Where people see workers, TMS.SITE sees “Industrial Athletes”. Born and raised blue-collar, founder Mei Sze Tsang witnessed the brutal conditions faced by construction workers growing up. With a mission to celebrate and redefine the image of the worker, the Hong Kong workwear brand offers advanced garments that combine the performance and comfort of sports apparel with the protection and durability required for the toughest jobs out there.
HEAT RESPONSE
The answer isn’t wearing less, it’s wearing smarter.
When the heat hits, our instinct is to strip down—but the smarter move is to layer up with proper protection. The HARDWEAR JACKET is built on that principle, designed for one of the most heat-exposed yet overlooked groups: outdoor workers.
Most workwear is cheaply made, uncomfortable, and cut from heavy fabrics unsuited for heat or hard labour. The HARDWEAR JACKET offers a holistic alternative—built for a future of extreme weather without compromising on the wearer’s comfort. The jacket’s design builds on Japan’s original fan jackets, reimagined to enable 360-degree airflow, UV coverage and freedom of movement. Two built-in fans circulate air throughout the garment, cooling even the palms—ideal for riders wearing gloves.

Full-sleeve coverage shields against UV rays, while ergonomic patterning ensures freedom of movement in demanding conditions.
The jacket is made from the same insulated fabric as delivery bags, subverting its original function of maintaining food temperature, to become a practical way of keeping riders cool. “It transforms a material associated with labour and consumption into a tool for comfort and recognition,” says Mei Sze Tsang, founder of TMS.SITE.
Tested by real delivery riders in real heat, the HARDWEAR JACKET redefines protection as active adaptation — not avoidance. So who gets to be resilient? The answer is that heat-adaptive apparel has to be for all bodies, not just some.
