cataloge arktis ltd about their 2009 line...
POLICE WEBBING Arktis introduced the Police Utility vest in the late 1990’s, initially as part of a programme to reduce back strain for serving officers. The vest had some success in this regard, but rapidly developed a demand both as a preventative method and as an efficient and reliable alternative to the standard belt order of the time. Wider utilisation led to the company doing its first work in high visibility items. The company now holds numerous tenders in this area, attracting the usual cohort of less effective imitators.

KIT CARE & SIZING INFORMATION

How to take care of your professional products COTTON/POLYESTER RIPSTOP GARMENTS
HIGH VISIBILITY MATERIALS
These items utilise a waterproof/breathable internal dropliner with a water repellent outer fabric. For care, just be sensible. These garments will stand up to the elements, but human ingenuity combined with the chemicals that are used in commercial laundries has been known to do damage.
The standards of visibility were designed and developed by a bunch of people who seemingly were not employed to worry about what would happen to the high visibility performance after the garments have been worn in working conditions for months on end. High visibility fabrics - unless heavily coated in a non breathable process - take on dirt very easily.
Really heavily crusted dirt can have a wicking effect, and reduce the waterproof performance. You can machine wash these garments safely using light detergents. After a couple of years you can enhance the inner dropliner by ironing the outer garment with a hot iron. You can also restore the water repellency of the outer by using the correct NIKWAX or similar product - spray on applications work best in this regard as wash-in applications can affect the breathable performance. Generally, when drying the garment, remember that the garment is waterproof not flameproof and don’t set the dryer on a maximum temperature.
Dirt can be removed by long-cycle washing and the use of a cloth (not too much abrasion). Oil stains require patience, and may need a couple of repeats of the same process. Our fabrics are treated with a process that makes it difficult for the oil to “stick” to the fabric, but this process does not cover all eventualities. The reflective tapes used on high visibility suffer from abrasion unless coated. We advise that REFLEXITE reflective tape be used, but it does affect the price.
WATERPROOF NYLON GARMENTS
WEBBING MATERIALS
Most technical finishes are achieved by heating processes. Very high temperatures can alter performance. There were some people in a prison laundry who did manage - once - to boil the high level characteristics out of a batch of jackets we had supplied to a team of prison guards, so it is definitely possible to ensure that the warden gets wet! Normal treatment, however, allows for plenty of abuse of these products.
Most of these are supplied in IRR camouflage. Do be aware that the IRR properties are affected as soon as dirt accumulates - because dirt has IR characteristics of its own. If you want to clean your webbing, soapy water and a light scrubbing brush will do the trick.
