WORKWEAR

    It is tough to work in changing weather, and with dangerous conditions like liquid chemicals, flammable substances, heat, fire, and electric arc. Of course, there is protective workwear available – but traditionally that gear is heavy, bulky, absorbs liquids and is often too warm to wear during strenuous work. GORE-TEX footwear and garments with Gore fabrics provide maximum comfort combined with the highest protection level. High-visibility protective wear fulfills European safety standard EN ISO 20471.

    DESIGNED TO PROTECT

    PPE with Gore protective fabrics has been rigorously tested to ensure it performs and protects as intended in a range of scenarios.

    ELECTRIC UTILITIES

    Arc rated PPE needs to offer the highest level of protection for electric utilities workers against the daily thermal hazards of an electric arc, without weighing down workers with garment bulk. Garments need to be light to wear (when wet or dry), so they are able to be worn for long shifts, in changing temperatures, indoors and outdoors, and even during rain. PPE should allow for freedom of movement, high visibility and the ability to work in narrow environments.

    WEATHER PROTECTION

    Wearing the right protective gear in foul weather can make all the difference to job performance. GORE-TEX workwear features durable waterproof and windproof protection with high breathability: the fabric is engineered so that sweat vapour can escape, to avoid a build-up of heat and perspiration, and can also easily withstand high water pressure and severe mechanical stress over many years. With this level of comfort and protection, workers can focus on the job at hand and work for long periods outdoors in tough conditions.
