HIGH TECHNOLOGY AT WORK
At Snickers Workwear, they are driving the application of advanced materials in work wear design, taking advantage of the latest technological developments, when and where it can improve on-the-job comfort, protection and durability
GORE -TEX® MATERIALS
GORE-TEX® Technical Garments are extremely durable, waterproof to keep you dry, windproof to keep you warm, and breathable to keep you comfortable – all day long. The GORE-TEX® membrane has over 1.4 billion pores per square cm.
The pores are 20,000 times smaller than a drop of water, but 700 times bigger than a molecule of moisture vapour. This prevents water from penetrating, while its aids your body's natural cooling process by allowing perspiration vapour to escape. Special GOR E-SEAM® tape ensures that all seams are 100% water proof.
WINDSTOPPER® MATERIALS
WINDSTOPPER® materials combines total windproofness with maximum breathability to keep you warm and comfortable:
- The Windproofness protects your body's warmth from the chilling effects of wind and weather.
- Maximum breathability prevents overheating and perspiration build-up by allowing moisture vapour to escape easily.
A durable water repellent finish provides additional weather protection.

CORDURA®
Material: 100 % polyamide. Features: Cordura® by Invista is a high technology fabric made with air-textured polyamide fibres able to meet the toughest standards of strength and durability – yet remain light and stylish.
Because it is an extremely tough and hardwearing material, we use it to reinforce exposed parts on Snickers garments such as pockets, knees and sleeves. It is also water and dirt repellent, easy to care for and retains its shape.
COOLMAX®
Coolmax® fabrics are designed to move moisture away from the body and enhance fabric drying rate, thus keeping you feeling cool and dry. Coolmax® moves perspiration, through channels in the fibres structure away from the body to the fabric's outer surface, where it can evaporate quickly.
The performance of Coolmax® is inherent in the fibres structure itself, thereby providing consistent performance wash after wash. The soft, lightweight and breathable fabric gives clothes a natural feel with an added touch of performance that keeps them comfortable and brings cool comfort to everyday apparel.
SUPERFABRIC® BRAND MATERIALS
