moisture wicking polo shirts peterboroughNow in-stock are the moisture wicking polo shirts by AWDis – click here to view more details and buy

Many people believe cotton to be the ideal first layer against the body when selecting clothing for work or play. Cotton may very well be comfortable next to the skin but the trouble is it holds more moisture than polyester garments and takes much longer to dry out than polyester.

Using materials developed in sports wear these great looking garments feature Just Cool’s own Neoteric™ textured fabric with inherent wickability. This material breathes and allows less moisture soak than equivalent cotton or poly/cotton garments.

Not only are these garments superb to wear in the warmer months they can be comfortably worn all year around – they also take embroidered logo’s extremely well and have a smarter corporate appearance due to the material finish and the colouring process.

Howsafe are stocking these moisture wicking polo shirts in navy blue, black and heather grey – available to order are 13 other colours and matching vests and T-shirts.

Smart hearing protection

Posted by howsafe | Health and Safety News,Our Top Products | Wednesday 20 April 2011 8:03 am

safety equipment peterboroughThe trouble with most hearing protection is that you have to remove it to have a conversation – here is the solution!

Peltor Push To Listen – For increased safety and performance

Peltor presents a whole new series of passive hearing protectors with a manual listening function. Now you can have the best noise attenuation in your working environment when you need it, but still be able to hear speech, warning cries and signals.

NO MORE LIFTING OFF YOUR HEARING PROTECTORS
Many people who use regular hearing protectors lift them off completely when they need to hear something. That means they no longer have 100% protection. The Peltor Optime Push To Listen improves protection by ensuring that the ears are never exposed to to harmful noise levels. Everyone can afford a Push To Listen hearing protector – it doesn´t cost much more than a  regular, non electronic hearing protector. Listen when you want and be protected when you need it.

PRESS THE BUTTON – AND JUST LISTEN
A simple press of a button on the outside of the shell lets you communicate while maintaining your hearing protection. Hear speech and sounds clearly and safely. The new hearing protectors are naturally just as easy to restore after use. Just press the button again. If you forget to switch the hearing protection back on, the unit does so automatically after 30 seconds. All commands follow a logical pattern and are easy to perform. Usually, one run-through with the manual is sufficient to learn the settings.

To view a sample of the Push to Listen ear defender either call into the Peterborough based Workwear Store or call on 01733 560669.

Ladies safety footwear

Posted by howsafe | Company News,Our Top Products | Monday 4 April 2011 3:50 pm

Ok we have to admit that ladies safety footwear is not always that inspiring – however here at Howsafe we have been on a bit of a mission to bring together a range of ladies footwear that looks stylish. Clearly footwear needs to be safe, comfortable and good looking – not always easy within the limitations of safety footwear – especially ladies.

Cofra and Dickies really have pushed safety footwear into the 21st century – with styling getting an equal consideration.

Pictured is the Cofra Monnalisa trainer with aluminium toecap for reduced weight, APT foot-bed for flexible underfoot protection and SRC sole unit for the ultimate in anti-slip performance. Pretty cool hey?

If you would like to view our full ladies safety range you can either request a safety footwear wallchart, call into the Howsafe Workwear Store based in Peterborough or ask for an account manager to call in to see you (service offered to business customers within 30 miles of Peterborough).
