Snickers Workwear: The Right Material
When it comes to work wear, the material used in manufacturing is everything. Well, almost anyway. For the guys at Snickers Workwear, staying at the forefront of textile development is a top priority. By this we mean identifying the right material for each product and application. And it depends on the profession, the working environment, the season and the weather. Other important considerations are of course demands on durability and washing...
... and not least of all working comfort.

Canvas+™
Material: 60% cotton / 40% polyester, 340 g/m2. Features: Strong and comfortable. The cotton fabric is reinforced with a small amount of polyester thread.
