For decades we have been used to moving around the world, reaching even the most remote corners of the planet to forge professional and trusting relationships with different players. However, this year we have decided not to go too far and to land in Tuscany to collaborate with a reality that, at least at first glance, seems to have no point in common with Kapriol. We are talking about the "Le Rogaie" farm which, in the splendid setting of the Maremma, near Grosseto, works in close contact with the earth and nature. The main activity of "Le Rogaie" is the breeding of dairy cows, but it also deals with crops, above all that of olive trees. Tasks narrated and explained on social channels, with videos and posts where love for the land exudes but also the commitment that such a job entails, making it rediscover or get to know for the first time. And it is precisely in the activities that the farm carries out every day that we will insert ourselves, making Kapriol-branded clothing, tools and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) available for all those who undertake to carry it forward with good will, commitment and dedication. But what do a world linked to the environment like that of "Le Rogaie" has in common with the building context in which Kapriol operates? Many and small aspects, starting from the relationship with the roots, shared and told daily through actions and choices, emphasized even more by being both family-run businesses, linked to their history. With respect to the products offered, both we and "Le Rogaie" put quality first, not only in what we produce but also in the authentic relationships we form, whether they are with customers or with nature and animals. However, having solid roots does not make us give up dreaming of the future and making it more and more present every moment that passes, putting into play passion and a great desire to innovate and progress to reach new goals. In this, the Kapriol family and that of "Le Rogaie" are very similar. In the midst of this horizon, Kapriol and Le Rogaie see the word 'green' stand out. Doing business while respecting the environment will become an indispensable practice to ensure the survival of the planet. "Le Rogaie" fully expresses the intention of safeguarding the environment, moving in full respect of the context that surrounds it. Like Kapriol, we have also embarked on this journey by joining the Treedom project, but the collaboration with the farm represents a further step in continuing on this path and creating a better future. Let us not forget that man is an integrated part of this change, both positively and negatively: it is he who interacts directly with the environment, whether he has regard for it or not. By deciding to accompany "Le Rogaie" in the daily toil, dressing and equipping the workers, we choose to embrace a larger and more universal ethical cause, supporting a reality that takes care of the land, plants and animals and does not exploit them intensively to produce raw materials. Sustainability, as well as through the production process, can also pass through other ways, such as human and collaborative relationships. Now, thanks to the new partnership with Le Rogaie, Kapriol orange shades will appear among the Maremma earth colours.
TROPIC, technical trousers with certified UV protection
24 July 2025
We know that prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays poses a risk to skin health, and those who regularly work outdoors are particularly susceptible. To mitigate this risk, it is essential to use personal protective equipment (PPE) that includes technical clothing with certified shielding properties. For this reason, Kapriol has decided to add the new TROPIC trousers with UPF50+ protection to its product range. Let's take a closer look at what we are talking about: UV rays, in particular UVA and UVB components, are responsible for skin damage, which is why wearing protective clothing is the ideal choice. The effectiveness of a fabric against UV radiation is measured by the Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), according to international standards. A high UPF value indicates a greater ability of the fabric to block the penetration of UV rays. For example, trousers with UPF 50 guarantee effective protection even in conditions of intense and prolonged sun exposure, much like using a high protection sunscreen. Let's summarise the main features of the new TROPIC trousers, available in three colours: beige, grey and orange. High-density fabric and dense weave structure for UPF-certified UV protection for real protection. Optimised thermal comfort and breathability for prolonged use in hot environments. Ergonomic design to ensure freedom of movement. Ideal for road workers and construction sites, technicians and maintenance workers in outdoor environments, agricultural and forestry personnel, and recreational activities with high sun exposure. Protect your skin, wear Kapriol safety.
