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 .
