In the heat of the summer, roadside safety becomes more than just remaining visible to motor traffic. The season requires workers to consider two additional factors, sun and heat. The primary place to keep covered from the sun is the head and neck. For this we offer a variety of hats and neck shades. In the scorching heat even the layering of a high-vis vest atop a regular t-shirt can be oppressive. That’s why we recommend our moisture wicking microfiber t-shirts which keep you in compliance and considerably cooler. At ML Kishigo, we have you covered for any weather and any season.
In this video blog we briefly show the best products for optimizing comfort in the summer heat.
Microfiber Short Sleeve T-Shirts
Class 2: Lime 9110 – Orange 9111 | Class 3: Lime 9118 – Orange 9119
You’d better not be expecting some wimpy cotton t-shirt here. This heavy duty work shirt is made out of high quality polyester microfiber just like what is used by the top brands in sportswear. The microfiber is exceptionally breathable and wicks away moisture which will keep you noticeably cooler than that old vest and t-shirt combo you’re used to wearing. As mentioned in the video it is available in Class 2 or Class 3 so you can stay compliant in any work environment.
Baseball Cap and Sun Shield
Cap: Lime 2854 – Orange 2855 | Shade: Lime 2811 – Orange 2812
The High-Vis Baseball Caps feature a classic and clean design, modified for maximum comfort and visibility. They include 360 degree reflectivity and mesh vented sides, with grey under the brim to reduce glare. Available as an option for our baseball caps we have the baseball cap Sun Shield which simply snaps into place on the sides, and uses velcro in the back to secure it to the strap. With this combination at least you have half of the farmers tan equation solved.
Safari Hat
S-M: Lime 2822 – Orange 2824 | L-XL: Lime 2823 – Orange 2825
For the adventurous types, or those that like to look like they are, we have the Full Brimmed Safari Hat. This option is cool, light, comfortable and will keep you well shaded. We should also point out that this hat has great low light visibility with reflective trim 360 degrees around the top, middle and brim. Now available in S-M or L-XL.
Hard Hat Shades
Hard Hat Sun Shield: Lime 2810 – Orange 2813
Hard Hat Nape Protector: Lime 2808 – Orange 2809
For those workers who are required to wear a hard hat we have sun protection for you as well! Choose from the Hard Hat Sun Shield that fits front brimmed hard hats with elastic that stretches around the brim, and hooks that anchor it on the back; or the Hard Hat Nape Protector which attaches to any hard hat with included self-adhesive velcro strips. Both style of shades feature reflective material to enhance nighttime visibility. So there is no excuse for a red-neck.
