Volcano workers kitted out
June 1st 2010 Members of Iceland's
voluntary rescue service – Ice-
Sar - have been issued with
new operational PPE
manufactured with GORETEX
fabric to protect them as
they conduct operations in
response to the recent
volcanic eruptions.
The new garments have
been supplied by specialist
Swedish workwear
manufacturer, Taiga and are
specially designed to protect
rescue service volunteers in
one of the world's most
challenging environments.
Taiga worked closely with
Ice-Sar to develop a suit
comprising shell jacket and
trousers made of GORE-TEX
Pro Shell fabric and a jacket
and hat made of
WINDSTOPPER soft-shell
material. The suit is breathable
and provides maximum
protection against wind and
rain with a high degree of
comfort. More articles from W L Gore & Associates Ltd: |
