Winter Workwear

Want to buy winter work clothes? When temperatures drop, the right winter clothing will help you get through the cold months effortlessly. Good winter work clothing is not only nice and warm, but a necessary protection for your health! The benefits of wearing the right clothing in the right weather conditions are invaluable. In addition to usual properties such as warmth, comfort and good moisture regulation, winter work clothing must also optimally protect you against the dangers and risks in your working environment.

Winter conditions require the right work clothing

Anyone who thinks about working in winter may envision ice, hailstones, snowstorms, slippery roads, frozen hands and icy feet. In short, harsh conditions for those who work outside during the winter months! These winter conditions require winter work clothing with special properties to keep you dry, warm, comfortable and protected, but at the same time take your safety into account in your specific work-related environment.

Tips for buying and wearing work clothes in winter:

1. Dress warmly with several layers (3 or 4 layers for the really cold)

The well-known three-layer system provides you with optimal protection against cold and wet if you coordinate the three layers properly.

  • The first layer consists of moisture-regulating, well-fitting synthetic and wool underwear that ensures dry, warm skin (thermal underwear)
  • The second layer is an insulating intermediate layer with properties that further transport moisture to the outer layer, for example awinter sweater,vestorfleece jacket
  • The third layer: the outer layer that blocks water and wind, protects against cold and further wicks away moisture. (warm winter coats)
  • An optional fourth layer provides extra warmth. You can think of an extra insulating layer of clothing with a strong insulating effect. This layer is also windproof and water-repellent.

2. Ventilating winter work clothing

Moisture-absorbing and moisture-transporting properties in winter work clothing are very important. While performing your work, you should not only stay warm, but also dry to get through the day comfortably. Nothing is more annoying than working in damp clothing in cold conditions.

3. Wear waterproof, vapor-permeable shoes, boots and gloves for optimally warm feet and hands

To keep your hands and feet warm and dry (and prevent chilblains!) in the winter, it is very important that you have good quality work shoes, work boots andwinter work gloveswhich are waterproof, but vapor permeable.

4. Replace wet clothing and accessories in a timely manner

It is important to have one or more spare copies of winter clothing such asthermal socks,underwearandwork gloves. You can then quickly replace your wet gloves and socks and keep yourself dry and warm.

5. Good protection of head, eyes and ears

In winter you quickly lose a lot of heat near your head. In addition, eyes and ears are vulnerable and extra sensitive to wet, cold weather. So buy a good, warm hat to keep your head nice and warm:view our range of hats and beanies
