Working on the high seas presents special challenges for people and materials. Here, extreme weather conditions meet demanding working conditions that push every piece of equipment to its limits. For workers in shipping, the offshore industry or on oil platforms, one thing is most important: clothing that protects, keeps you warm and is reliable.

 

The most important requirements for clothing for working on the high seas:

  • Waterproof: Clothing must withstand hours of rain, spray and strong waves.
  • Windproof: Strong winds cause icy cold. A windproof layer keeps the body warm.
  • Insulating: Protection against cooling is crucial, especially during long shifts in cold regions.
  • Safety features: Reflectors, reinforcements and CE-certified materials guarantee safety and visibility.

Here we present four selected products that have been specially designed for the extreme conditions on the high seas:
