KEELA ADDS KNEE PROTECTION AT EMERGENCY SERVICES SHOW
Globally renowned rescue and performance outdoor clothing specialists Keela International and Ilasco Limited will be on stand number J13 at The Emergency Services Show (NEC Birmingham September 23-24, 2015), to display their comprehensive range of rescue and survival clothing and accessories.
The company will also be using the exhibition to promote ‘Redbacks’, the World’s only non-foam, ‘leaf-spring’ kneepads which have won the coveted SATRA award for the Best Innovation in Occupational PPE (personal protective equipment).
Keela International and Ilasco Limited design and manufacture outer and mid/base layer wear including thermals, performance fleeces and waterproof trousers to protect against extreme weather conditions, as well as offering a wide choice of specialist clothing for most outdoor sports and pursuits.
The Redbacks kneepads feature a soft and flexible TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer) leaf-spring set within a honeycomb matrix which distributes body weight evenly, elevating the knees to relieve back pain and reduce pressure on knee, leg, ankle and foot joints, whilst minimising the risk of possible injury from sharp or penetrating objects.
Commenting on their association with Redbacks Cushioning Limited, the kneepad manufacturers, Tony Taylor, Field Sales Manager for Keela said: “Most of our lines are designed specifically for the Rescue market which includes Lowland/Mountain/Cave & Isar rescue teams throughout the UK as well as Fire & Rescue and HM Coastguard; but when we see other outstanding PPE products such as Redbacks that can have an application within our market areas and which are in keeping with our own high standards of quality and performance, we are keen to become associated”.
