFETY SHOES?

Work safety shoes are important to ensure foot safety and protection and prevent falls, but if they are uncomfortable they make our work days worse. Work shoes are so important to the quality of our days that many people ask us when we need to replace a safety shoe.

The answer, in general, is that it should be replaced every six months and even sooner if it has been damaged in some way, as we explained in an article some time ago.

Another question we are often asked is: can safety shoes be washed? Surely we need to take care of our work shoes, and unless it says otherwise on the labels, you cannot machine wash a safety shoe.

Instead, it is very important to brush them, clean them with damp cloths and let them get some aria by slipping off the footbeds, away from heat sources such as radiators or stoves and from the sun's rays. To know how to take care of work shoes, we refer you to the article already published.

WHAT TO DO TO KEEP WORK CLOTHES IN GOOD CONDITION?

Professional garments certainly need special care to be kept in good condition. Starting, for example, with washing.

Many people ask us how work clothes can be washed, and here we need to distinguish between two cases: when the worker comes into contact with harmful substances (harmful dusts, aggressive chemicals, hazardous biological sales reps) and when he or she does not. In the first case, the washing of work clothes should be done by the employer in an industrial way, with specific detergents and following special procedures.

In the second case, on the other hand, we can wash professional clothes at home, following the directions on the label. An extra tip? It is usually always better to pre-treat stains and wash work clothes separately from others to prevent the latter from being ruined.

What to do, on the other hand, if the work pants tear at the knees? Well, here there is little to do but replace them, because unfortunately you can't do patching and mending. Next time, though, you can buy a professional work pants with knee reinforcement by choosing from the many in the U-Power catalog.

Finally, a question aboutstretch workwear: is it true that it deforms over time? Certainly a stretch fabric is more taut than a normal one and therefore there is a risk that it will deform sooner, but it all depends on its quality and we at U-Power can always guarantee you the highest quality of all our professional fabrics!
