STAY WARM THIS WINTER: INDUSTRIAL WORKWEAR BUYERS GUIDE

Insulating your body and preventing heat from escaping is critical for your well-being in the colder months. Some days may require minimal insulation, while others may require your warmest available gear. You could probably head into your closet and grab a few shirts and layer up to stay warm, but that would leave you feeling bulky, making it difficult, and in some cases downright dangerous, to perform the functions of your job.

Thankfully today, the technology behind textiles has advanced significantly. You can stay warm, while the clothing you wear on your body removes sweat away from your skin. This eliminates that dreaded cold and sweaty feeling that used to be so common.  The added benefit of this technology is that you aren’t having to wear bulky garments to stay warm. 

Here are a few options that will keep your employees and clients looking fashionable while maintaining warmth and safety:
 
Outerwear:

Carhartt Men's Black Quilted Flannel Lined Sandstone Active Jacket

Whether you’re at a construction site, working the train yards or hunting in the woods, staying warm is critical. The Carhartt Sandstone Quilted Flannel Lined Active Jacket is the outer garment of choice for many industrial workers and sportsmen. You can attach a custom logo to the large imprint area to promote your company and make your employees easily identifiable to customers. This jacket features a left chest pocket, two inside pockets, and two lower front pockets for convenient storage of smaller personal items. Highly breathable materials keep you comfortable as you move through varying environments.  With embroidery options on the left chest or left sleeve, your co-branding is sure to be noticed.

 

Carhartt Gilliam Vest
On those days where it’s cool but not too cold, a vest is a great way to keep your core temperature warm without overheating.

Dri Duck Men's Dark Oxford Crossfire
Some days require a lighter piece that keeps you warm without causing you to overheat. The Oxford Crossfire full-zip hoody does this. With Powerfleece™ fabric, triple-needle stitching, a three-piece hood, and even an inside cell phone pocket, this is the kind of outerwear you acquire when you’re serious about outerwear. This is a great piece to layer with a vest for added warmth when you need it.
