THE CHALLENGE: OBTAINING PPE FOR HARSH WINTERS

Midwest winters hit hard. For 40 public works employees in a small Indiana town, waiting for warmer weather isn’t an option. These crews maintain roadways, repair water and sewer lines, care for public rights-of-way and clear snow to keep their community moving.

With residents counting on them, the department needed insulated HiVis gear that could work as hard as its crew. That meant dependable warmth for freezing days and visibility around traffic and heavy equipment. Without the right protection, bitter cold could compromise comfort, safety and productivity—making an already tough job even tougher.

RefrigiWear presented a complete lineup of insulated high-visibility workwear and gloves to help crews stay warm and protected. The HiVis apparel offered visibility that meets ANSI/ISEA standards to help workers stay seen in low-light and high-traffic conditions. After reviewing the options, the department selected HiVis Insulated Softshell Jacket and HiVis Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls to outfit every employee with dependable warmth, durability and visibility.
