As autumn moves into winter, it’s important to dress warmly for the elements. Especially in the Northern climate, where temperatures can drop below freezing for months, it’s essential to have the right work gear to get the job done and be safe while outside.

Carhartt outerwear offers a number of items that will keep you safe and warm on the job. The key is for you to know your environment and what it will take to remain fully mobile yet warm and comfortable in order to get the job done.

Here are some items that you should consider having in your wardrobe:

Hats

Once the mercury starts to drop in the thermometer, you need to have a hat. It’s estimated that you lose over half of your body head through your head. A good hat will keep that heat in where it belongs. This protects you from hypothermia and exposure as you work outside. In the Carhartt outerwear line, there are a number of hats, from knit beanies to watch hats to knit hats with visors to protect you from the glare of the bright winter sun. All of these will do the job of keeping your body head on the inside where it belongs.

Coats

Carhartt outerwear coats are made to keep you toasty during even the coldest of winter days. Once you’ve protected your head, you want to protect the largest portion of your body – your torso. A good coat is worth its weight in gold on a freezing cold day. Nothing feels better than putting on a warm coat and going outside and feeling the cold air. Especially when you know your coat is strong enough to keep you warm.

In the Carhartt outerwear line, there are a number of coats for all different conditions. Whether you are looking for a coat that will take you out into extreme conditions or just a coat that you can wear to work or play but still keep you warm, you’ll find what you need in the Carhartt outerwear line.

Gloves

Heat tends to escape from your extremities. Therefore, it’s important that you protect your hands as well as your head. There is nothing worse than having to scrape the ice off a windshield without a good pair of gloves or a pair of gloves that get soaking wet from the snow and slush. Carhartt outerwear gloves offer the solution with driving gloves that will keep your hands warm and waterproof gloves that will keep your hands dry from slush and snow.

Vests

If the weather isn’t too extreme, but you still need to be warm, plus you need more mobility than a coat can offer, you can always look into an insulated vest. These provide your chest with all the warmth of a coat, but give you the mobility you need to get the job done without the constrictions of sleeves. The Carhartt outerwear line offers a number of vests that provide both warmth and functionality.

Winter can be a great season to work and play in as long as you have the proper protection. Make sure that you have the clothes you need so that you are safe while outside during the colder months.
