Safety specs retract inside helmet when not in use The JSP EvoSpec has been developed to complement
JSP’s latest industrial safety helmets, Evolite, the light but strong EN397 industrial safety helmet and Evo3, a helmet offering a blend of comfort and strength. EvoSpec provides fully compatible EN166 eye protec- tion for the helmet wearer.
The spectacle design utilises a base 6 curved lens to offer close, optimum coverage for the wearer while allowing the lens to be fully retracted into the helmet shell while not in use. This allows protection of the lens and leaves the field of vision clear when eye pro- tection is not needed. When it is, the EvoSpec is immediately to hand, deploying down from the helmet and fitted comfortably to the wearer’s nose thanks to its low profile bi-polymer nose bridge. The EvoSpec is available in clear and smoked lens options and comes as standard with anti-fog and scratch resis- tant coatings. JSP

Polyisoprene glove is made of 100 per cent synthetic polyisoprene, a polymer designed to mimic the structure and attributes of natural rubber, suitable for users with latex allergies (Type I). The style provides wearers with a ‘second skin’ fit and feel said to deliver unri- valled comfort. Combined with Ansell patent-pending SureFit Technology, the gloves fit to the forearm and prevent the cuff from rolling down, maintaining the integrity of a sterile environment. The gloves also offer an enhanced anti-slip finish on the surface of the fingers and palm for a greater degree of grip in both wet and dry work environments. The TouchNTuff 93-700 Sterile Nitrile glove style is said to offer robust performance and chemical splash pro- tection. Laboratory tests indicate the thinner gloves are more puncture and tear-resistant than latex alternatives, maximising protection and providing superior strength. Designed for sterile environments, the TouchNTuff 93-700 glove style provides a higher level of chemical splash exposure resistance for a wide range of chemicals, maintaining a high degree of comfort, longer cuffs for forearm safety and textured fingertips for optimal grip performance.
