You may think your job is challenging, but do you risk your life just clocking in? This post goes out to those folks who work the kind of jobs that most of us don’t have the chops to handle. 
We just landed a big order from a major global energy company for a custom-to-order balaclava! We’re stoked to continue to build a technology that not only keeps people protected when they are hitting the extreme sports, but helps keep them safe on the jobsite.
Always working to lead the way in occupational safety and protection, ColdAvenger is excited to announce a new generation of Expedition Balaclava Flame Resistant masks for extreme conditions. The ColdAvenger Expedition Balaclava FR provides protection from freezing temperatures and hazardous environments faced by rescue crews, construction workers, oil rig crews and other folks who often put themselves in harm’s way as a part of their everyday jobs. Our little way of saying “Thanks!”
Here’s a peek at how pretty they are:
Not only is this a basic safety issue, proper equipment on the job can help employers reduce sick days and injuries. We don’t want to be too gloomy about it, but according to the US Department of Labor, an estimated 50,000 American workers die each year from illnesses caused by workplace exposures, and 6 million people suffer non-fatal workplace injuries. Injuries alone cost U. S. businesses over $122 billion annually. Unfortunately, Expedition Balaclavas alone aren’t going to solve all that problem, but we sure hope they’ll make an impact.
Check out this quick tip list for how to reduce workplace injuries at your jobsite.
The latest Expedition FR is built from the Polartec® Wind Pro®-FR fabric that we’ve upgraded with a proprietary FR poly-blend, made of high flame rated material and a comfortable poly blend. The ventilator mask is fully detachable for convenience.
The Polartec® Wind Pro®-FR is for the coldest climates when you must have the best insulation and the added protection of a flame resistant fabric and the performance of the ColdAvenger® ventilator. These awesome features:
- Will not melt or drip
- Two times more wind-resistant than traditional fleece
- Water-repellent surface to shed rain and snow
- Durable and machine washable
