Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is outdoor workwear?

A: Outdoor workwear is a type of clothing designed to protect workers who perform jobs outside, in various weather conditions and terrains. It typically includes high-visibility clothing, safety gear, waterproof and insulated clothing, work gloves, boots, jackets, and pants. Workwear is clothing that is worn for work, particularly manual labour. Workwear is frequently chosen by persons employed in trade sectors since it is designed to provide durability and safety (also see our workwear buying guide).

Q: What do you put on when you go outside to work?

A: A layering system for socks, jackets, pants, gloves, and hats should be used to work comfortably outside. It begins with a wicking layer that draws moisture away from the skin. It then progresses to a heavier, more durable fabric to keep you warm.

Q: What is a work jacket made from?
