Dress for the Weather

No matter what industry you work in, we all know how hard working outdoors can be. When it comes to labourers, the weather isn’t just something to have a bit of small talk about over a brew on lunch, it single handedly controls how good or bad a work day can be.


Whether it’s spring showers, a winter blizzard or scorching hot summer sun, you need to be dressed for the occasion when working outdoors. Snickers Workwear has been manufacturing workwear for over 40 years, and in that time, they’ve become pretty good at protecting people from the elements while maintaining style and functionality.


At Snickers Direct, we want to help you stay comfortable on functional on every work day. Here’s our top picks of Snickers Workwear suited to every season!


COLD


Cold weather has to be the worst of them all. A mixture of wind, rain and snow make it massively tough for those working outdoors to get through day, but with the help of Snickers, this could all be a thing of the past…


Thanks to advanced materials such as 37.5 and GORE-TEX, you can now work outdoors without having to worry about getting wet through, getting cold toes or even a hint of goosebumps. From base layers to hats and gloves, bodywarmers to fleeces, at Snickers Direct, we have everything you need to keep yourself warm and toasty while working outside in the cold.


Snickers 9421 37.5 Long Sleeve Base Layer T-shirt


If you’re looking to keep warm outside, heavy layers can often weigh you down and restrict movement - this is where base layers come in.


The Snickers 9421 Long Sleeve Base Layer T Shirt incorporates innovative 37.5 technology, meaning the ventilation allows sweat and moisture to escape while still keeping heat in. These base layers can be comfortably worn underneath normal jumpers or shirts, allowing you to get on with your jobs without your layers holding you back.


Snickers Workwear 8014 AIS Bodywarmer


When it comes to winter workwear, layers always fair best. If you get too hot, you can simply take the layer off until you need it again. If you’re looking for the ultimate mid-layer, the Snickers 8014 AIS Bodywarmer is the ideal choice. This extra warm mid layer uses AIS technology for unbeatable insulation with moisture transportation so sweat doesn’t interfere, keeping you warm without overheating. Lightweight yet warming, this bodywarmer is the perfect for those working in an active outdoor job.


Snickers 2815 Logo Hoodie


For ultimate warmth, basics like hoodies are guaranteed to work a treat. The Snickers 2815 Logo Hoodie is one of our best sellers, offering unbeatable comfort and warmth on site. Snickers hoodies are soft and stylish, ideal for anyone looking for the perfect all rounder that can tackle the chill with ease.


WET


Wet weather can be the most miserable of the lot; in summer, it leaves you feeling sticky, while in winter, it soaks into your clothes to double the suffering of the cold climate. At Snickers Direct, we have a massive range of waterproof and water repellant clothing available to help you stay dry no matter what the season, including a huge range of innovative GORE-TEX clothing that will fend off the rain with ease.


From waterproof Snickers jackets to waterproof pants, we have everything you need to make your way through each season; rain or shine.

HOT


When it comes to hot weather, LiteWork products are ideal for anyone working outside during summer. Although cold spells can be unbearable at points, when the mercury rises, the sun can pose just as many problems. Snickers LiteWork products are technologically designed to help you stay comfortable on site during warm summer months. The lightweight fabric still includes DuraTwill fabric, so you don’t have to worry about any rips or tears ruining your summer wardrobe. Here’s our top picks for tackling summer weather in true Snickers style:

WINDY


Windy weather can be disruptive to anyone working outdoors, especially when it’s blowing a gale in winter. When icy winds take hold, make sure you wear the correct gear to get you through the day. Windstopper is the ultimate material for fending off the breeze, allowing perspiration to escape while keeping the cold of the wind out.


At Snickers Direct, we have loads of windproof workwear designed to keep you comfortable for longer, no matter how hard the wind’s blowing.

When winter’s out of the way, it doesn’t mean you can escape the wind. If gusts get up in summer months, you still need a windproof jacket to protect you from the inevitable unseasonal chill. The Snickers LiteWork 1900 Windbreaker Jacket is the ideal addition to any workwear wardrobe, perfect for layering up in winter or popping on in summer when the winds are blowing - this water repellant and windproof jacket simply folds up into the pocket, making it as convenient as it is functional!
