The mid-layer that does the most work

In autumn and winter, your mid-layer is what the whole season revolves around: a sweater retains warmth without costing you the freedom of movement a jacket does. A closed sweater is warmer, while a zip sweatshirt can be opened if you get warm and is easier to take off without removing your helmet or glasses. With a hoodie, pay attention to your surroundings: drawstrings and a hood are unwanted around rotating machinery.

Look at the fabric weight: around 280 grams makes a sturdy work sweater that keeps its shape even after many washes. A brushed inner lining feels softer and insulates better.

With protection

If you wear certified clothing, choose a mid-layer with the same standard; a regular cotton sweater under a flame-retardant jacket cancels out the protection. Check out the flame-retardant sweaters, high-visibility sweaters and anti-static sweaters.

Veelgestelde vragen

What's the difference between a sweater, a hoodie and a jumper?

In practice the terms are used interchangeably. A sweater or sweatshirt is a thick cotton pullover with a round neck, while a hoodie has a hood and often a kangaroo pocket as well. Note: around rotating machinery, a hood or drawstring is specifically unwanted.

Can I wear a sweater under a work jacket?

Definitely, layering works better than one thick jacket: a moisture-wicking shirt, a sweater or fleece for insulation, and a windproof jacket over the top. If you wear flame-retardant or anti-static clothing, choose a mid-layer with the same standard, otherwise the protection is voided.

How do I stop a sweater from pilling?

Wash it inside out at a low temperature, don't overfill the drum, and let it air dry. Pilling is mainly caused by friction with rough materials like velcro and zips from other garments in the same wash.

Is er een duurzame werktrui in het assortiment?

Ja, het Portwest EC300 sweatshirt is gemaakt van organisch katoen en is recyclebaar. Het is een goede keuze als je bedrijf let op de milieu-impact van bedrijfskleding. Qua gebruik verschilt het nauwelijks van een gewone werktrui: je draagt het als tussenlaag en wast het volgens het waslabel.
