The standard Junex Electrix heated clothing for industrial use is made in three sizes and basic colours which serve most needs. Special models can be produced to meet specific requirements---for example, using anti-static material for petrol company operatives; in colours to match uniforms with the addition of instrument pockets for technicians, etc.
The outer fabrics are light in weight and designed to stand up to considerable hard wear but obviously they cannot be expected to endure for 50 years or more like their "inners". For when the need arises, Junex Electrix have planned a replacement service to fit new outers to existing inners. The garments may be washed in mild soapy water as often as necessary, but should never be dry-cleaned.
Junex Electrix heated clothing is supplied as complete kits including either battery, holster, lead, plug and charger or vehicle dashboard socket and connections.
