As temperatures begin to drop, you might find yourself grabbing a hat on your way out to work. While any type of hat will keep you warm throughout a cold workday, only a high visibility hat offers an extra level of protection on a potentially hazardous job site. With bright colors and reflective accents, you can't go wrong by improving your ability to be seen this winter.
 

High Visibility Winter Beanies

Beanies are a staple of cold weather. These are your typical, tight-fitting knit hats made with a flexible design. Beanies hold tight to your head to help stop the release of heat while protecting you from the elements. High visibility beanies like the ML Kishigo 2826 Knit Beanie have a single lower ridge, while others such as the Tough Duck Reflective Knit Beanie have a folded ridge. There are a variety of styles to choose from, most of which sport reflective striping to further enhance your visibility. Beanies are an affordable, simple and effective method of staying warm all winter long.
 

High Visibility Balaclavas

Even though you might not recognize the name, you've probably seen or used a balaclava before. The unique yet simple design of a balaclava offers coverage for your head, face and neck. Similar to a ski mask, high visibility balaclavas have eye openings but no opening for the mouth. Ideal for frigid temperatures and fast winds, the balaclava will protect your head and face in any environment. The long neck tucks effectively inside the collar of your jacket to prevent drafts of cold air. Many different styles of high visibility balaclavas are available, from simple knits to Thinsulate and Fleece Lined versions.
 

High Visibility Aviator Hats

Aviator hats? Aren't those for the hats used by WW2 pilots? Surely they are, and for good reason - they work! High visibility aviator hats can vary in design but they generally have the same purpose - keeping your head an ears as warm as possible. These hats are lined with warm, insulative materials and feature large flaps on each side which usually tie under the chin. They feature a reinforced brow that offers extreme warmth for the most brutal weather and reflective accents to give you that extra bit of confidence in low visibility working conditions. The Tough Duck High Visibility Thinsulate Aviator Hat is a great example for under $20.
 

High Visibility Hard Hat Liners

Hard hat liners aren't necessarily new technology but they've come a long way. If your job requires a hard hat, you owe it to yourself to have a warm, protective hard hat liner during the coldest months of winter. High visibility hard hat liners come in a variety of types and styles but they all have one thing in common - they feature loops or rungs designed for the head strap on your hard hat. Once attached to your hard hat, these liners deliver extra protection while ensuring your hard hat is secure on your head. It's the best of both worlds. One of our favorites is the Ergodyne N-Ferno Winter Liner with Thinsulate.
 

Before choosing your high visibility winter headwear, be sure to consider your work environment, general winter weather conditions (temp, wind, precipitation), and budget. You might decide to have more than one product for normal days and another for extreme cold. For example, if you're working in an area with icy winds you'll probably fare best with full face protection. For wet environments, polyester lined headwear will be more beneficial over simple knit products. The goal is to be as warm, safe and comfortable as possible so you can focus on doing your job.

The end of summer surely offers a sigh of relief for those who've endured those brutally hot and muggy days working outdoors over the last couple of months. With the season's change comes a short stretch of cool fall weather before the opposite extreme inevitably sets in; winter.
 
While many might prefer to work in the scorching heat of summer as compared to the bitterly cold months of winter, not everyone is fortunate enough to have that choice - and just as working in the hot summer sun calls for special attention to safety, so does working in the frigid winter air. Instead of worrying about hydration and body temperature to reduce the chances of heat exhaustion or stroke, the focus for the cold weather months is staying warm and the protection of your extremities from frost bite. Along with the brutally cold temperatures comes the additional dangers of ice and snow, which is particularly important when performing road work near high traffic areas or to those operating heavy equipment.
 
Of course one of the most important factors to working outdoors during the winter is to stay warm, so proper clothing is key. However, piling on layer after layer of heavy clothing isn't always the best solution. Too much clothing can cause excessive sweating and reduced mobility, not to mention the annoyance and difficulty of wearing high visibility apparel over your already bulky clothing. Thankfully, there are plenty of manufacturers who've designed work wear that delivers maximum protection from the elements while offering the enhanced safety of high visibility apparel.

From insulated bibs and overprints to bomber jackets, parkas, work gloves, hats and more, we have everything you'll need to stay warm and visible all season long.
