Summer time can be a difficult time for those in high-risk jobs. In addition to the usual risks of the workplace, these professionals also have to deal with extreme temperatures, hot sun, and high humidity. Performance clothing from DRIFIRE can help. Here’s how:
1) Core body temperature regulation. Performance clothes from DRIFIRE wick moisture away from the skin up to four times faster than regular cotton. This is important in helping the skin function correctly. Your skin helps your body regulate its core temperature. When a film of cold sweat gathers on the skin, it is harder for the skin to regulate its temperature, and this can lead to life-threatening situations such as heat stroke and heat exhaustion, to name just two. Moisture wicking shirts help remove this sort of stressor from the skin so that the skin can work correctly in regulating your body temperature. This can keep you safer in high-heat or extreme conditions.
2) Flame resistance. DRIFIRE performance FR clothes provide superlative flame resistance protection because they are made from modacrylic, a fiber that has been in use since the 1940s. Modacrylic has been proven safe and is designed to be inherently flame resistant and does not fuse, drip, or melt into your skin when it is exposed to high heat or sparks. It meets or exceeds many safety standards and is designed to provide many years or protection.
3) Less moisture near the skin. In the summer, moisture on the skin can lead to rashes, skin irritation, and the growth of bacteria. Moisture wicking performance clothing from DRIFIRE keeps you comfortable and dry and therefore protects your skin.
