D3O® D3O® smart materials specialise in impact pr
otection and shock absorption. Its unique patented polymer composites contains a chemically engineered dilatant as an energy absorber. The material’s molecules flow freely in standard conditions, but on impact, they lock together to absorb and disperse energy, before instantly returning to their flexible state. This unique characteristic provides enhanced impact protection, while providing versatile and flexible materials that can be manufactured for a host of impact protective applications. Note: D3O® does not ”go hard”. Snickers Workwear uses different D3O® material grades specially tuned for a wide range of temperatures that offer enhanced cushioning, long-term comfort and superior impact protection on key contact areas. Impact force GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Garments GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Products keep you comfortable and protected across a wide range of weather conditions and activities to maximise your performance. They are made with laminates that use a mix of surface and lining materials for 2- or 3-layer constructions. GORE® WINDSTOPPER® product technology is used to provide thermal insulation in colder temperatures where wind can add chill. One major advantage: garments are less bulky and can be worn indoors and outdoors. GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Fabrics offer maximum breathability, which help maintain the body’s core temperature. In wet conditions, GORE® WINDSTOPPER® Soft Shells offer rain resistance. GORE-TEX Garments GORE-TEX Technical Garments are extremely durable, waterproof and are guaranteed to keep you dry and comfortable – all day long. The GORE-TEX membrane has over 1.4 billion pores per square cm and the pores are 20.000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times bigger than a molecule of moisture vapour. This prevents water from penetrating, while it aids your body’s natural cooling process by allowing perspiration vapour to escape. Special GORE-SEAM® tape ensures that all seams are durably waterproof.
