1. Jacket – Warmth and Visibility Before Dawn
The Procera Proman 260 HV Insulated Jacket is designed to maximize visibility and protection. Its bright fluorescent shell and reflective strips comply with EN ISO 20471 Class 3 safety standards, ensuring that workers remain visible in fog or under streetlights. The jacket’s insulation traps body heat effectively, keeping crews warm during early-morning rounds. Windproof and water-repellent materials protect against drizzle and cold gusts, while adjustable cuffs and a high collar shield the neck from chill. Its reinforced seams guarantee durability despite daily physical strain. The Proman 260 HV Jacket provides the reliability and safety municipal teams need in unpredictable weather.

2. Pants – Thermal Comfort and Full Mobility
The Procera HV Bib Pants extend thermal insulation across the lower body while ensuring freedom of movement. Their high-rise bib design covers the torso, preventing heat loss, and adjustable straps allow layering flexibility. The waterproof outer layer protects from slush, mud, and rain commonly encountered during street collection. Reinforced knees improve resistance against abrasion from frequent bending or vehicle access. Reflective elements on the legs maintain full-body visibility, even when crouching or lifting bins. Lightweight yet tough, these pants guarantee comfort and protection throughout long shifts.

3. Fleece – Breathable Warmth for Continuous Activity
The Procera Polar HV 340G Reinforced Fleece serves as a versatile mid-layer, combining warmth and breathability. Its 340 g/m² density fleece insulates against freezing temperatures, while moisture-wicking fibers prevent overheating during active work. Reinforced shoulders and elbows enhance durability, and the zip-up front allows easy ventilation. The high-visibility color and reflective bands increase worker safety even without an external jacket — ideal during loading inside truck bays or sorting stations. This fleece provides the perfect balance of insulation and mobility for physically demanding waste-collection routes.

4. Gloves – Grip and Protection in Wet Conditions
Workers handling bins, metal parts, or icy surfaces need dependable hand protection. The Procera X-Frigo Gloves offer insulation, waterproofing, and superior grip. Their double-latex coating prevents moisture penetration while maintaining elasticity in sub-zero temperatures. The inner thermal lining ensures hand warmth during long shifts, and the textured surface provides secure grip on slippery plastic or metal. Designed for repetitive motion, these gloves minimize fatigue and maintain dexterity. For crews exposed to wet and freezing surfaces, X-Frigo Gloves are essential for performance and comfort.

5. Footwear – Safety and Traction on Frozen Ground
Foot protection is crucial for waste collection teams navigating icy pavements and vehicle steps. The Procera Narvik S3 SRC Winter Boots provide full S3-grade protection, including a steel toe cap and puncture-resistant sole. The thermal lining offers long-lasting insulation, while the water-resistant leather exterior prevents soaking. The SRC-certified outsole ensures stable footing on icy or oily ground, reducing the risk of slipping during bin handling or vehicle entry. Designed for all-day wear, these boots balance toughness and comfort, making them a cornerstone of winter safety for municipal crews.

6. Layering System – Consistent Warmth and Visibility
To maintain comfort through fluctuating temperatures, a functional layering system is key. Begin with a moisture-wicking base layer, add the Procera Polar HV 340G Fleece for insulation, and top it with the Proman 260 HV Jacket for weather defense. Combine with the HV Bib Pants, X-Frigo Gloves and Narvik S3 Boots to achieve a system that balances warmth, moisture control, and safety. The result is full protection and visibility from start to finish of every morning route.
