Gorgonz Performance Work Gear debuted in 2003 with tremendous success in the uniform, home improvement and work markets. With ear warmers that wrap behind the head, performance work gloves that use a patented Exhale Heating System and a hat that keeps your head cooler while wicking away sweat, Gorgonz is bringing exciting technology to the workwear market.

I was immediately interested in these products when I saw them, says Daniel Broome of Samuel Broome Uniform Accessories, the exclusive distributor of the Gorgonz line to the uniform market. The line utilizes patented technologies initially developed for the sports market. Gorgonz brings an element of innovative functionality.

Broome has been expanding its uniform accessory lines in recent years. Known for its uniform neckwear for several decades, the Gorgonz products represent its newest offerings to the trade and were selected because of the sophisticated technology built into the apparel items.
The line includes the following products.

Ear Warmers

With its revolutionary behind-the-head design, the Gorgonz ear warmers fit snugly and can be worn with uniform headwear and safety glasses. With a simple twist, these ear warmers fold and collapse to easily fit into a coat pocket for storage. The custom fit band adjusts to fit any size head.

Gorgonz ear warmers use a variety of materials found in other heavy-duty outerwear. The inside lining of all of the ear warmers are made of breathable fleece to provide maximum warmth and comfort to the ears and skin. The outer shell is still available in fleece, or upgrade to breathable Teflon treated heavy-duty duck cotton, Teflon treated stretch nylon or a reflective fabric for added protection at night.

Cold Weather Gloves

The line of gloves includes styles with the new and innovative Exhale Heating System, which allows the wearer to direct warm breath to the fingertips without removing the gloves. The injection of heat increases the overall internal temperature, activating the heat-retaining insulation, resulting in a more comfortable glove temperature. Now users can control glove temperature by injecting warmth as needed to manage their individual comfort.

Gorgonz Cold Weather Gloves mix form and function. Warm and comfortable performance fabrics are paired with flexible fingers, Toughtek grip and Thinsulate insulation to make any job even ones requiring maximum grip and dexterity an easy task. The goal is to avoid fumbling with a tool or feeling that theres too much bulky material between the person and the project.

Whether working high above the street on construction scaffolding or patrolling the neighborhood, Gorgonz Cold Weather Gloves provide dexterity and flexibility with warmth and comfort, said Kevin Fulmer, General Manager at Gorgonz.

Warm Weather Gloves

Made with comfortable, breathable fabrics, Gorgonz Warm Weather Gloves are designed to protect the hands while keeping them cooler than traditional work gloves.

The gloves also have a superior grip, with padded knuckles and palms provide added protectionThe gloves performance fabric makes lighter work of difficult taks requiring grip and functionality.

Performance Work Hat

Made with patented Hydroweave fabric, the Gorgonz Performance Work Hat is charged by running cold water over and inside the dome. While your head stays dry, the hat keeps you cooler than most other hats through a natural cooling effect from the process of evaporation.
