protection matters: how a lightweight stretch can deliver heavy protection
In high-risk environments, workers need more than just safety; they need freedom to move, comfort to perform, and confidence to focus. With alsico’s Kibo multi-risk garments, lightweight stretch now delivers heavy protection against multiple hazards such as arc flash, heat and flame.
For decades, protective clothing meant compromise. The more protection it offered, the heavier and more restrictive it became. Workers were often left with garments that provided safety but reduced comfort and slowed them down. As a result, many workers ended up not wearing their PPE properly, putting themselves at greater risk.
Alsico’s Kibo innovation changes everything. Developed by the alsico academy, Kibo is a next-generation garment that delivers advanced protection against arc flash and heat and flame while remaining light and flexible enough to move naturally with the body. It also offers breathable comfort, making it easier to perform through long shifts in demanding conditions.
from protection to performance
This is not just PPE. It is performance-driven protection designed for today’s demanding workplaces. Kibo combines lightweight stretch with a PFAS-free composition, giving workers the comfort and freedom they need while maintaining the highest levels of safety. By removing the weight and stiffness of traditional garments, Kibo allows your teams to stay protected, productive, and focused on the job. Built with durable ripstop fabric, it delivers long-lasting strength and reliability, ensuring protection that stands up to even the toughest conditions.
