U-Power

Low safety shoes are light, with a breathable upper, and suit people who walk a lot on flat floors, in a warehouse or workshop. High safety boots also protect the ankle and are more suitable for building sites and uneven ground. The choice depends on the ground surface, the time spent on your feet and the risk present. For safety footwear the reference is the EN ISO 20345 standard, to be checked on the marking.

U-Power flame-retardant jackets and trousers, such as the Survivor, Armor and Ramrod lines, protect against short-duration exposure to flames and heat. They must be chosen according to the real risk, not just the colour or the cut. For protection against heat and flame the reference is the EN ISO 11612 standard, with the marking shown on the label. The garments must be washed according to the manufacturer's instructions, because incorrect washing can reduce their protection.

Multi-risk high visibility indicates a garment that combines visibility with other protections, such as the Eryon waistcoat or the Nebris jacket. For high visibility the reference is the EN ISO 20471 standard, which defines the class and colour of fluorescent and retroreflective materials. The level of protection depends on the class shown on the label. Choose the garment according to the setting in which you work, such as road, building site or warehouse.

For cold weather there are work parkas such as the Nordlux model and the Freeway 5-in-1 parka, which combine several layers. For the mid-season, softshell jackets such as Wonder and Onyx are used, which are breathable and light. The Nebris shell jacket is designed for shelter from the wind. Choose according to the temperature, the movement required and the time spent outdoors, adjusting the layers during the day.

The Arc summer trousers are designed for hot days, with a lighter fabric. The Fulgor 4-season model covers much of the year and can be worn with a layer underneath. The Forged and Ramrod trousers are for more demanding daily use. The Romeo stretch jeans offer freedom of movement. Choose according to the temperature, the type of work and the fit.

The U-Power SLICKER work glove is used for manual operations in the workshop, in the warehouse or in production. For the choice, the EN 388 standard matters, which indicates resistance to abrasion, cuts, tearing and puncture, with the codes shown on the marking. The material must be chosen according to the grip required and the risk. Check the size, because a glove that is too loose can get caught in machinery.

Flame-retardant and high-visibility garments must be washed following the manufacturer's label, with the programme and temperature indicated. Avoid fabric softener and bleach, which can reduce protection or visibility. Do not iron the retroreflective parts. When garments wear out, get damaged or lose visibility, they must be replaced.
