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.

Under the sun, always protected thanks to UPF 50+ technology Monday, June 22, 2026
Before starting the day on the construction site, checking equipment is an essential ritual: helmet positioned, shoes laced, gloves ready. Often, however, there is a risk of forgetting the most invisible danger: ultraviolet rays. For those who spend the entire day outdoors – moving between hot asphalt, the height of scaffolding, or agricultural land – the sun is not simply a weather note that makes the day more tiring. It is a concrete risk agent for skin health. From this awareness stems Kapriol's choice to develop specific solutions for high temperatures, created to go beyond the concept of simple workwear. The goal is to offer garments capable of letting the body breathe and, at the same time, acting as a real solar barrier to be worn every day. Moreover, the most effective prevention on site is born precisely from the culture of safety and the sharing of good practices among professionals, especially in the hottest months.
