According to CAGR market research released in December, 2017, one trend in the market is multiple functionalities of arc flash protection equipment. The latest trend in the market is safety equipment with multiple functionalities, i.e., apparel and safety equipment that are not only used for protection against arc flashes but other hazards as well. Vendors offer arc flash protection equipment with a combination of high visibility and flame-resistant (FR) capabilities, providing protection against multi-hazards.
In today’s world of increasingly distracted drivers, struck-by hazards know no season – they’re a year-round problem. That’s why Ergodyne introduced another innovation solution to its Foul Weather Gear Series today with the GloWear® 8388 Type R Class 3/2 Thermal Jacket Kit.
Radians’ Quilted Reversible 4-in-1 insulated Ripstop jacket provides superior, cross-seasonal comfort and weather protection. Radians’ RadWear® SJ510 is an ultra-lightweight and versatile jacket that reverses from dark, low-profile grey to a Class 3 Hi-Viz yellow jacket with reflective tape. The zippered sleeves can be easily removed converting the jacket into a Class 2 vest or a non-rated stylish quilted black vest, a popular wardrobe essential.
