TROPIC, technical trousers with certified UV protection

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.

From the construction site to high altitudes: a helmet for every challenge
In the construction, industrial, and plant engineering sectors, a work helmet is not just a legal requirement, but the fine line between an unexpected event and maximum safety. On modern construction sites, where risks related to suspended loads, lateral impacts, or falls from height are a daily occurrence, wearing an excellent Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is essential. Kapriol's design was born precisely to overcome the old myth of the uncomfortable helmet, combining materials engineering with unprecedented comfort for the entire working day. The strength of the Kapriol offer lies in the ability to diversify structures according to the specific risk. Where maximum impact energy dissipation capacity is required, the helmets feature rigid shells designed to protect the cranium in a targeted manner, meeting the needs of those working on the ground, near electrical systems, or at high altitudes.

Dynamic 37.5 - The most advanced line for your profession and free time

From the “active particles” of volcanic origin the new 37.5® technology that increases comfort and improves performance.

Technology: wide field of research that studies the application and use of everything that can be functional to the solution of practical problems. And a practical problem that everyone faces in the various seasons is body temperature. We do physical activity and the body temperature rises and the body produces sweat - and we are hot - and shortly after the sweat evaporates, we immediately feel cold. And here the 37.5 Technology comes to our aid.

How does it work ?

It is a dynamic technology that interacts with the body to determine if it needs heating or cooling. It is activated with moisture and works based on the amount of moisture near the skin. Operation occurs through active particles, consisting of volcanic sand, which capture the infrared energy that the body emits. If there is moisture, it accelerates evaporation to cool; if, on the other hand, there is no humidity, the IR energy is returned to keep the body warm.

Science fiction? No, a technology that solves practical problems and helps keep the body at the ideal internal temperature of 37.5 degrees and the microclimate near the skin at an ideal relative humidity of 37.5%. The quick removal of steam, before it turns into sweat is the key to comfort and by improving comfort, fatigue is reduced and our performance increases.

Fabrics produced with 37.5 technology do not lose their effectiveness following use or washing as the active particles are incorporated in the yarns that make up the garments.

Kapriol proposes the Dynamic 37.5 clothing line for the 2022 collection, composed of garments that are easy to wear and easy to maintain; the most advanced answer for the most demanding professional. 37.5 technology is “Skin Friendly” certified (DIN EN ISO 10993 5 2009 10) in compliance with European standards.
