Learn how to choose the right winter workwear to protect your employees during their day-to-day work. We all know that warmth and comfort in winter mean greater productivity at work. It’s not an easy task to carry out your work productively when you’re wearing work uniforms that aren’t suited to the time of year or the environment you’re in.

Sure, winter is cold, but you can’t rule out comfort and protection. So it’s important to consider three fundamental aspects when it comes to winter workwear:

Always pay attention to the breathability offered by winter workwear to keep you warm, which is also a very important factor in regulating body heat during intense work without restricting proper mobility.

Another very important point to bear in mind when we talk about winter workwear has to do with the low visibility that workers are exposed to during the winter. It is therefore very important, taking into account the sector of activity, to combine Comfort, the ability to Insulate Body Heat with the presence of High Visibility appropriate to the Work Uniform.

In this article, we’ll answer some of the most common questions about winter work clothes and how best to dress for the cold in a professional environment. The topic of the most suitable fabrics for this time of year will also be covered.

Winter Workwear – Questions and Answers

How should I dress for cold weather?

As a general rule, in order to achieve the desired comfort in a cold environment, the key is to insulate yourself from the outside environment. Using several layers of clothing is an excellent option, as you can add or remove them to prevent perspiration.

Perspiration or sweat can be a problem in colder environments, as some materials lose their insulating capacity when wet. It is therefore very important to choose the most effective fabrics for these atmospheric conditions and which will make up your Professional Clothing.

Which fabrics are best for winter workwear?

Some people argue that the best way to defend yourself against the cold is to wear several layers of clothing instead of one thick layer. However, in the workplace, wearing several layers is often synonymous with poor mobility. Therefore, the most balanced way is to wear, for example, a sweatshirt as a bottom layer and a padded jacket or vest on top, along with padded pants, gloves on your hands and a hat to complete your winter work outfit.

Although the choice of fabrics that make up your company’s employees’ workwear has to comply with a number of points, here we’re just going to focus on the aspect of thermal insulation and which ones work best with this in mind.

  • Cotton – This is a universal fabric that can be thinner in summer or thicker to withstand the winter elements. It’s also a great alternative for people who are allergic to fabrics such as wool. It’s very durable and is also a very breathable and soft fabric. One disadvantage of cotton for this time of winter is that it absorbs moisture, so it’s not an ideal fabric to wear on its own in adverse weather conditions. Another way to combat this disadvantage is to opt for a composition of Polyester with Cotton, as this way the absorption of moisture is much more controlled.
  • Wool and Silk – These are two excellent natural fibers when it comes to winter clothing. Wool insulates body heat and is naturally resistant to odors. It absorbs moisture, but not as well as synthetic products (Polyester). This fiber is quite durable.

In some professions it is not necessary to have such high protection against the cold, so if you are not in contact with such an environment, silk can be a good option. It retains odors and is moderately absorbent.
