The Evolution collection by Pulsar® introduces a new level of innovation in hi-vis protective clothing, providing greater safety and comfort to workers in the rail, infrastructure, civil engineering and utilities sectors. The design of this new range incorporates evolutionary use of reflective markings and new features for pioneering clothing that enables workers to fulfil their roles in all weathers.
The average fatality rate for those working on the Highways England road network is one of the highest amongst all employment sectors in the UK. Over the past ten years, 13 service provider workers and two Highways England traffic officers were killed while working on motorways and major A roads in England.[1]
Improving the visibility of workers on the motorways and in the rail, infrastructure, civil engineering and utilities sectors, can help to reduce these fatalities and provide a safer working environment. Pulsar® Evolution offers a complete head-to-toe solution including a Storm Coat, Over Trouser and an Evolution Hood.
Each feature has been designed with the user’s working requirements at the forefront including concealed pockets for phones, radio loops for securing headphone wires safely and a fully adjustable, removable hood suitable for use over hard hats. Neoprene cuffs help prevent water, such as rain, from dripping into the sleeve ensuring that workers stay dry and warm and with no exposed zips or studs, the collection is perfectly suited for the car market.
The EVOTECH 3 layer laminate fabric technology used throughout the Pulsar® Evolution range is up to 13x more water resistant than the class 3 standard requires, completely wind resistant and class 3 breathable making it the highest performance Pulsar® range to date.
Other innovative design additions include more structural panels for a better fit than ever before, allowing the garments to offer greater flexibility and comfort for longer periods of time. Segmented hi vis reflective tape over the shoulders of the Pulsar® Evolution coat provides improved breathability and flexibility, whilst still fully complying with the regulatory requirements.
Stuart Jukes, creator of the Pulsar® Evolution collection and leading hi vis clothing designer commented “Each feature in the Pulsar® Evolution collection represents a great advancement in the design of hi vis protective clothing. It provides all the necessary safety functionality as well as reduced weight for greater comfort, with additional wearer features helping to make the garment an essential part of a worker’s day throughout the rail, infrastructure, civil engineering and utilities sectors. It’s not about revolution, but Evolution, and this range really is a huge step forward for not only the Pulsar brand, but the market”
