With rising temperatures and increasing sunlight intensity during the summer months, new challenges arise for workers who work outdoors. Carhartt shares essential tips to beat the heat and introduces three innovative headgear that ensure comfort and protection in the demanding conditions. Wearing sun-protective clothing: Lightweight, long-sleeved clothing not only protects against sun and UV rays, but also supports natural sweating, which helps cool the body. Breathable and UV-absorbing materials also minimize sun exposure and reduce the risk of overheating and skin damage.
Regular use of sunscreen: A waterproof sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (SPF 30 or higher) should be reapplied every two hours, especially after sweating or contact with water.
Drink for hydration: It is crucial that workers drink enough fluids. It is recommended to drink at least 250 ml of water every 20 to 30 minutes, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
Wearing headwear such as caps: Caps and other forms of headwear can protect the face, ears or neck and help prevent sunstroke and heat stroke.
Regular breaks in the shade: To avoid overheating, regular breaks in the shade or in air-conditioned rooms are essential. These breaks help regulate body temperature and prevent exhaustion.
Carhartt offers various headgear to protect you from sunlight. The caps are not only stylish but also functionally designed to ensure optimal protection.
