SPF-Rated Uniforms with Enhanced Sun Protection and Performance

Protecting your team from harmful UV rays is crucial for outdoor work environments. Sun exposure can impact skin health, making sun-protective clothing a smart investment for businesses focused on employee safety and comfort.

The new Charles River Apparel collection is specifically designed to offer comfort, durability, and sun protection for professionals working outdoors. These SPF-rated uniforms provide essential protection from harmful UV rays, making them a crucial addition for industries like construction, landscaping, and roadwork where prolonged sun exposure is a constant concern. Wearing garments with built-in SPF not only reduces the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage, such as skin cancer, but also helps maintain worker comfort throughout the day, leading to higher productivity and overall well-being.

The Charles River Apparel line includes standout pieces such as the Cayak Lightweight Stretch Hoodie, designed with moisture-wicking fabric to keep workers cool and comfortable, even during strenuous activity. The Men’s Pulse Performance Quarter Zip Hoodie offers breathable sun protection, perfect for transitioning between job duties and casual wear. For those facing more unpredictable weather, the Men’s Supreme Soft Shell Jacket provides wind and water resistance along with sun protection, ensuring comfort in various conditions.

By choosing SPF-rated uniforms, like those from Charles River Apparel, you prioritize the health and comfort of your workforce, preventing sun-related issues and boosting productivity. These garments ensure employees remain safe from harmful UV rays, creating a more effective and focused team for any outdoor environment. 

New High-Visibility and Performance Workwear from Carhartt

Carhartt® continues to deliver on its reputation for durable, reliable workwear designed to meet the demands of tough job sites. From the classic Carhartt® Long Sleeve Workwear Pocket T-Shirt, made from 100% cotton with a relaxed fit for all-day comfort, to the more performance-driven Carhartt® Force Snag-Resistant Pocket Polo, built to withstand snags and heavy wear while maintaining a professional look, these pieces are ideal for workers who value both comfort and utility.

When temperatures drop, the Carhartt® Women’s Textured Full-Zip Fleece Jacket provides warmth without the bulk, offering a stylish yet practical option that keeps your team comfortable. For high-risk environments, visibility is key, and the High-Visibility Class 3 Hooded Sweatshirt and High-Visibility Class 3 Lined Full-Zip Sweatshirt in Brite Lime deliver both safety and warmth. With reflective taping and water-repellent fabric, these sweatshirts meet ANSI/ISEA 107 safety standards, ensuring workers are visible and protected in low-light and wet conditions.

This new collection from Carhartt® ensures your team remains comfortable, visible, and prepared for any challenge the day brings.
