Foam Products: Basic gear to stay safe on the road

Posted on April 6, 2022

Make sure you are protected when you are on the road by wearing safety clothes. Find out what these are here at Foam Products. The first thing you need to know about safe clothes is  they should be made of 100% polyester or a combination of polyester and microfiber.

The second thing is, they should have some kind of spandex weave. This makes the fabric extremely stretchy which is important if you are doing any sort of road work like mountain climbing, running, playing sports or anything else that might cause you to become unclothed. If you don’t believe me on this, ask any female you know who has been in a serious accident if they would change something about their wardrobe. They will all tell you the same thing: They wish they had more stretchy, safe clothing. OK, let’s say you want to lose weight. Not only that, you want to do it fast and easy. Here’s what you do: You cut out all fatty foods from your diet, drink lots of water, go to bed early (no computer or TV) and exercise five days a week for one hour. In about two weeks you’ll have lost all the fat you had to start with and you’ll be in great shape. Right? Wrong. A much better plan is this: You cut out all fatty foods for two weeks.

Third is  they should be made out of a material called “fire retardant woven polyester.” Woven polyester is a material that is used for making everything from athletic apparel to cookwear. It is extremely easy to identify. If you see this material, you can be assured the clothes are safe to wear. Another feature of safe clothes is they should have an “UPF” label. This stands for “Ultraviolet Protection Factor.” This factor tells how well the material protects your skin against the sun. The higher the number, the better. But remember, even if a certain piece of clothing has a high UPF rating, it doesn’t mean the fabric itself is not susceptible to burning. Always check the tag or the material description to make sure the fabric is actually “flame resistant”.

You should always wear long sleeves shirts and pants made out of this material. It is also a good idea to wear a hat with a brim. You see, even though the shirt and pants will protect you from the sun, there is nothing to prevent you from getting burnt by sparks or embers from a fire starting on your clothing. Wear rubber or canvas shoes. These will protect your feet from getting scorched by the fire.
