Von Profis empfohlen: Die besten Sicherheitsschuhe und -handschuhe für anspruchsvolle Bedingungen
Kalt. Rutschig. Nass. Wer unter anspruchsvollen Winterbedingungen arbeitet, ist auf die besten Schuhe und Handschuhe angewiesen. Profis wissen, was sie wollen: Winterschuhe, die Ihre Füße bei jedem Wetter warm und trocken halten, und Sicherheitshandschuhe, die Ihre Finger nicht frieren lassen und vor Schnittverletzungen schützen.
Ob Sie nun Profi oder aktiver Amateur sind, die Anforderungen an eine gute Winterausrüstung sind hoch. In den nordischen Ländern ist es mindestens ein Drittel des Jahres eisig kalt – manchmal nur ein paar Grad unter Null, mitunter aber bis zu - 30 ° C. Hinzu kommen Wind, Schneematsch, Eis und oft auch noch Wasser.
Welche Sicherheitsschuhe sind die besten?
Das beste Sicherheitsschuhwerk für anspruchsvolle Bedingungen sind wasserdichte Sicherheitsstiefel, die sowohl für nasses als auch für kaltes Winterwetter geeignet sind. Das Obermaterial des Jalas Heavy Duty 1398 Winter GTX besteht aus Leder und technischen Textilien, die den Fuß unter allen möglichen Bedingungen schützen und stützen. Ein Innenfutter aus GORE-TEX und besonders warmem Webpelz hält Ihre Füße trocken und warm. Dank des atmungsaktiven Obermaterials schwitzen Ihre Füße nicht und bleiben daher auch im Inneren der Schuhe trocken.
JALAS Heavy Duty 1398 WINTER GTX
A GORE-TEX boot for very cold winters.
A waterproof safety boot with GORE-TEX, ideal for a wet and very cold winter season.
Developed in Jokipii, Finland
‘We listened carefully to our customers and asked them what the perfect winter footwear would be like. The latest Jalas safety footwear is a premium model, and it’s been developed in the village of Jokipii with all the know-how we’ve accumulated over the decades,’ says Juho Järvinen, Director of the footwear product line at Ejendals.
Good safety shoes are easy to put on, but at the same time they support the foot snugly and ergonomically, like Jalas Heavy Duty 1398 Winter GTX footwear does.
Users hope that the best winter shoes will be warm and easy to put on. The ideal fastening system is a fast and optimally adjustable BOA® roller. ‘In this model, two separate Boa fastening mechanisms enable perfect adjustability and a perfect fit for the foot as well as the lower leg to suit your foot and working position,’ Mr Järvinen points out.
Under slippery conditions, a lot is demanded of footwear with regard to the grip properties of the sole. The Vibram® Arctic Grip Pro outsole is sure to hold well on wet ice, snow and other slippery surfaces.
What kind of gloves for construction sites?
When working outdoors in the winter, the hands are subject to cold and, depending on the work tasks, to various possible accidents as well. Frostbite and cut injuries are best prevented by using the right gloves.
‘The prevention of accidents at work is a common goal for everyone, and a lot of progress has been achieved in terms of attitudes as well. It’s essential that the best model for each job is always chosen when it comes to work gloves,’ Petri Mäkinen, Key Account Manager at Ejendals, emphasises.
Tegera gloves have been developed for Nordic conditions to withstand a wide range of weather, in addition to protecting hands in challenging work tasks. Under cold conditions, gloves must be warm and resistant to snow and rain. At the same time, they need to breathe to keep hands dry and warm. In many cases, protection against cuts caused by sharp objects is also needed. Even so, gloves must be soft and pliable so that all work tasks go smoothly while wearing them. Tegera's waterproof gloves follow the hand, and 360-degree cut protection shields hands from sharp cuts.
Works on touch screens
These gloves can also be worn while operating a touch screen, so you can use smart devices successfully with your gloves on as well.
Tegera's product development is continuous, and new materials are constantly being tested. In personal protection, you should neither overprotect nor underprotect. Rather, you should assess the risks correctly and choose the right glove from a wide product range, Petri Mäkinen advises.
