Winter Safety Wear Buyers Guide

Hi-Viz Sweatshirts

In climates where the weather turns chilly, but not to the extent that your employees need parkas, these hi-vis sweatshirts make excellent winter work clothes.

• The ANSI Class 3 Hi-Viz Hooded Pullover Sweatshirt by Crown seals in body warmth in cold weather without sacrificing breathability. This 100% polyester fleece sweatshirt features reflective taping stops at the side seams to allow for a comfortable fit.
• For a great deal, don’t miss the Portwest Hi-Vis Two-Tone Zipped Hoody. 2” silver heat reflective tape keeps your visibility high, while an adjustable hood and an elasticated rib waistband and cuffs protect you from inclement weather. A generous fit and oversized pockets create a more relaxed wear.

Construction Worker Winter Clothes

Construction worker winter clothes need to handle everything the elements can throw at them, from below-zero temperatures to high winds and freezing rain. We chose these construction worker winter clothes first for their rugged warmth and protection, as well as for how great they look when customized with brand logos.

• This Quilted-Flannel-Lined Duck Active Jac by Carhartt boasts a water-repellent and wind-resistant quilted-flannel lining in the body and quilted-nylon lining in the sleeves. An attached quilted-flannel-lined three-piece hood with drawcord closure further enhances the Jac’s rugged protection against cold, wind, and water.
• The Parka with CSA Compliant Reflective Striping from Bulwark Protection is high-visibility parka with 7 oz. 88% cotton/12% nylon insulation. Elastic inserts at the waist and a deep-pleated action back improve ease of movement, and an isolated stand-up collar helps block the cold and wind.
• Caterpillar’s Heavy Insulated Parka is made of durable polyester oxford with a water-resistant outer shell and reflective webbing to keep you warm, dry, and visible in low-light conditions.

Fire-Resistant Winter Jackets

When employees require a combination of fire protection and warmth, turn to these fire-resistant winter work clothes from Bulwark, Caterpillar, and Berne Apparel.

• Bulwark’s Flame Resistant, High Visibility Parka is the perfect winter workwear piece for both warmth and protection. The 88% cotton and 12% nylon insulation mix provides superior warmth along with insulted stand-up collar and storm cuffs. This heavy-duty jacket also boasts fire-resistant protection and a high-viz outershell.
• The Flame Resistant Heavyweight Insulated Jacket by Caterpillar is windproof and waterproof, with fire-resistant insulation to keep the wearer warm in the harshest conditions.
• The Flame Resistant Hooded Jacket by Berne Apparel is quilt-lined with 100% cotton fire-resistant twill and an outer shell of flame-resistant cotton duck. The jacket includes a three-piece insulated hood and meets the requirements of ASTM F1506, NFPA 70E, and OSHA 1910. 269(l)(6)(iii).

Insulated Work Pants

So far we’ve focused on winter protection from the upper body. Your workforce’s winter work clothes need to keep their lower extremities warm and protected as well. Insulated work pants and bibs guard against the cold not only in winter but also in refrigerated warehouse settings. Examples include:

• Berne Apparel Fire Resistant, Quilt-Lined Deluxe Bib is made from the same 100% fire-resistant cotton twill as Berne Apparel’s Flame Resistant Hooded Jacket. These insulated work pants with a high back will keep your employees warm in the depths of winter while meeting ASTM F1506, NFPA 70E, and OSHA 1910.269(l)(6)(iii) fire-resistance requirements.
• The Men’s Hi-Vis Insulated Pull-On Snow Pant by Work King is a pair of pull-on insulated work pants with high-visibility features and snaps on the lower legs to allow for boots.
• PIP’s Insulated Bib Pants provides insulation to keep your employees warm. Both waterproof and windproof, these insulated work pants are lightweight and flexible and comply with ANSI/ISEA 107-2015 Type E hi-viz requirements.

Winter Weather Work Accessories

Winter weather accessories can mean the difference between a comfortable day at work and a miserable, freezing work shift. Gloves and hats protect against frostbite, while long-johns keep employees warm without restricting movement. Here are three important winter weather work accessories:

• Reinforced Thermal Utility Gloves from Dual-zone have a weather-resistant ripstop outer shell and 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation. Touch screen-capable thumb and index fingers let employees use mobile devices in cold environments.
• The Benchmark FR Skull Cap offers protection and warmth with its simplistic design. Its close fit makes it easy to layer or wear under hard hat or hood. The circular knit design provides maximum comfort while the unique blend of material offers protection from fire.
• The Flex Layer Long John by Caterpillar is made from 92% polyester/8% spandex jersey, with moisture control to keep employees dry and warm throughout the workday.
