5 OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECES OF CLOTHING FOR COLD STORAGE WORKERS
Working in cold storage is a tough, demanding job. You need a lot more than a thermos of hot coffee to get you through—you need insulated clothing that you can depend on every single day.
RefrigiWear has over 70 years of experience in making gear that keeps cold storage workers safe and ready to get the job done. Our gear protected the folks who built the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, so we don’t think it’s going out on a limb to say we know to handle the challenges of working in the cold. We’ve got a wide selection of both new and classic pieces that will keep you working hard and looking good no matter what you face.
Extreme Softshell Jacket
The Extreme Softshell Jacket just might be the last work jacket you ever need to buy—it’s an all-around beast that leaves the competition in the dust. It’ll keep you warm down to an insanely cold minus 60 degrees Fahrenheit, and the polyurethane membrane inside makes it as breathable as it is warm. With reflective trim and Hi-Vis accents on the sleeves, it’s ready for work in just about any cold-weather situation where you need to keep safe and keep moving.
Insulated Cowhide Leather Gloves with Key-Rite Nib
You’re not the type to slow down on the job, so there’s no way you can afford the time or potential hand injury—that comes with taking off gloves to operate a key pad. That’s where the Insulated Cowhide Leather Gloves with our Key-Rite Nib system comes in. These rugged, durable gloves keep your hands protected no matter what task is at hand.
Iron-Tuff® Coveralls
You need tough? We’ve got Iron-Tuff®. Our legendary original brand is still going strong with the Iron-Tuff® Coveralls, keeping some of the world’s hardest-working people warm. Our signature RefrigiFill insulation wraps you in 11.25 ounces of high-tech synthetic warmth, and it only gets better from there. It’s built to keep your warmth in and the weather out, with a windproof and water-repellent finish, bound seams for draft protection and reinforced brass rivets for extreme durability. If you’re looking for serious all-in-one protection, RefrigiWear coveralls have had over 70 years of extreme performance to show they mean business.
Extreme Pac Boot
Versatile, tough, comfortable[, waterproof and—oh yeah—crazy warm. That’s the Extreme Pac Boot for you. Our VitaComfort system keeps your feet dry and supported, while the BOA™ Fit System uses an adjustable dial so you to fine-tune the fit for ultimate comfort. The best part? You can even dial back the warmth when you need to. Just slide out the 600g DRI-BLAZE® liners for a lighter, more breathable all-weather boot that still holds up to hard work and rough conditions.
PolarForce® Balaclava
When you need full face and head protection, don’t settle for less. The PolarForce® Balaclava is designed for super versatility, with three options of how to wear it: full-face, gaiter or open-face. The Polartec fleece outer shell is a sturdy barrier against freezing cold storage temperatures, and its built-in reflective piping keeps you safe and visible on the job. It’s the kind of no-fear protection that will help you power through the toughest days in cold storage work.
Protecting yourself when you’re working cold storage is easy when you’ve got RefrigiWear there to keep you warm. It’s the smart solution for anyone who works in a cold environment, with extra flexibility and rugged design that have made us the most trusted name in cold-weather gear for over 70 years. We know you give your best to your work—so gear up with the best around.
