Tax time is the perfect time to stock up on workwear essentials that will keep you comfortable and protected well into the new financial year. And when it comes to brands you can trust, KingGee and Hard Yakka are all about making workwear that helps you perform at your best, even under the toughest conditions.
We’ve summarised some of the key apparel and footwear lines that are staples for tough Australian conditions.
Workcool by KingGee
KingGee are proud to bring you the Workcool range; designed with the modern worker in mind. From the original Workcool product packed with the essentials, through to Workcool 2.0 that steps up with additional design elements, to the top-of-the-range Workcool Pro, there is a Workcool product for every worker. It’s these technological advancements that deliver maximum comfort in the toughest conditions for hard-working Australians.
The Workcool 2 Range
In the Workcool 2 range, you’ll find tops and bottoms that are designed for a men’s or women’s fit, so all workers on site are covered for great fitting gear.
The Workcool 2 tops are made from lightweight and breathable materials, so you can stay cool and comfortable even on the hottest of days. The 3-piece collar, angled pocket design, and triple needle stitching add to the durability and functionality of the shirt, while the back yoke, underarm, and side body vents ensure optimal airflow to keep you cool. And with the KingGee logo on a fabric patch on the back of the shirt, you'll look great too.
The Workcool 2 bottoms are just as impressive, with a focus on mobility and comfort. The back knee venting and eyelets at the back crotch, combined with the single hoop above the knee, allow for maximum mobility. The angled pocket designs (10 in total) and angled back yoke seam, along with the darts at the knee, make these pants both stylish and functional. Plus, the centre front button is attached with webbing tape, so you can be confident they'll last.
KingGee's Bennu Boot – extreme comfort in extreme conditions
In addition to the Workcool 2 range, KingGee also offers the Bennu Boot, a top-of-the-line option for those in need of durable and comfortable footwear.
Available in wheat or black, the 9-inch Bennu Boot features a steel toe cap and steel midsole for added safety, as well as a padded collar and insole for added comfort. Its D30® Construction provides world class shock-absorbing impact lateral and medial protection. Cordura® fabric helps to provide extra protection and durability where it is needed most – resisting abrasion, tear and stress to give support and strength while still being breathable.
The boot’s Achilles flex is another unique comfort feature, allowing the foot to flex forward and backward, preventing any pain and restriction in movement from the Achilles tendon. Kevlar® stitching in key stress zones also offers additional protection against heat, sparks & abrasion.
The slip-resistant sole and oil-resistant outsole make this boot a great choice for those in industries such as heavy industrial, mining, roadworks, building and construction.
Endorsed by the Australian Podiatry Association, you can be sure the Bennu boot is a quality choice for worker who need tough, yet comfortable boots.
