Technical workwear: quality, comfort and design

Research & development have made great strides in recent years, and many innovative technologies have also found an outlet in the field of clothing, such as graphene.

Knowingthe advantages of new technologies allows you to consciously choose your work clothes to improve comfort and performance.

Wearing technical pants with a design that meets the needs of those at work, not having to worry about excessive sweating thanks to T-shirts that can counteract excess heat, or wearing a thermoregulating vest that not only allows maximum freedom of movement but also ensures an ideal and constant body temperature, can make a big difference in your workday.

We discuss this with Dr. Michele Montagna.

How can technical workwear affect performance and perceived well-being?

U-Power is constantly striving to find innovative materials that can improve worker comfort and consequently worker safety, which is why it subjects its work shoes and workwear to additional testing for performance and performance.

Dr. Michele Montagna - Kinesiologist and Posturologist, Certified Occupational Health and Safety Trainer, Expert in Prevention of Occupational Musculoskeletal Disorders and Expert in Work Ergonomics - tested for us theHarmony stretch pants and theWall Work Vest .

Let's see what the ideal summer workwear looks like in U-Power Total Look.

HARMONY: COMFORTABLE SUMMER WORK PANTS

Workwear is essential for worker safety.

In addition to the protective and safety features required of PPE, it is important to consider that clothing that is not classified as personal protective equipment also affects our perception of well-being.

The worker who feels comfortable in the clothes he or she wears is a person who has better cognition and concentration on what he or she is doing, resulting in a lower risk of workplace hazards and accidents and higher performance.

Work pants are definitely one of the most important pieces of clothing, especially for those who are required to assume special positions, squatting or kneeling, such asplumbers orelectricians.

Aspects to consider are definitely theergonomics and design, the fabric and the presence of pockets to have tools at hand when needed.

Harmony is the summer work pants from the U-Supremacy range/assortment, U-Power 's most technologically advanced clothing line.It is made of U-4 Way Stretch fabric, a stretch fabric with a comfortable fit that is ideal when incongruous and impractical postures are taken during the workday and handling loads.

The fabric used is designed to accompany the worker throughout the day: standing, sitting and in even the most difficult labor positions because the weave follows the body's movements.

This means that the pants support freedom of movement without annoying interference. Harmony 's semi-elastic properties allow for multi-directionality of the fabric, which is most noticeable at the lumbosacral, coxo-femoral and knee heights and converts to improved vascularization of muscles, connective bands, nerves and joints.

In addition, Harmony is a water-repellent, quick-drying and highly breathable work pants-an ideal combination that makes U-4 Way Stretch technology extremely useful when working on construction sites, in warehouses or in uncertain weather conditions.

The many pockets on the work pants are very well distributed and provide functionality and practicality for carrying all your tools and work items while leaving your hands free to work safely, while PPE knee pockets allow you to preserve your joints when you have to work in awkward positions.

The design of the pants is designed to provide greater protection for the lower back, with an accentuated back yoke and reflex tape on the back tubular loop that, thanks to its reflective capacity, ensures greater visibility while working, guaranteeing a higher degree of safety in cases of night work or poor visibility; and, to top it off, the wear-resistant heel counter on the bottom at the leg ensures greater durability of the garment.

These work pants, with a jogging fit, are ideal for the building and construction, logistics, mechanics and automotive industries, farmers and anyone looking for cutting-edge, technological workwear.

Let's now talk about workwear with graphene fabric and, in particular, theWall work vest .

WALL: WORK VEST WITH GRAPHENE PADDING PERFECT IN ALL SEASONS

Tests conducted by Dr. Michele Montagna on the Wall vest confirm the exceptional performance of graphene fabric.

Graphene is an extremely thin and light but very durable substance. It possesses numerous properties, such as the ability to dissipate heat when it is excessive and, at the same time, to keep warm if it is cold. In addition, it is antibacterial and antistatic, waterproof, nontoxic and hypoallergenic.

In fact, application to textiles creates a revolutionary fabric that, when used inworkwear, guarantees excellent performance.

U-Power employs graphene fabric in theWink winter jacket and, indeed, in theWall sleeveless vest , which, thanks to the thermoregulation properties of graphene, is ideal in all seasons.

We are talking about a multi-pocketed vest suitable for professional outdoor work activities that require dynamic or repeated efforts since it is:

• Water repellent;




• With bacteriostatic properties;




• Odor control;




• Breathable;




• Windproof;




• With high mechanical strength;




• Lightweight.

  
  

Wall is especially recommended for those who prefer to have free shoulders and arms for a feeling of greater freedom of movement, while still providing back and chest protection.

Graphene padding ensures high thermoregulation properties and allows heat to disperse when needed while maintaining an ideal microclimate on the body regardless of weather conditions, significantly improving perceived comfort.

Wall is a work vest with two zippered front pockets, a vertical zippered chest pocket, and an inside pocket with Velcro closure. Each zipper has an intuitive slider to promote a quicker grip, even when wearing work gloves.

The comfortable fit is enhanced by the presence of side inserts made of soft stretch Softshell, while the bottom and armholes are made of stretch fabric.

TheWall vest is ideal not only for workwear but also for those who like to get around in light, comfortable and space-saving clothing, even when you need to store it in your backpack, but which protects you from vento and cold.

Word of Michele Montagna!

U-Power, technology and quality at the service of the worker.
