Sweating is a thing of the past – how tradespeople stay cool in summer 

When the sun is beating down and the temperature climbs above 30 degrees, physical work becomes a real challenge. Summer is particularly tough for tradespeople, roofers, landscapers and construction workers who work outdoors every day. However, the right workwear can significantly reduce heat stress.

Summer heat? We have the solution. 

The good news is that no one has to work in thick trousers and stuffy shirts anymore. Modern workwear for summer focuses on light cotton blends, breathable fabrics and functional cuts that ideally combine freedom of movement and cooling. 

The summer collections from CWS Workwear offer everything you need to stay cool during hot working days: 

  • Breathable shirts: Moisture is quickly wicked away from the body, ensuring a comfortable feel even during strenuous activities. 
  • Bermuda shorts: Perfect for anyone who loves freedom of movement and doesn't want to compromise on functionality, even at 35 degrees. 
  • Lightweight materials: cotton blend fabric that is robust yet airy – the perfect combination for outdoor use. 

Fun fact: cotton really does ‘breathe’ – but not in the way you think! 

Cotton is often described as ‘breathable’ – but of course it doesn't have lungs. What this means is that cotton can absorb up to 65% of its own weight in moisture without immediately feeling soaking wet. This ensures a comfortable feel, even during hard work. 

However, if it gets too hot and wet, cotton dries more slowly than modern fibres. That's why CWS Workwear specifically uses intelligent blended fabrics that combine comfort and function – for a lasting fresh feeling. 

✅ Well dressed – despite hard work 

In addition to comfort, a uniform appearance also plays an important role. Professional summer clothing in your corporate design ensures a clean, uniform look – even on dusty construction sites. 

And best of all: the CWS Workwear rental service includes regular laundry and delivery. This means that the clothing is not only functional, but also always clean and ready for use. So employees stay cool – in both senses of the word. 

 CWS Workwear tip: 3 quick heat protection measures for hot days 

  1. Start early: if possible, move work to the cooler morning hours.
  2. Take regular drink breaks: even slight dehydration has a negative effect on concentration and performance.
  3. Lightweight materials: urable, breathable cotton blends – perfect for outdoor work.

Conclusion 

Summer workwear is not a luxury, but a real productivity booster. It ensures greater comfort, fewer absences and a better appearance. CWS Workwear offers the perfect solution – from advice and equipment to comprehensive service.
