Workwear & PPE

For hot weather, choose lightweight, breathable fabrics like cotton or moisture-wicking polyester to stay cool. In cold conditions, layer up with thermal base layers, insulated jackets, and waterproof outerwear. Many suppliers offer season-specific workwear ranges designed for year-round comfort.

Not always, it depends on the garment and its certification. Look for EN ISO standards for high-visibility clothing, flame-retardant protection, or chainsaw-resistant trousers. Always make sure the workwear meets the legal requirements for your industry before purchasing.

Quality workwear is designed to be tough and long-lasting, using reinforced stitching, heavy-duty zips, and abrasion-resistant fabrics. The lifespan depends on how often it’s worn and washed, but many professional-grade items last months or even years under daily use.

Consider practical details like multiple pockets, reinforced knees, stretch panels for comfort, and reflective strips for visibility. Waterproofing, breathability, and lightweight materials are also key factors, choose features that match your job’s daily demands.

Wash it according to the care label, avoid harsh detergents that break down protective coatings, and store it in a clean, dry place when not in use. Repair small rips or tears early to prevent them from getting worse and shortening the garment’s life.
