About
Miners often suffer from muscular and skeletal damage over the course of their work lives, with back and shoulder injuries being particularly common. On the Skin is a protective shirt that supports and restrains the upper body in order to ensure that the wearer maintains correct posture at work, reducing the risk of injury. A lightweight harness over the shoulders and chest ensures that weight is evenly distributed over the body, while the lower-back protection supports muscles and reduces tension when force and movement are applied.
