The requests during field studies were simple enough. Wearers wanted and needed flexibility in their outerwear for cold mornings and to be able to adjust as the temperature increases during the day. Increased durability on high abrasion points and secure storage were also high on the requested list of desired features/needs.
Enter Bulwark FR Fleece Hoodie from Workwear Outfitters. A 2022 Innovation Award winner, Bulwark FR Fleece Hoodie was designed featuring the HoodShield™ integrated face covering to shield a worker’s face from the wind and cold.
The HoodShield™ can be worn over the face, as a neck gaiter or stored inside the hood out of the wearer’s way until it is needed. It has a durable water repellent finish to keep wearers dry. Reinforced forearms add durability against abrasion, and an oversized hand warmer pocket that includes an extra hidden internal pocket provides secure storage.
