Our final Factoid is that, with the addition of K2 Thermal to our Equinoxx line, any cold weather activity can be engaged in more effectively, efficiently, and comfortably.

This makes K2 Thermal a great holiday gift for anyone who works or plays in cold weather.

From postal workers and courier drivers to traffic and school crossing guards; from cable installers and linesmen to construction and oil rig workers, there are numerous outdoor work applications for K2. There’s even more outdoor recreational activities, such as hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, golf, skiing, ice skating, bird watching.

Importantly, to get value from K2 Thermal, one doesn’t need to do some activity requiring special physical dexterity or athletic prowess. For example, courier delivery doesn’t require fine motor dexterity, but wouldn’t it be more pleasant to have it? One can wear a bulky coat to chop firewood, but wouldn’t it be more enjoyable (and maybe even safer) to wear a light thermal shirt that provides full freedom of movement. Motorcycle or bike riders could wear it to block wind as well as enjoy a greater sense of freedom.

However, did you know that The Maxx-Dri Vest isn't just for the Summer and hot weather months? In fact, tens of thousands of sheepdogs wear their Maxx-Dri Vest all year round. Why? Because body armor ventilation is critical to your comfort and safety all year round.

Any seasoned outdoorsman will tell you, in the cold weather winter months, the key to staying warm is staying dry. Moisture is your enemy when battling the winter cold weather while wearing body armor. This is well know among hunters and those in the hunting field.
