personal protective equipment (PPE)

Durable, waterproof, high-visibility workwear now in stock

Working outside is never a walk in the park. When spring weather turns from snow to rain and temperatures bounce between hot and cold, it gets even worse. That’s why contractors, landscapers, and trade professionals turn to RefrigiWear for durable, waterproof workwear to keep them safe, comfortable and dry through unpredictable spring weather.

Best known for inventing the original minus-50 freezer suit in 1954, RefrigiWear offers the world’s largest selection of insulated and weather-ready personal protective equipment (PPE) for people working in the extreme cold of ice cream freezers, refrigerated food processing facilities, and subzero cold storage warehouses.

“People who work outdoors in unpredictable and uncomfortable conditions are now discovering what their cold chain counterparts have known for more than 70 years: that RefrigiWear workwear, boots, and gloves are the most durable, comfortable and weather-ready gear you can get,” says Leigh Stadelmeier, Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainer and Vice President of Outdoor Sales at RefrigiWear.

Lightweight, waterproof PPE is a must-have for people working outdoors in the spring, explains Stadelmeier.

RefrigiWear products such as the 3-in1 Rainwear Jacket, available in black or high-visibility lime, deliver flexible, all-day, all-weather protection. The heavy-duty outer shell is waterproof, and the hood rolls handily into the collar when not in use. When the weather turns cool, zip in the inner quilted jacket for extra warmth, comfort, and protection.

That’s not the only RefrigiWear gear that pulls double-duty this spring.

The HiVis Reversible Softshell Vest easily works a split shift with a high-visibility side for on-the-job safety and a reversible solid black side for off-the-clock style. The high-visibility side is available in orange or lime and includes silver reflective tape to meet both ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 – Type R, Class 2 and CSA Z96 – Class 2, Level 2 standards.

For people wading across muddy job sites, RefrigiWear delivers a range of lightweight, waterproof work shoes.

Stadelmeier says the RefrigiWear customers working with concrete or operating pressure washers prefer the uninsulated and chemical-resistant EnduraMax™ Processing Boot. Built with a 16” pull-on upper, ASTM steel safety toe and a non-slip outsole with a CSA puncture-resistant plate for protection, this boot keeps moisture and overspray away the feet.

Contractors and HVAC technicians prefer the lightly insulated Black Widow™ Boot, available in both men’s and women’s sizes, with its VitaComfort moisture-management and shock absorption insoles, ASTM composite safety toe and durable Vibram® outsole for working in wet spring weather.
