Stay cool this summer with our range of workwear designed specifically for the heat. Our climate is warming up and the summers are getting hotter, making it imperative to equip ourselves with the right clothing. Hot weather can be challenging, even dangerous, for outdoor workers, and having the appropriate attire can greatly enhance comfort and safety.
Choosing the right workwear for the heat goes beyond simply selecting light coloured, loose fitting garments. Material, weave and colour all play crucial roles in determining your comfort levels in hot weather.
Choosing the right fabrics
Fabrics like cotton and other natural fibres are often preferred as they allow for quick evaporation of moisture thereby offering relief from the heat. Man-made fabrics like polyester, on the other hand, can hold moisture leading to discomfort.
Considering the weave
The weave of your chosen fabric can have a big effect on comfort. The less dense the weave the more cooling it will be when in contact with the skin. Many consider an oxford weave a good option for the summer months.
What about colours?
You would think that a light blue cotton shirt would be perfect for those sunny days, but think again! If you want to avoid unsightly sweat patches stick to white or darker colours. There have been lots of scientific debates about which colours absorb or reflect the most heat, the fact is that the colour makes little difference and it’s more important to choose something loose-fitting.
Performance Clothing
Performance wear has come on leaps and bounds over the last few years. With fabrics and garments designed to wick sweat away from the skin, and be lightweight and cooling to the skin.
Headwear
Protecting your head, face and neck from the sun’s rays is important, especially during the hottest part of the day. Choose a hat that offers UV protection and offers shade for your face.
Don't suffer this Summer
There’s no denying that the best thing to do is to stay out of the heat of the midday sun, but when that is not possible, GoCustom Clothing has a range of customisable clothing suitable for you and your team.
