In my opinion
Designed and developed as a breathable for precision handling in dry environments. Now the iconic MaxiFlex ® gets even better
Technology from ATG ®. It works through three intelligent steps: 1. Regulate: for a cooler glove experience The AD-APT ® technology is activated by the movement of our hands and increased temperature within the glove, releasing a dry and cooler. The AIRtech® technology used in the construction of the MaxiFlex ® coating has a network of structured tunnels guaranteeing optimal air quality and temperature within the glove. 3. Circulate: for a productive glove experience As your hands work they move, forcing air out of the close-fitting MaxiFlex ® glove through the patented structured tunnels within the AIRtech ® coating. This enables what is called 360° breathability to evacuate moisture to guarantee optimal air quality and temperature within, which is now further enhanced through the inclusion of the new AD-APT ® Technology. AD-APT ® — an intelligent way to keep gloved hands dry, cool and productive. Make the change! See page 26 for further details on the technology.
