WARM & SAFE
FOR INDOOR + OUTDOOR WORKERS
Our clothing keeps you warm, safe and productive in cold environments
but choosing the right clothing is only part of the process. To make it
simple, here are 10 cold facts that can help you stay warm.
H20
CHOOSE CLOTHES ACCORDING TO
YOUR ACTIVITY LEVEL
More active = less insulation
Less active = more insulation
DRINK MORE WATER, LESS CAFFEINE
Caffeine can cause dehydration so you
need lots of water to stay warm.
EAT MORE
When working in cold temperatures,
you should average at least 2,400 calories
and up to 4,000 calories per day.
DON’T WEAR CLOTHING THAT IS
TOO TIGHT OR TOO LOOSE
Insulated clothing or layers should fit
comfortably and also help seal out drafts.

PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BODY
Get out of the cold if you experience
extreme drowsiness, loss of balance,
extreme shivering or slower breathing.
AVOID PERSPIRATION BUILD UP
Stay dry to maintain warmth. Moisture can
prevent you from staying warm so look for
moisture wicking layers.
PROTECT BARE SKIN
Cover all areas that will be exposed to cold
temperatures or wind.
LAYER CLOTHING
A good inner layer insulates and wicks moisture
away from the skin. The outer layer continues the
wicking process and insulates by preventing body
heat from escaping.
DON’T SMOKE OR DRINK ALCOHOL
Nicotine and alcohol affect the body’s ability
to regulate and conserve heat, especially in
your extremities.
