Working in warm weather? 3 tips!

 
summer workwear

Temperatures are rising and we are counting down the days till summer! Hello airy T-shirts and shorts! In your pastime, these will be your perfect partner in crime. But every professional knows: on the job a ‘regular’ summer outfit can never compete with professional summer workwear. These 3 tips will help you to get to work comfortably and practically all summer long without having to compromise on safety.

1. Choose a light fabric

Fabric weight matters! It is usually expressed in g/m² and indicates the weight of the fabric and the thickness of the weave. Work trousers weighing around 300 m/g² are more suitable for cold temperatures. In summer, a lighter fabric will be more comfortable. 

But obviously weight isn’t all that matters! The fabric of your work trousers also needs to be durable and offer the necessary protection. The long and short trousers of the new DASSY D-FX FLEX collection weigh ±245 g/m² and therefore offer the perfect combination of light and sturdy.

Do you wear high visibility workwear at work? Don’t worry, several items of the DASSY high visibility workwear collection now also exist in a lighter fabric quality, which are just as durable as their ‘heavier’ counterpart. Discover the high visibility workwear - extra light.

2. Have you considered mesh inserts?

A second way to stay cool in summer: mesh fabrics, in the most common areas of sweating. That’s why the new T-shirts DASSY Carter (high visibility) and DASSY Nexus both have underarm mesh ventilation. Say goodbye to annoying perspiration stains!

Do you prefer the stylish look of a polo shirt? But you don’t like how it can feel hot and sticky in your neck when working in warm weather? The DASSY Traxion polo shirt has mesh ventilation in the collar. Nicely hidden underneath to guarantee a clean look!

And the DASSY Odessa summer high visibility work trousers? They combine a light fabric with mesh inserts at the crotch and back of the knees to guarantee optimal ventilation and visibility.

3. Nice bonus: UV sun protection

Light and airy? Yes, please! But when the sun is burning, you should also protect yourself against its damaging effects on your skin. The DASSY Traxion, Nexus, Brandon & Carter offer the highest UV protection by blocking more than 98% of the sun’s harmful UV radiation (UPF50+, Ultraviolet Protection Factor).

Additional asset of these 4 items? The quick drying polyester fibre transports moisture quickly away from your body, keeping you perfectly dry and cool. And if you do start sweating? No problem: the antibacterial function neutralises disagreeable odours!
