WORKWEAR FOR EVER-CHANGING DAYS

»»
KEEPING WARM AND DRY WHEN working through the colder months requires something extra from your workwear. In addition, many construction sites demand that your workwear hold the visibility certification EN ISO 20471.
You know the drill. Some days it is too cold in the morning to work in only a sweatshirt, but by lunchtime, it’ s too hot for a jacket. Then, when you’ re most busy, it starts to rain. Maybe you have to swing by a site that demands highvisibility clothing. It can be hard to find one piece of workwear that fits all your needs.
It is about being able to create functional combinations of the individual craftsman’ s favourite product types. Just as the weather differs, each individual worker in the industry also has different preferences. Some prefer a heavy winter jacket, while others prefer an outer shell jacket and still others, a water-repellent thermal jacket.
KEEP IT IN LAYERS Here are a few rules of thumb for what you should look for when you put together your clothing based on the principle of layering. The inner layer’ s most important function is to be moisture wicking and quick drying to prevent cooling of the body. The middle layer has to be insulating, and you can add as many layers as it takes to stay warm. In situations with severe cold and rain, an extra layer is necessary and with
this outermost layer, the most important factor is that it be wind and waterproof. Finally, all layers must be breathable to allow moisture to evaporate.
Complete solutions are important. Combine products from among the ranges to help fulfil the demands for your workday. Workwear’ s outer layer has to protect you against wind and weather while keeping you dry so choose a jacket certified according to EN 343 and EN 342 protection against rain, wind and cold.
