Frequently Asked Questions About FlexiTog Products

How do I choose the right FlexiTog products for my workplace?

Selecting appropriate FlexiTog thermal protection depends on several key factors:

1. Temperature Environment: Identify the exact temperature range of your working environment, including maximum exposure temperatures and duration
2. Activity Level: Consider how active the work is—higher activity generates body heat requiring different insulation levels
3. Industry Requirements: Food processing, pharmaceuticals, and logistics each have specific compliance needs
4. Exposure Duration: Continuous cold exposure requires different protection than intermittent exposure
5. Additional Hazards: Consider other workplace protection needs like high visibility or impact protection

For the most accurate recommendations, FlexiTog offers workplace assessment services to evaluate your specific requirements and recommend optimal protection solutions.

Which FlexiTog gloves are best for freezer work?

The ideal FlexiTog gloves for freezer environments depend on temperature and required dexterity:

• For Extreme Cold (-40°C to -50°C): Himalayan Extreme gloves provide maximum thermal protection for extended exposure
• For Standard Freezers (-20°C to -30°C): Himalayan Standard offers excellent thermal protection with improved dexterity
• For Handling Small Items: Consider the ColdZero liner worn under a slightly larger Himalayan glove for added warmth with dexterity
• For Food Processing: Food-grade Himalayan gloves feature antimicrobial treatment and are available in detectable versions
• For Touchscreen Use: Several models include touchscreen-compatible fingertips for device operation without removal

For maximum hand protection, we recommend a properly sized glove that fits snugly without restricting circulation, as proper blood flow is essential for maintaining hand warmth.

Are FlexiTog boots comfortable for all-day wear?

FlexiTog thermal boots are specifically designed for all-day comfort in cold environments through several key features:

• Lightweight Construction: Advanced materials providing warmth without excessive weight
• Ergonomic Footbed: Anatomically designed insoles supporting proper foot position
• Strategic Cushioning: Impact absorption in heel and ball of foot
• Flexible Upper Design: Allowing natural foot movement while maintaining insulation
• Moisture Management: Wicking liners keeping feet dry for extended comfort
• Thermal Gradient Construction: Temperature transition zones preventing overheating
• Secure Fit Systems: Preventing internal movement and associated friction
• Breathable Membranes: Allowing moisture vapor escape while blocking water entry

For maximum comfort, we recommend wearing FlexiTog boots with appropriate FlexiTog thermal socks, and ensuring proper sizing—cold environment footwear often requires a slightly larger size to accommodate thicker socks without restricting circulation.

How long does FlexiTog freezer wear last?

The service life of FlexiTog cold weather gear depends on several factors including usage intensity, maintenance practices, and specific working conditions:

• Professional Daily Use: Typically 2-3 years of reliable performance
• Intermittent Use: Often 3-5+ years of effective protection
• High-Abrasion Environments: May reduce lifespan, particularly for outer layers
• Proper Maintenance: Significantly extends product life
• Storage Practices: Correct storage between uses preserves insulation performance
• Washing Frequency: Following care instructions prevents premature degradation
• Usage Rotation: Having multiple garments extends individual item lifespan

FlexiTog products are constructed using commercial-grade materials and techniques specifically for professional environments, significantly outlasting consumer-grade cold weather clothing. Many customers report excellent performance well beyond the expected service life with proper care and maintenance.
