The Temp-iQ collection is made with fabric that traps cool air inside the yarn while wicking away sweat. In this way, the wearer stays comfortable as the cool air is kept next to their skin while they are working, advises the brand. To help protect skin from the sun’s rays, the T-shirt offers UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) 40+. UPF is similar to the sun protection factor used for sunscreens. Marketing director James Whitaker said: “Our Temp-iQ T-shirt is an ideal option to keep tradespeople feeling cool and comfortable while working hard this summer by using fabric technology that reacts to their body temperature and sweat.” imagesmag.uk/dickies-cool- tshirts The Temp-iQ T-shirt from Dickies Workwear helps keep wearers cool
