Deep-freeze warehouse workwear by PLANAM. Only a polar bear has better protection against the cold.
Nature is a perfectionist when dealing with how to ensure the survival of animals in an extremely hostile environment. The polar bear is an excellent example of this. Our adaptation to the environment developed somewhat differently.
Only the right kind of clothing can protect us against the climatic conditions in our habitat. After all, we are lacking that protective coat of fur. Following this insight, the question arises: what must workwear for deep-freeze warehouses look like? It must ensure the mobility of the wearer. It must guarantee an ongoing protection against the cold over a period of 8 hours – i.e. an entire working day. And that at temperatures as low as –49°C! Major demands.
Demands that are met by PLANAM’s deep-freeze workwear, initially presented at A+A 2005, in Düsseldorf. The best proof of this: certification in accordance with EN 342:2004 Protection against the cold for the jacket, bib and brace overall and coverall.
Purely optically, an appealing range. Casual cut, ensuring mobility of the wearer. The finish leaves nothing to be desired. This applies also to its high-quality processing. After all, what else do you expect from PLANAM. The decisive feature, however, is concealed underneath the surface. In addition to tried and trusted fabrics, deep-freeze workwear sports one of the most modern fibres currently on the market: 3M Thermoliner (Thinsulate). A fibre which is also used for outdoor leisuretime apparel and outdoor leisuretime shoes. Despite its low weight, it has excellent thermal characteristics from which the entire blend benefits: upper 100% nylon Oxford, lining 100% polyester, padding 1 layer 100% polyester padding and 2 layers 3M Thermoliner (Thinsulate). The reflective tape that allows wearers to be seen at night is also by 3M.
With this range, PLANAM has confirmed the good reputation the brand enjoys among trade partners and end consumers. However, it also confirms that innovative ideas are frequently hatched out in the countryside. For example in Herzebrock-Clarholz, eastern Westphalia, the company’s headquarters.
