Winter weather can be brutal to work in without the right gear. Too many layers – or base layers made of non-moisture-wicking material – will cause you to get sweat wet while working. Too few layers and the elements will have you shivering.
With temperatures dropping, Equipment World has rounded up the best cold-weather clothing and accessories for construction workers.
At the end of the article, we also provide OSHA's recommendations for what employers and their workers should do to work safely in cold weather.
