The Evin Industries Ltd., organization was founded in 1938
focusing on producing specialized cold weather clothing.
The "Telescopic Sleeves" invention was created for the Royal
Canadian Air Force. Specialty outerwear, with the Telescopic
Sleeve invention was developed for the construction of the DEW
LINE and MID CANADA LINES (early warning radar stations across
Canadian Arctic and Alaska). Our company also outfitted the
icebreaker/oil tanker "Manhattan" (for Humble Oil) for both
voyages through the Northwest Passage.
The "Evin Self Sizing Liner" invention (permitting proper fit,
with or without detachable liner) was introduced to the market
in
the late 1970's. It is now patented in approximately 20
countries. Uniform garments with this invention are being worn
by the Australian Federal Police, New Zealand Police Service,
numerous forces throughout Belgium, Holland and Germany, in
addition to its use in Canada and the United States.
Both the Telescopic Sleeves and Self Sizing Liner have been
evaluated by the U.S. military (Army and Navy) in 4 separate
evaluation contracts.
Various documentation and news releases concerning the above are
enclosed for your reference.
HISTORY OF EVIN AIRLINE PARKA, STYLE 509TX
In 1960, shortly after the development of the "Telescopic
Sleeves" invention, the first nylon cold weather parkas with
this
concept were being produced in our Montreal factory.
The value of the "telescopic Sleeves (ball and socket system)
was
immediately recognized by all those in a work environment.
The specific advantages of the Telescopic Sleeves are as follows: (a) GREATER FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT, and thus greater comfort for
the
wearer. Since the garment doesn't "ride up" when arms are
raised, there is also greater warmth.
(b) LONGER LIFE FOR THE GARMENT, since all stress is eliminated
around the armhole.
© GREATER VERSATILITY OF FIT, from stock garments, since each
size can fit a greater variety of body shapes.
Style 509TX and other Telescopic Sleeves work garments were
produced for the Canadian market from 1960 to 1975. In 1976,
the
garment went into high volume production for customers in
Canada,
the United States and Europe.
USE OF STYLE 509TX PARKA IN THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY
In 1977, style 509TX became the standard cold weather parka for
EASTERN AIRLINES. This garment remained in use non-stop for
Eastern Airlines during the 14 year period ending 1991.
In 1978, style 509TX became the cold weather parka for PAN
AMERICAN WORLD AIRWAYS. It remained in use (at all Pan Am
stations worldwide) during the 13 year period ending 1991.
The 509TX cold weather parka is the specified garment for
CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, who has been purchasing this parka from us
since 1983 (16 years of service).
In Europe, this parka was supplied in 1979 to British Airways
for
their Heathrow Airport facility. British Airways continues to
draw from our Liverpool stock currently.
ANSI/ISEA 107-1999 is an American National Standard for High-
Visibility Safety Apparel. The standard was approved in June
1999 by the American National Standard Institute, Inc. (ANSI).
The standard development was done by committee with The Safety
Equipment Association (ISEA) as the secretariat.
1- Design
This section covers the type (vest, jacket, coverall, etc.) and
Classes (1-3) of high-visibility safety apparel, specific design
and placement requirements, and suggested design options.
2- Requirements for Background and Combined-Performance
Retroreflective Materials
This section specifies the color, performance requirements and
test methods for background material. Combined-performance
reflectro/reflective material means that the material is
retroreflective and fluorescent over the entire surface, and
only initial color and colorfastness are specified in this
section.
3. Photometric and Physical Performance Requirements for
Retroreflective Materials
This section specifies Levels (1 or 2) of initial
retroreflective performance, retroreflective performance after
physical tests, and the appropriate test methods.
ANSI/ISEA Class 3
Class 3 : Class 3 garments provide the highest level of conspicuity to
workers with the high task loads in a wide range of weather
conditions where traffic exceeds 80 km/hr (50 mph). The
standard recommends these garments for all roadway construction
personnel and vehicle operators, utility workers, survey crews,
emergency responders, railway workers and accident site
investigators.
