GlenGuard FR/AR (Twill 5.2oz / 176gsm) 

Reducing the risk of heat stress is not just a matter of safety, but also of worker compliance. When the risk of heat stress is too high, workers tend to cheat and wear garments non-compliantly or may not just wear them at all.

When it comes to the battle against heat stress and FR/AR PPE, there are four main pillars to consider - lightweight, breathable, moisture wicking and minimal dry time. At GlenGuard, they look at how these elements work together to form a performance fabric for the battle against heat stress.

Wickzz™ Technology

Perspiration happens. And when it does, GenGuard's Wickzz™ Moisture Management System™ solves the problem. GlenGuard's technology wicks moisture away from the skin and then disperses the moisture across the fabric, allowing it to quickly evaporate and dry.
