Traditional cool work wear has used lightweight cotton drill to help provide a heat stress solution. The issue with this solution is that the base garments and fabric are essentially the same as traditional workwear so there is only minimal additional cooling achieved. The other major limitation of traditional cool workwear options is the loss in strength and durability from using a lighter weight fabric.

Syzmik’s new Rugged range of works shirts and pants changes the way cool workwear is developed.
The fabric we use is a 100% cotton that is produced in a square weave construction, the construction is a more open weave that allows the maximum amount of air to pass through the fabric.

Heat stress is not only uncomfortable but can result in serious injury or even death in extreme cases. Under the workplace health and safety act 2011 (AS) it is the legal obligation of employers to put plans in place to mitigate the heat stress risk.
