Workwear: all the latest from U‑Power

Workwear is for all intents and purposes personal protective equipment and should be considered an indispensable part of the worker's protection and safeguard against the risks of accidents at work.
Of course, the type of clothing depends on the nature of the work performed, the occupation and the work environment itself. But what is beyond doubt is that, whatever the task at hand, workwear must enable the worker to perform his or her job efficiently while ensuring serenity, protection and comfort.

If accident-prevention clothing is chosen consciously, it can help us limit our efforts and help save energy, which translates into greater efficiency and alertness, quicker reaction and thus, greater psychological peace of mind that manifests as well-being.

But what differentiates everyday clothing from workwear?

Let's see together what the differences are.

1. PROFESSIONAL WORKWEAR VS LEISUREWEAR: DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!




2. U-POWER WORKWEAR: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND QUALITY MATERIALS COME FIRST




3. COMBINED TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING WITH MAXIMUM PROTECTION FROM THE VENTO AND COLD

Let's see together what the differences are between workwear, leisurewear, and U-POWER novelties.

PROFESSIONAL WORKWEAR VS LEISUREWEAR: DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

One of the prime characteristics that differentiate workwear from leisurewear is functionality. If we look at a traditional pant we will see that it will certainly not have all the pockets of a work pants (just to give an example). And certainly, since they are not designed to accompany the typical movements of a work activity, they will not have theelasticity of those designed for work.

Let's take some concrete examples:

Let's take the world pant from the brand new Future range/assortment as a style.
This pant is totally made of U-Power 4 ways stretch fabric, a highly elastic fabric that is able to move in four different directions at once.

The special elasticity and ability to accommodate every slightest movement ensures absolutely unique comfort and freedom of movement.
In addition, it is very comfortable and resistant to tearing and wear.

Attention to the problems of the worker is denoted by the small details, such as the accentuated back yoke for greater protection of the lumbar region and the numerous pockets: side, back and front.

Speaking of the back pockets, those who use safety pants know how difficult it can be to use them when wearing afall arrest harness or heavy jacket, because pocket entry is obstructed and it is necessary to lift the edge of the jacket or move theharness to reach it with the hand.

U-POWER, on the other hand, has devised a pocket cut that allows hand access from the side, increasing the pocket's capacity by means of a gusset.

A little attention that makes a big difference when you are focused on work and need tools, tools always at hand!

U-POWER WORKWEAR: ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND QUALITY OF MATERIALS IN FIRST PLACE

Having talked about work pants and the details that make a difference, let's now talk about upper body clothing; let's talk about work jackets and vests that, basically, must allow the worker to stay warm, in a healthy microclimate that ensures normal perspiration and ease of movement of the arms and shoulders.

Here again, the materials used are very important: a heavy, stiff fabric will be cumbersome and hinder movement; a structure that is unable to maintain heat will put one in a position to work poorly and with difficulty.

If, however, high-tech materials are used, the jacket will be warm and light at the same time.

This is the case with Softshell fabric, which consists of three different layers overlapping to create a unique combination: water-repellent outer polyester, waterproof, breathable and windproof TPU membrane and, on the inside, a soft microfleece.

A fabric perfect for work but also for leisure!

So here it is, the custom-made range/assortment - Softshell by U-POWER - designed not only to meet work needs but also ideal for leisure.

And, of course, the base material - in this case, Softshell fabric - can be combined with additional technologies that offer greater protections such as, for example:

• Keep Dry

  
  

  A newly developed membrane that provides wind protection, water proofing and breathability.

  
  



• Cordura®

  
  

  The high-tech fabric that provides abrasion resistance, tear, tear and perforation resistance while remaining extremely lightweight.

  
  



• U-Tex

  
  

  A stretch TPU membrane that moves in four directions and is ultra-thin, ultra-lightweight, waterproof, breathable and resistant to oils and greases.

The Softshell/U-Tex combination is offered by U-POWER in the Space style, a jacket packed with work-conscious details, such as the drawstring anti-wear with adjustment inside the pocket.

Did you know that one of the most frequent cases of workplace accidents is due to entanglement?

Moving the waist fit adjustment inside the pocket effectively eliminates this risk, putting the worker in safety.

Small touches that make a big difference and determine functionality and safety at work, and of which U-POWER is an ambassador, in its workwear ranges/assortments as well as for safety footwear.

COMBINED TECHNOLOGIES FOR PROFESSIONAL CLOTHING WITH MAXIMUM PROTECTION FROM THE VENTO AND COLD

When temperatures get milder but you still need protection from the vento and cold, the vest is the ideal solution.

U-POWER offers you ten different styles with varying degrees of protection from cold and vento but all with the same focus on functionality, fit, and practicality in maintenance.

One example?

The very comfortable and durable Universe style in soft and warm Softshell with U-Tex membrane.
A four-season style with reflex inserts to ensure maximum visibility.

Quality materials, then! And functionality. But without forgetting the Workplace Safety Regulation/standard!

It is very important to read the label on the work garment, which must contain all the information necessary to understand if the garment we are interested in turns out to be compliant with our needs and the provisions of the European Regulation/standard.

On the U-POWER website, you can find all the necessary information both in reference to the materials and the technologies used by the Brand.

For each proposed item, you will always find highlighted the peculiar and particular characteristics of the product, including references to the tests carried out (icons at the bottom of the product page) because knowledge is the prime step towards a conscious choice and a suitable and most appropriate purchase.

U-POWER, always by the worker's side.
