- Working in the summer heat can be a real burden. Not only that, but it can be dangerous if you don't dress appropriately for the heat! Along with rest, shade, and hydration, your work gear will help you get through the long summer days comfortably. Workwear has come a long way with breathable, stretch, and even cooling fabrics to keep you cool and dry at work. In this video I give you three levels of summer workwear!

Reviews of clothing, boots, and accessories for men, along with style advice and life philosophy. I've been working with my hands for my entire life as a mechanic, tow truck driver, and eventually a licensed electrician. Being a blue collar guy, I look for certain elements in a product: is it durable? Is it high-quality? Will it perform well over its service life? Whether boots, pants, jackets, or tools I believe it's best to buy once and cry once by getting the best you can afford. With so many options these days, choosing the best product can become a difficult decision, but that's where I come in. Helping you stay stylish, rugged, and handsome.
I don't care where it's made as long as it's made well and allows you to own less and own better.

Thanks bro. Good info. Subbed
I've found that an unlined leather boot honestly keeps my feet cooler than any cheaper boots that are full of extra synthetic materials
Agreed.
I agree with you 100%
That, with wool socks. Works for me anyway.
@@Platinum1812 I love wool socks for the cold mornings and my feet don’t feel hot in the summer but when I feel like I can’t wear them more than 3 hours until my feet are soaked with sweat.
Having a fresh shirt and a pair of running shoes to change into before I get in the truck for the ride home is like giving myself a gift at the end of a hot day.
Amen to that! Great tip!
I do the same thing. It’s amazing!
I read this comment first as “fresh skirt” 😂 that would be a great method too
Ill do you one better, i put on crocs
A fresh t shirt at lunch is another unappreciated underutilized gift to yourself too.
Landscaper perspective here: Kuhl brand makes some incredible pants for lots of conditions and their airspeed button down shirt has proven to move with you while breathing and not look like your going fishing. Thank you for the video Carl!
I'm gonna have to check them out! Thank you for the tip!
Florida man, here. This video is a lot more relevant for me than the cold weather one.
Here’s how I dress on a typical hot day: Red Wing SuperSole boots (you’re feet and body are going to sweat, especially your feet. It’s unavoidable) with midweight Darn Tough socks, we have Aramark work pants (65/35 poly/cotton blend) at work, and a t-shirt or long sleeve “sun shirt” as I call it. I’ve really been enjoying the Magellan ones from Academy Sports. As for t-shirt, gotta go full polyester. Avoid cotton, because it doesn’t breathe in the humidity and it takes a long time to dry.
A wide brim hat is good, too. It keeps the sun off my neck, but also off my shoulders and helps keep me cool.
Even in the hottest days, I’ll still wear a long sleeve work shirt. In the extreme heat I’ll especially gravitate towards the Wrangler Cowboy Cut long sleeve work shirts, durable as heck and breathable, to the point if you’re working near a lake or body of water they’d be too breezy and you would probably get goosebumps. They are the best work shirts
This is hugely helpful. I'm a carpenter/missionary in Sierra Leone, Africa, and we're 5° off the equator. It's normally ≈80° with ≈90% humidity for 8 months and torrential rains for 4 months. I normally wear Carhartt (because this place is SUPER HARD on clothes) bibs for the chimney effect to help keep cool, but you have really piqued my interest in 1620. Your channel is SO crazy helpful. Thanks again!
Happy to help, stay safe brother!
One of my go tos for vented collared shirts is clearance fishing shirts, I usually buy them the fall before, orvis outlet usually has them in late august/september october for about $15-20 a pop, and they last really well in the cabinet shop environment and keep you cool even when you're working in finishing department ovens. Plus they come short and long sleeve.
Columbia PFG line is amazing in terms of hot weather shirts. They have UPF rating 50 and breath nice, as well as having huge vents in their button up and collared options. I use these for everything under the sun from standing around concrete work in 110 heat to hiking trails for hours, its nice to not have to think so much about sunscreen with these too! Find them on sale and never let go!
I work in the line trade and for the most part we’re required to wear FR ‘everything’ - for the longest time I would recommend the lightest FR cotton that was allowed but now I’m sold on the newer synthetic stuff for really hot days - drifire or dragonwear make some but there’s others out there.
Thank you so much for making this video. I’ve been searching for a video like this. I get tired of trying to find clothes that are generally cool but are designed for people just strolling around occasionally in the summer. But it’s hard to find detailed reviews of extreme heat clothing for people who work outside.
I have the klien hard hat fan. Works good unless you’re in a dusty environment and then you have to learn to take them apart to clean them. The motors aren’t very strong and sometimes you’ll lose the fan vents
The cooling vest and fan jacket is great for those who have to do some work up in the attic.
I wear a chambray work shirt from Carhartt with my key double front logger dungarees and my suspenders. I'm fine with my legs being hot and the chambray is so cooling
Excellent recommendations, Carl. Thanks!
Body Glide has a been a game changer for me for keeping the ingrown hairs you mentioned away.
I wear Vuori ripstop or climber pants in the summer. Super thin and they lasted a lot longer than I expected them too, but once they start to go they really tear, even tho they're ripstop.
I can attest to the Thorogood Crosstrex series. I have the mid cuts as shown in this video and they're some of the best sub-$200 boots I've ever owned. I worn them daily for work and as my main boot for over a year and they're still holding up great. They broke in after a month or so of daily wear but they broke in very well for me. I plan on replacing my mid-cuts with the 6" version and getting their low-cut "shoe" for summer as well.
One reason I love them so much is that their wide size is actually wide enough for my feet to sit in comfortably.
Hey man don’t know if you have a video on it or not but would love to hear your opinion on the prison blues jeans..just recently saw them and wanted a honest review so I came to you!
Love my redwing exo lites for heat and light they are
Railriders was a brand I fiund many years ago that worked well in ny environment here in the Southwest.
Thanks for the video It help us roofer In the heat
Glad to help!
Nothing beats bamboo socks for the summer. Light, breathable, antimicrobial and tough. Its by far the best summer material. Same for underwear. I should know, I live in Greece.
I wear super high quality 100% merino wool socks the rest of the year but for the summer they feel horrible for me I can feel them heating my feet up even if they're super thin.
What brand do you like for the bamboo socks?
@@tatertot2408 I use a local brand walked "Walk" I'm not sure which ones are available where you live. They should all be similar though.
I do land surveying .. so that fan jacket might be cool with me... I'm in the Desert . it's 100 plus.. i would love to protect myself from the heat but keeping myself cool
I work in a warehouse that gets over 110°f in the summer, its cooler OUTSIDE; theres no air conditioning and my machines rarely have a working fan. Its rough, but a larger tshirt and cargo shorts work well-ish.
Cracking jacket pal 😉🦉
This Heat over a hundred degrees
Can bring us down to our knees
It bleach's the coral in the key's
Changes fish migration in the seas
Hispanic workers take it with ease

Don't laugh at the Makita fan jacket. I wear a vortex under my Tyvek suit once the temps hit 100° + where I work. That compressed air makes me look like the Michelin man but man does it feel good while I'm powder coating 10+ hours 😂. Once you hit a certain age, comfort trumps everything.
Loose fitting wool or linen or a mix of the two, is the best fabric choice for a variety of temperatures, especially when it's warmer -- both wool and linen wick moisture really well. It's actually better to cover up as much skin as possible as it will protect your skin. Wool is naturally fire-resistant, so it's a good choice for anyone working with fire, welding, etc.
Yes absolutely. Consider cowboys in southwest were wearing like 4 damn layers in the desert in the old days
And remember drink plenty of water. After working outside and never getting the gratitude and gratification working outside i will not do it again. Very cool video. P.s. Florida outside heat in the summer is torture.
I have a buddy who moved to FL last year from VT. He said that he just wasnt prepared for that level of heat and humidity.
Been wearing wool socks exclusively year round for over 5 years. Kirkland wool hiking socks like 80 percent Moreno. It gets over 100 here in socal and my feet never feel hot or get smelly. And if my booths get soaked in the cold winter, they feet not get cold. I recently picked up some slip on oat shoes and looked for some low cut socks. It was the first time in 5 years I wore socks not wool and my feet were cooking in my air conditioned truck. Never wearing anything but wool socks. I actually want to find some good wool skivies. I also wear my work boots almost all the time. They feel better that anything else.
If tradesman weren't old farts you'd have a million subscribers by now
Love your videos
look at some of the aussie workwear companies they know how to deal with the heat! kinggee are a favorite of mine
As a electrician in southern Utah where it's °109 appreciate the video!
Stay cool out there sparky!
Carl I am a larger guy size 50 waist and it is hard to find light weight work pant like the truwerk ones do you have any recommendations
Columbia PFG shirts are great too. Pretty much the same as that Filson shirt yet half the price.
Filson is usually nice but far too expensive for what you get. Thanks for the tip!
I’m a blue collar guy and luckily work for family and can wear whatever I want. Also accumulated a lot of hot outdoor work gear. BUT, I bartend weddings on the side and have to work a long sleeve shirt tie the works outdoors in the summer. Please help!!
I just started work in a non air conditioned car wash line... What's a good water resistant, breathable set of pants? I'd like a zipper pocket for my phone as well.
It's even better when you have to wear FR clothing. Fully buttoned up, pant leg openings taped closed. etc. The operating company decides what you need to wear.
Not bad in the winter, horrid in the summer. Now throw in a hot engine/compressor set you need to work on. Lots of fun.
Or you have to work up on top of hot boiler breaching to replace a periscope lamp. You will never need a sauna...
Landscape guy...
Long sleeves.
SALT!
those makita jackets are suuuper common in japan
My older brother has done sheet rocking and roofing in Florida for the past 30 years. Rough gig.
I worked in a salvage yard in Florida for fifteen years. So damn hot,and abusive.
Ugh, that sounds like murder. Sweat and sheetrok dust make a disgusting paste.
Ah a fellow Carl
Indeed! See you at the top secret meeting of the Carls.
@@CarlMurawski see you too
12 for jeans at wally world and a 5 pack of hanes
👍
The problem with CQR is they don't make pants for big boys like us. It's all skinny and medium size guy stuff. I work in Tx. It's been over 100 degrees for 90 days and it's been at 107 for almost a month.
I gotta try the truwerk pants but i have duluth dry on the fly cargos and goddamn are they nice
So many brands have these great tech fabrics now. The only downside to Truwerk is they can be kinda noisy.
@@CarlMurawski ahw that plastic-y swishy noise
@@ryankelly1846 yeah man, like you’re wearing ski pants…
The 1620s don’t have it, but they’re double the price. So I guess the question is how much would you pay to not swish about the jobsite?
Hey Carl big fan! I have a question, what’s up with the workhorse jacket V2? I ordered mine 6 wks ago and the only thing that happen so far was a UPS shipping label was created like 3 wks ago and that’s it, I emailed Heat Straps twice, called and left a message, no response, I was wondering if you could help me find out what’s up with the jacket?
Nvm they just called me and said they shipping them out tomorrow! Cant wait!
My 2cents here.
Ditch the work wear brand and go straight for the hiking/ outdoor clothing companies. Worked outdoors in the middle of Southern California desert heat and nothing worked better.
Can't beat going commando
I live in Florida. When I first started working outside i started going commando. It stopped jock itch that was driving me nuts.
Hahahahaha Oh god damn, now I've gotta make a video about getting skid marks out of denim....
I want to see the guy that buys it and and shows up to the job site 😂
Fan man! He'll blow you away with his productivity! Or at least look like one of those things outside car dealerships...
@@CarlMurawski 😆
How come you deleted the second workhorse video?
It's set to private. I'm getting a lot of messages about whether its still available or not, so I may publish it if we do another round of them sometime in the future.
Consider what desert cultures wore. And how they behaved.
Drink lukewarm water throughout the day. Eat warm food. You cool yourself off and your body has to go through the whole process of acclimating again.
Bro. Summer sucks. I can’t wear my badass jackets !!
That Filson thing gonna snag and rip and provide no abrasion resistance protection and stuff. Most guys in California know they just have to suffer and wear the extra clothes in the heat and coveralls usually only come in dark blue but some of them still wear jeans when they don't really need to because canvas is a little more comfortable and often tougher.
We start at 85 degrees but at least the no humidity.
OK, $80 for pants is already steep for a typical guy who buys denim at Wal-Fart. The next ones even MORE expensive.
So, I'm supposed to spend $400 on three pairs of pants instead of 60 or 80 and hope they last way longer? I'll take into consideration...
Yeah, hi-temp issues, but surprised that guys I knew wouldn't invest in boots with fire soles and if they melted it was only eighty bucks every other year or so for new pair of whatever I guess. Occupational Hazard? Excuse for new shoes?
Yes, but workplaces that PROVIDE goggles won't invest in those good ones, so if they are getting scratched, you are spending out your own pocket for less sweat. Again, could be worth it?
Bro….. $125 for a work shirt?
A walking ac hahahaha
t shirts SUCK..Carharrt rocks.Panama hat. W ater actvated cooling bandanas.65 is too cold to work.80 is perfect
