By professionals, for professionals: the new rescue from height clothing from uvex
With its new operational clothing for rescues at height and fall protection, uvex safety is demonstrating its extensive technological expertise. The German PPE manufacturer has combined durable materials with practical features – tested by professionals who know what they’re talking about.
When it comes to operational clothing for rescues at height, the requirements are sky high – they must be extremely robust, while remaining functional and enabling emergency personnel to concentrate on what really matters: saving lives. The new RHT collection from uvex safety (RHT standing for “Rettung aus Höhen und Tiefen” – rescue from height and depth), offers this precise blend of extremely durable materials and well-developed features: because it was developed in consultation with absolute professionals. Various associations for rescues at height worked hard with the product development team at this long-standing German PPE manufacturer to produce the collection, subjecting it to numerous practical tests.
The result: multi-functional weather protection clothing comprising a jacket, inner jacket and trousers along with accessories such as removable braces and a modular pocket for a radio. The suit’s outer material consists of a twin-layer laminate and delivers an enormous level of abrasion resistance of 100,000 cycles along with optimum wearer comfort. This comfort is further enhanced in areas of the trousers covering sensitive areas through the use of ultra-robust Cordura. An integrable fleece jacket with high-closing collar and thumbholes, plus ventilation openings in the jacket and trousers, helps maintain a comfortable temperature. uvex rescue at height clothing is therefore suitable for use all year round and provides effective protection against the weather.
The jacket and trousers feature a number of practical pockets, all equipped with a flap to keep contents secure. An efficient way to keep equipment stowed away and protected. The back pocket pouches also feature contrasting yellow so it is instantly obvious when they are open. The patch pockets feature a waterproof zip, while a bite pull-tab allows the upper-arm pockets to be opened and closed one-handed.
Like the 3D cut, all pocket positions are specially adapted for wearing a variety of harness systems for a high level of compatibility. For example, the jacket and trousers can be zipped together one-handed, which – like the extended back panel on the jacket – prevents clothing from slipping underneath the harness. The jacket can be printed on the back. The outfit is completed with details on the jacket including an integrated whistle and reflective elements.
Overall, the new uvex rescue from height clothing is a sophisticated and highly practical product that is a true expression of the innovative prowess and technological expertise of this long-standing German manufacturer.
