So, what makes good winter workwear?

Good winter workwear should provide warmth, protection, and comfort for the wearer while also allowing them to perform their job effectively.

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing winter workwear:

  1. Insulation:

    Choose workwear with good insulation to keep you warm in cold weather. Look for materials such as wool, fleece, or down that trap heat and provide insulation.
  2. Waterproofing:

    Depending on the type of work you do, waterproofing may be essential. Look for workwear with a waterproof or water-resistant membrane to keep you dry.
  3. Durability:

    Your winter workwear should be durable and able to withstand the rigors of your job. Look for materials such as nylon, polyester, or canvas that can withstand wear and tear.
  4. Breathability:

    Good winter workwear should also be breathable to prevent you from getting too hot and sweaty. Look for materials that allow air to circulate while still providing insulation.
  5. Safety features:

    Depending on your job, you may need workwear with safety features such as reflective strips or high-visibility colours.
  6. Comfort:

    It's important to choose workwear that is comfortable to wear all day long. Look for clothing with stretchy or adjustable features that allow for ease of movement.
  7. Layering:

    Finally, choose workwear that allows for layering. This way, you can adjust your clothing as needed to stay warm and comfortable in changing weather conditions.
