ProtecWork
A collection built on years of
experience protecting professionals.
ProtecWork is a collection of protective wear that combines
expert know-how of heat and flame protection with Snickers
Workwear’s renowned ergonomics and fit. In order to offer the
best heat and flame-retardant garments, Snickers Workwear
has acquired a leading brand on the Swedish market that
boasts over 20 years’ experience designing and developing
protective wear for the energy and railway sectors. The result is
a cutting-edge collection that offers inherent heat and flame
protection, excellent durability, great comfort and an
ergonomic, modern fit.
Developed in
close partnership with
professionals.
Our protective wear is the result of
a long and successful partnership
with professionals working in the
energy and railway sectors. They’re
the ones working in high-risk environments,
and the only ones who truly
know how protective wear is used
and functions in the real world. This
close partnership has resulted in
several innovative features, such as
symmetrical leg pockets and Du-
PontKevlar® reinforced pockets.
Protective wear
vs workwear.
– a matter of life and death. There’s a
big difference between workwear
and protective wear. Workwear exists
to make your working day more
comfortable and efficient, with handy
features for tools and other necessities,
as well as protection against cold
and rain. Protective wear, on the other
hand, exists to protect the wearer
from serious risks such as heat,
flames, electric arcs and hazardous
chemicals, or to protect the product
from the wearer (against dust, dirt or
electrostatic charge).
Layer up to increase
your protection.
One of the best ways to improve your
level of protection is to wear layers
(all layers/garments must of course
be certified and flame retardant). The
main benefit of wearing layers is that
the air gap formed between different
garments provides increased
protection. There is no general rating
for how much increased protection
the air gap between layers provides,
although we have conducted a
number of tests that show that the air
gap increases protection by more
than 5 cal/cm 2 .
Standards and
requirements dictate
our design.
Our product development always
starts with the item’s intended use
and the task at hand. What are the
risks in the work environment? What
do the standards require? And what
does the wearer need in order to
perform optimally? Working based on
these facts and requirements, and by
conducting thorough tests throughout
the entire process, we can
develop functional, comfortable and
above all safe Personal Protective
Equipment.
