Working in hot, humid, and sunny weather.
Sunshine and safety
Hard work in hot and humid conditions can not only be uncomfortable, but dangerous. So when temperatures rise, it’s important that we take the necessary precautions to stay cool, dry, and well-covered. That’s where our lightweight, moisture-wicking, and UV-protective workwear can play an important role.
When gearing up for a hard day’s work in the sun, there are three important factors that we all need to think about.
Materials
Lightweight fabrics and materials offer greater ventilation and dry faster when wet from perspiration. And even if many may consider cotton to be a lightweight fabric, its high absorbency makes it dry very slowly. Our LiteWork collection of workwear is purposefully built for warmer climates, using specially selected, durable yet light fabrics for both your comfort and safety.
Body temperature
You need clothes with exceptional breathability and ventilation. With that in mind, we’re proud to use fabrics with 37.5® Technology in our workwear. Patented particles help your body maintain an ideal core temperature by removing perspiration vapors before they can turn into liquid sweat. That means you can stay both cool and dry no matter how hot it gets.
UV-Protection
Safety is always a priority in the building and construction industries. And in sunny conditions, protection from the sun’s harmful UV rays can be decisive. A number of garments in our LiteWork collection use lightweight yet densely woven fabrics that provide an excellent Ultraviolet Protection Factor rating of 40+.
Clothes for hot weather
The dangers of working in hot and humid conditions are well known. And we all know the importance of protecting our skin from the sun, and staying properly hydrated by drinking plenty of water. But it’s worth remembering that our clothing can also play a vital role in keeping us safe and alert.
Snickers Workwear is at the forefront of intelligent developments and smart solutions for clothing in a wide range of working conditions. We know that durable and functional workwear is an essential tool in the building and construction industries – and our LiteWork collection further proves that fact.
