3oTrimestre09 | PROTECCIÓN LABORAL 60 Updated Products Record, new safety footwear by Base Protection with additional comfort and light weight eliminating that “airtight” effect that caus- es heat in conventional injected safety footwear. Redesigning this aspect has resulted in ventilation, even in injected safety footwear, for heat is expelled through the sides. The metal-free antipuncture Fresh’nFlex® sole pad is made from highly resistant bal- listics fabric. And the composite Slim Cap® has been redesigned to respond to this new type of safety footwear models, with spe- cial elastic, thermoplastic resins that great- ly reduce thickness of the toecap, main- taining the original range of sizes while still looking slim and elegant. Sizes are never exaggerated, and design always respects the anatomy and shape of the foot. This results in enhanced comfort. The toecap by Base Protection is EN 20345- certified and has passed strict tests of Canadian (CSA) and American (ANSI) standards. Base Protection is an Italian manufactur- er of safety footwear that is technological- ly advanced and comfortable. The compa- ny is committed to meeting the needs of professionals demanding “safe” footwear that does not compromise esthetics, ergonomics and comfort. Base has deserved the Security & Safety Award in Milan, for having developed the lightest, most flexible safety footwear at the time, and investments always reflect innovation and a focus on design. Along other novelties the company show- cases the full Record line at the interna- tional security and safety tradeshow A+A 2009 (Hall 3. Stand C54). Ongoing research and development at Base Protection enables the company to carefully study the needs of professionals, in order to come up with the most suitable footwear for each activity. The results of recent market surveys shows that end users greatly value comfort and light weight, but are not willing to compro- mise design and esthetics, for they still want to look “stylish” even when going to work. Ergonomics and comfort are of the essence and will not be compromised either. Breathability and light weight are two of the major factors that have a clear inci- dence on footwear comfort. Base Protec- tion responds with the new Record line, the epitome of design, light weight and breathability, condensed in just 500 grs. Record Metal Free is a line recommended for light construction work, light industry, logistics, services and all sectors in mechanics. Made from smooth, water- proof leather, with special oil and stain- resisting treatments, with “prince of Wales” fabric inserts, cowhide or 3D smart fabric linings that are extra breathable, the company was committed to using only lightweight leather and materials but at the same time, sought resistance and flexi- bility as well as breathability. Revolutionary sole One of the revolutionary, strong aspects of this range is the sole, solving the typical problem of built-in heat in safety footwear. Base solves this issue with the new Record Line sole, extra thin, sportive, and lending footwear that fashionable look of sports footwear. The think sole combines with Airtech® TPU-SKIN® technology (exclusive Base Protection patented), resulting in excellent shock absorption when walking, with anti- fatigue properties. There is also an addi- tional advantage: as the sole is thin, users’ comfort is improved by means of the anatomically designed Dry-n Air® sole pad, made from antibacterial materials with grooves and channels for improved ventilation in the space between the foot sole and the sole of the shoe. As thickness varies, the foot is separated from the sole, PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
