Lightweight, water resistant and zip-on, the boot doesn’t require breaking in, provides daylong comfort and is quick to get on and off. It features a uniquely designed sole unit that not only exceeds international standards, but also meets the extra requirements for grip on slippery surfaces such as Kennedy grating and wet scaffold board. After an extensive development process and trial period, the Defiant is now a benchmark product for many Oil and Gas companies across the world. “Adapting to the oil price turmoil last year, we developed and launched the Avenger. This was a highly-researched initiative designed to provide customers with a great quality, high-spec boot at a price to help them achieve their cost-saving targets. This year we are looking to bring another lower- cost oil and gas sector product to market, as well as updating our existing products with our most advanced sole to date – the Intelligent Grip System, which was launched this month. Overall we are excited about these developments and look forward to showcasing our latest innovations to our clients.”
