Ergodyne adds hi-vis summer solutions to Glowear® for cool and conspicuous comfort

Ergodyne
February 21, 2017

Ergodyne today added new products to its GloWear® Hi-Vis Apparel Line in preparation for summer outdoor work. These new garments provide ANSI-compliant visibility to prevent struck-by accidents and are packed with features to help workers beat the heat.

“These new products continue to set GloWear® apart,” said Andy Olson, product director, Ergodyne. “From the lightweight breathability of 3M™ Scotchlite™’s segmented Comfort Trim™ reflective material to smart, innovative details such as reflective binding to further enhance nighttime visibility beyond standard compliance, we’re excited to offer these new hi-vis solutions.”

New GloWear® products include:

  • 8216BA Type R Class 2 Breakaway Mesh Vest w/ ID Badge Holder
  • 8246Z Type R Class 2 Two-Tone Mesh Vest w/ Reflective Binding
  • 8253HDZ Type R Class 2 Heavy-Duty Mesh Surveyors Vest
  • 8280BK Type R Class 2 Black Front Performance T-Shirt
  • 8281BK Type R Class 2 Black Front Performance Long Sleeve T-Shirt
  • 8005 Hi-Vis Mesh Neck Shade w/ Reflective

Each item is made of as an ANSI-compliant polyester breathable knit for heat stress management along with other unique features. The 8216BA’s breakaway design prevents entanglement; the 8246Z has reflective binding for improved nighttime visibility; the heavy-duty 8253HDZ has webbing reinforcements and ample storage; the black fronts and accents of the 8280BK and 8281BK hide dirt and wear; and the 8005 keeps sun off the neck without trapping heat. See full product features and benefits below.

“For over a decade, GloWear® has been keeping workers safe and seen on the job,” said Tom Votel, president & CEO, Ergodyne. “We strive to innovate in both design and materials, and this new collection of vests, shirts and accessories built specifically for summer is no exception.”
