Key Takeaways

✦

Invest in durable work boots that can withstand daily wear and tear; consider options with replaceable soles or choose more affordable hiking boots if you plan to replace them annually.

✦

Always wear high-visibility clothing (at least 50% cotton/polyester blend) to ensure you are seen, especially when working near traffic or in low-light conditions.

✦

Prioritize eye protection by wearing ANSI Z87-rated safety glasses; consider models with foam seals for increased debris protection and keep multiple pairs on hand due to scratches and loss.

✦

Layer your clothing, starting with a moisture-wicking dry-tech base layer, to effectively manage body temperature in changing weather conditions throughout the day.

✦

Choose work pants made from durable, water-resistant, ripstop materials (like CQR tactical pants) that offer comfort and functional pockets for tools.

✦

Regularly wash your work clothes immediately after use to maintain a professional appearance and prevent permanent staining, even if it contributes to faster wear.

✦

For winter work, opt for insulated jackets with durable zippers and thermal undershirts and socks to keep warm, focusing on brands known for quality like Carhartt or specific options from Costco and Dick's Sporting Goods.
