Material and Co-brands D3O® D3O® smart materials
specialize in impact protection 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-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 vapor. This prevents water from penetrating, while it aids your body’s natural cooling process by allowing perspiration vapor to escape. Special GORE-SEAM® tape ensures that all seams are durably waterproof.
