What differentiates warm autumn winter work clothes from others

PPE is intended to protect employees from certain dangers they encounter in the workplace. But they must also be as adapted as possible to the seasons to allow the practice of an activity in maximum comfort.

In the case of fall-winter workwear, comfort includes protection against cold and rain. This includes the use of thicker fabrics to preserve body temperature.

Standards for work clothes, pro fall winter outfit

Whether it is autumn winter clothing or clothing designed for higher temperatures, all PPE clothing has a basic standard: the EN 340 standard. It is not the only standard to intervene in the design of protective clothing, but it will nevertheless be the reference for more specific standards.

This standard will notably evaluate the ergonomics of the garment and its behavior in the face of wear. Also considered in the evaluation will be how to maintain the equipment, the different information presented for users and the various sizes and dimensions.

Specifically with regard to winter clothing, the EN 342 standard will contain all the requirements to be followed. Garments that have this certification will be able to withstand temperatures below -5°C, whether for outdoor work or in cold rooms. This standard is then classified into 2 criteria, the first according to the resistance to evaporation (breathability of the garment), and the second according to its air permeability.

But the "autumn winter" specification also requires rain protection. Thus, the EN 343 standard will complement the previous standards to design the ideal garment for these seasons. It will protect against the cold, but only when the temperature is above -5°C. In addition to maintaining body temperature above -5°C, the garment must also be windproof and resistant to rain. So many criteria that will make its wearer spend a comfortable autumn or winter at work.
