Keela

Keela was started in 1989 in Glenrothes, Fife. In the 1990s, Keela team began working on how to manage inner condensation in wet and cold conditions. The result was system dual protection (SDP), a double-layer fabric system that offered game-changing breathability.

It netted the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation. The company also came up with the world’s first fully tape-sealed fleece to carbon activated fabrics with inherent microbial properties.

The company supplies a range of emergency services from the police to the military, fire services and rescue teams.

The company also revitalises old gear through the Legacy Project.
