Fieldsheer, a leader in temperature-controlled apparel, announces its lineup of Mobile Cooling workwear, developed to help provide cooling comfort to wearers in high-temperature job settings.
The Mobile Cooling line includes Hi-Vis Long- and Short-Sleeve Shirts, Hydrologic Hi-Vis Pro Vests, Cooling Towels, Neck Gaiters, Skull Caps, Men’s Cargo Utility Pants and Shorts, and Head Wraps.
Fieldsheer’s Mobile Cooling incorporates several complementary technologies into its apparel line, not only generating cooling properties but a number of additional benefits. The centerpiece of this technological mixture is drirelease, a natural technology developed by Optimer Brands. Using no chemicals of any kind, drirelease technology is not a surface application. Performance properties are “built into” each thread of the fabrics with an engineered blend of 85-90 percent hydrophobic (water-repelling) to 10-15 percent hydrophilic (water-absorbing) fibers.
This built-in combination efficiently pulls moisture and perspiration away from the skin and pushes it to the exterior of the fabric where it can quickly evaporate. What’s more, drirelease fabric uses 38 percent recycled materials, making it extremely eco-friendly.
Additional technologies combine to not only enhance the cooling effect but to eliminate moisture and odor while preserving garment integrity:
- Sweatsheer: This moisture-wicking technology guarantees dry skin as the sweat is moved away from the skin to ensure hours of sweat-free comfort.
- Odorsheer: Combats bacteria and microbes, which can infiltrate clothing causing odor, color fading, and a short garment lifespan.
- Sunsheer: Sunsheer UPF50 fabric technology provides a protective barrier to the sun’s harmful UVA/UVB radiation, reducing the wearer’s skin UV radiation exposure by 50x (97 percent UV block) in areas where the skin is protected by the fabric.
- Hydrologic: This unique fabric absorbs and slowly releases water through evaporation, protecting the wearer against heat stress.
For the outdoor worker, the company’s cooling vests offer additional benefits. The Hi-Vis Vest provides enhanced reflective visibility at night and during low-visibility conditions. In fact, the Hi-Vis Visibility technology meets requirements for Performance Class 3 as defined by ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 (High Visibility Safety Apparel and Accessories). Further, the vests have an option for enhanced, extended cooling via removable ice packets.
