Here in northern Manitoba the 90F heat and high humidity isn't letting off. Here's my solution.
*Full brim white hardhat with white curtain on back, I can switch the curtain to the Pacific helmet with velcro.
Pacific hardhat with screen for climbing only, full brim with safety glasses for ground work only. The curtain makes amazing cooling effect, Bailey's sells them.
*The blue cloth is a terry cloth forehead sweat band that wraps around the hardhats suspension attaching onto itself with velcro, I own a couple doz of them. I change them 4 times a day. Wash them with the work clothes.
*The tan cloth band below the hardhat is a cooling tye I wear around my neck, soak it in cool water, the interior crystals absorb and swell and produce a cooling effect for up to 3-4 hrs.
*Next to the cool tye is a light pair of Ansell HyFlex gloves, these are much cooler then the heavier gloves.
*The lightest thinnest Carhart pants I can find. Wear the chaps only when needed.
*Lightweight mesh Hi-V vest, I spray lots of sunscreen on my shoulders and just wear the vest.
*Unlined iron worker boots with steel toe / shank and flat sole, excellent for foot locking and the soft white soles form well to the spurs [no heel needed] Best 8" summer boot with good suport I found on the market.
