A construction worker wearing a white hard hat and a black, lightweight functional shirt stands with his arms crossed in front of a summer construction site. On the left of the image, the caption "Lightweight solutions against the heat" is written in bold white lettering. In the lower right corner is an orange logo with two stylized "A" shapes.

Whether on a construction site, in a warehouse, or in the field – when temperatures rise, every movement becomes a challenge. Heavy, poorly ventilated clothing can not only be uncomfortable, but also impair performance and safety. This is where lightweight, functional workwear comes into play: It provides better air circulation, less heat stress, and more comfort – without compromising on protection or functionality. In this article, we present our featherweight bestsellers.

Extreme heat can have a detrimental impact on workers' well-being. Extreme temperatures indoors and outdoors can lead to heat stress, fatigue, memory impairment, and poor concentration. Heat stress is often increased by the use of protective clothing. At Portwest, we have developed lighter clothing suitable for use in hot environments and warm climates.
