Keeping Warm

Winter weather has moved in and you want to be sure to keep the cold out! Working outside in cold weather is difficult without proper gear. Protection from the elements is crucial to avoid dry skin, frost bite, or hypothermia. Warmth also helps boost your morale and productivity when working in frosty weather.

To help keep you protected from the winter weather, we’ve composed a comparison of three clothing fibers: cotton, polyester, and wool. Each fiber has its benefits and disadvantages. Here we’ll help you compare the three and guide you to the best choice. We’ve also included some links to web pages that provide more information about which types of clothing can help keep you nice and toasty.
