How Does ICEPLATE® Work?
Powered by our groundbreaking ICEPLATE® technology, these construction safety vests serve a dual purpose. Beyond keeping our dedicated construction crews hydrated, they play a pivotal role in regulating body temperature. Whether you are faced with scorching afternoons or cold mornings, simply fill the bladder with water and freeze it for cooling or fill it with hot water for heating. Designed to rest snugly against the torso, it optimizes the core temperature, significantly reducing potential injury risks on the construction site.
Crafted meticulously from a combination of high-tech composite laminates, nylon, and lightweight structural mesh, our vests promote breathability, making them an ideal choice for year-round use. The reflective material used is in line with the highest standards set by the American National Standards Institute, ensuring that safety is never compromised.
For those construction workers braving colder conditions, our TCCC Shorts and Shirt are a game changer. Specifically designed to provide targeted warmth by focusing on critical veins and arteries, they guarantee comfort and safety even in the most challenging weather conditions. Whether you're a solo construction worker, part of an extensive construction crew, or overseeing a vast construction site, our range of safety apparel and gear is crafted with your safety and comfort in mind.
Staying Hydrated While Working Construction
In the demanding environment of a construction site, the well-being of every construction worker is paramount.
