With the fall season closing in on us, it's time to begin preparing for cooler temperatures. In the outdoor workplace, this usually means adding an extra layer of clothing. While we're still a few months away from the brutal cold of winter, it's nice to be comfortable when the temperatures drop. The ML Kishigo Black Series Windbreaker offers a perfect combination of warmth and safety to make your workday easier during the beautiful but often chilly fall weather.
 
The Black Series Windbreakers (WB100/WB101) are ANSI Class 3 compliant and constructed from lightweight 100% polyester fabric, giving you unmatched flexibility and water resistant protection throughout the workday. To meet the needs of demanding work environments, this high visibility windbreaker is equipped with ripstop reinforcements in high-wear areas, giving it a longer lifespan and improved durability over most hi-vis windbreakers. The black side panels and underarms of this windbreaker provide better contrast when compared to solid colors and have a cleaner, more stylish appearance to them. You're going to look better, be more visible, and feel safer than you've ever felt in windbreaker.
 
If you're worried about functionality, the WB100 Windbreaker will set your mind at ease. With VizLite reflective striping that exceeds ANSI Class 3 standards, you're going to be visible in even the worst weather or low-light conditions. Also, unlike many windbreakers, this jacket is equipped with shoulder vents that allow just enough warm air to escape so you don't get too warm during vigorous physical work. The adjustable waist and wrist cuffs ensure the most comfortable and secure fit at any given moment, preventing cool drafts and uninvited water during periods of rain.
 
To protect important items, the left chest of the Black Series Windbreaker is equipped with a waterproof zippered pocket. The lower front pockets are also equipped with zippers and perfect for simple storage of gloves and similar personal effects.
 
If you're looking for comfort and safety this fall, be sure to take a closer look at the ML Kishigo Black Series Windbreaker. It's available in Lime (WB100) or Orange (WB101) in a variety of sizes. In our opinion, it's one of the best, most functional hi-vis windbreakers on the market at the moment, with quality craftsmanship and an affordable price of right around $50.
 
 

Working outdoors has both its advantages and disadvantages. One of the most critical aspects of an outdoor workplace is obviously the weather, yet too often it seems that we're either braving the extreme cold of winter or trying to find a place to cool ourselves from the scorching summer sun. Ideally, we'd prefer the weather to be somewhere in the middle - not too hot, not too cold. Usually it's only during the spring and fall that we get to enjoy the luxury of ideal working conditions. But what type of high visibility gear can be worn during these mediocre temperatures? When it's a bit too warm for a bulky for a sweatshirt or jacket and still too cool for a t-shirt, what's the answer to safety and comfort? A windbreaker; and ML Kishigo has just the product.
 
The Black Series Windbreaker is the perfect answer to the rather mild and unpredictable months of spring and fall. Manufactured from 100% lightweight polyester it offers enough protection to dampen the wind yet provide breathable and flexible high visibility safety when you need it the most. It also functions perfectly as a space saving backup that can be kept in a car or locker and used on an as-needed basis. Better yet, it's ANSI Class 3 compliant so it's suitable for practically any job site.
 
As are all ML Kishigo's products, the Black Series Windbreaker is designed for a tough job. Comfort, safety and functionality has always been trademarks of the brand and they've surely been incorporated in the design of this windbreaker.
 
Being ANSI Class 3 compliant, it features plenty of reflective striping for poorly lit environments and decreased visibility. Strategic placement of these materials on the garment provide you with the best overall reflectivity to ensure that you're seen by drivers, equipment operators and co-workers. After all there's no such thing as being too safe, right?
 
Adjustable wrist cuffs allow for a secure yet comfortable fit while adjustable waist cinches are located on the interior of the zippered front pockets to prevent from being snagged on equipment or materials. We think that's quite clever from a safety point of view - not to mention it provides a cleaner look.
 
There's also a vertical pocket on the left chest with a waterproof zipper for anything that needs to remain dry during wet conditions. Unique shoulder shoulder vents have been integrated as well to allow heat to escape during rigorous activity, keeping you cool enough to prevent sweating and discomfort. The black fabric areas of the underarm are made from a more durable ripstop material to help prevent wear while providing a clean appearance in areas that might normally appear soiled from frequent contact with materials or equipment. Not too bad for a windbreaker!
