Air Sync Microclimate Wear

Yuta Ishikawa Microclimate Wear Protective Equipment

Air Sync

Air Sync is a garment developed in response to increasing heat related risks affecting cities and outdoor work environments. The design organizes airflow within the internal structure of clothing to support localized thermal comfort while maintaining a stable external form. Internal airflow pathways guide cooling air toward thermally sensitive areas of the human body. This structure enables adaptation across a wide range of applications from formal wear to medical uniforms, supporting both everyday use and specialized professional environments.

Xpan 2 Work Boot

Francis Lacroix Work Boot Protective Equipment

Xpan 2

The Xpan 2.0 boot features a breakthrough sole architecture built for extreme metallurgy environments, where thermal protection and lightweight performance must coexist. Its advanced sole resists heat, slips, and abrasion in high risk industrial settings. A heat and flame resistant rubber shell encapsulates the polyurethane midsole, forming an integrated thermal barrier without sacrificing shock absorption or adding weight. The result sets a new benchmark in molten metal safety footwear.

Gius 5 Motorcycle Helmet

Ken Feng Motorcycle Helmet Protective Equipment

Gius 5

Gius 5 is a motorcycle helmet that combines protection, comfort and ventilation. Five independent air intakes work with a central negative pressure exhaust vent at the top of the crown, shortening the airflow path to expel warm and humid air. Each air channel has a manual valve that blocks wind and dust when closed. The visor uses a mechanical locking mechanism that prevents detachment during strong impact. The rounded jaw edge and recessed flexible lower edges spread impact loads over a wider area. The shell is molded from composite engineering plastic.
