DICKIES CANADA INTRODUCES NEXT GENERATION
OUTERWEAR FOR COLD WEATHER WORKERS
From road crews to crossing guards, postal
carriers to construction workers, thousands of Canadian workers toil outside in
the thick of winter, doing their best to stay warm.
Thanks to Dickies Canada Co., famous for
manufacturing workwear of the highest standards, they’ll be able to stay warmer
this winter with Dickies® new line of garments made with a remarkable
technology called Re-tain™. Dickies has partnered with Arctic Shield®, the
developers of Re-tain, to bring this new collection of outerwear to the cold
weather workplace.
Dickies Arctic Shield garments provide
outdoor workers with superior on-the-job comfort, regardless of sub-zero and
windy conditions. Unlike traditionally thick insulations that merely slow heat
loss, Re-tain’s thin multi-layered thermal barrier captures and reflects up to
97 per cent of body heat. Breathable and non-bulky, Dickies Arctic Shield
garments will enable workers to work outdoors in low temperatures for extended
periods of time. And as an added bonus, all Dickies Arctic Shield garments are
water-resistant.
“We’re workwear experts and constantly look
for ways to help workers have the best possible clothing for outdoor work,”
said Kirk Ehrlich, president of Dickies Canada Co. “By teaming up with other
innovative companies, such as Arctic Shield, we’re able to develop better
performing products for people whose jobs require them to spend a good part of
their lives in workwear. Coming up with outerwear that is less bulky, lighter
weight and more efficient in cold weather is a real service to anyone who works
outdoors in the winter.”
Dickies Arctic Shield styles will include a
Nylon Taslan Jacket and Vest, a Cotton Duck Coat and Hooded Jacket, and Cotton
Duck Coverall and Bib Overall. Dickies Arctic Shield garments will be available
in September through Sears Catalogue, selected Wal-mart stores, and other
workwear retailers across Canada, including Dickies’ Hanover, Ont., outlet
store.
