For the coming autumn-winter season the catalogue includes a number of new models. The R+D department of this firm has two basic goals when it comes to developing products for its Professional line: protection and functionality. These are, once again, the pillars on which development is built. Considering the progress done in army uni- forms and more specifically in the field of camouflage, Buff decided to update its offer for armies as digital camouflage has been adopted by several armies and new Buff® digital camouflages have been included. Digital camouflage is different from other patterns because it is composed of blocky structures of small size. The absence of big defined shapes generates a blurring effect that improves mimicry with the environment. Depending on the geographical areas where armies develop their operations, landscapes and surrounding colors can be very different and this calls for different camouflages. The most com- mon environments are arid or tropical. Bearing this in mind, in- house digital patterns have been developed at Buff according to the standards of the most advanced camouflage clothing. For arid zones, the Dry Cool Buff® Arid has been designed com- bining shades of brown, beige and ocher. This model is inspired by the new equipment of the Spanish army and the MARPAT uniform currently used by the US in desert areas. On the other hand, the Dry Cool Buff® Tropical has been pre- pared, also in digital pattern, thinking specifically of forestry and green areas. Thus, it is composed of different shades of green and brown. The design of this tubular resembles the uniforms worn by several armies in South East Asia. Finally, following the request of several meat and health com- panies where there are cold areas and workers are subjected to low temperatures, Buff created the Polar Buff® White. White was not a colour offered until now and it is widely used in uni- forms for the sectors mentioned above. The product has been tested successfully in industrial washing and although it is rec- ommended to wash the product only when strictly necessary, the results have been very successful, making it a perfect accessory for environments with low temperatures. 33 PARA MÁS INFORMACIÓN, CONTACTE CON: comercial@prensa-tecnica.com
