Working outdoors in winter comes with plenty of challenges to overcome, which is why you need to make sure that you’re prepared with the right equipment to face these harsh conditions. Luckily, Any Weather Paper is here to help! Let’s have a look at some of the top essential kit that you need for working outdoors.
Layered Outfit
Layering is key when you’re working outdoors in winter, providing much-needed resistance to cold temperatures. Start by putting on a thermal base layer followed by an insulating mid-layer and topped off with a waterproof and windproof jacket. Other optional items include a scarf, buff, snood, hat and gloves. High-quality thermal clothing that provides waterproofing will be key for keeping your core temperature at a good level.
Durable Waterproof Notebook
In unpredictable weather conditions, it’s vital that you have the ability to write down key information without risking damage. That’s why you need a Rite in the Rain waterproof notebook. Thanks to the incredible design of Rite in the Rain’s waterproof paper, the pages in these notebooks are extremely durable and totally resistant to water. It also holds up against mud, oil and sweat effortlessly.
Waterproof Footwear
Sturdy, waterproof footwear is exceptionally important kit for working outdoors in winter. You’ll want to ensure that your boots have excellent grip to prevent accidents on slippery surfaces, as well as great levels of waterproofing and durability to ensure that you are properly protected from challenging winter conditions. A GORE-TEX membrane is a highly valuable feature to keep an eye out for, as they are highly breathable while also fantastic for keeping your feet dry.
Weatherproof Storage Solutions
Your utensils and notes need to stay protected, which can be difficult to ensure when you’re facing challenging winter weather conditions. Luckily, a Cordura Waterproof Notebook Cover from Rite in the Rain is more than up to the challenge. Cordura fabric is nylon-based, and highly resistant to tearing, punctures and abrasions. The hardwearing nature of this material makes it ideally suited for protecting your notebook and utensils in harsh weather.
Warm Food and Drink
It’s quite easy to overlook nutrition as an essential bit of kit, but it’s actually extremely important to consider. Your food and drink are your fuel, providing you with much-needed energy. This is especially important during the winter when your body is working harder than ever to keep itself warm.
Warm liquids like tea, coffee or soup are ideal picks for food and drink for working outdoors in winter, as they are effective for bringing up your body’s core temperature. Make use of insulated bottles or flasks to prevent freezing and maintain a high temperature throughout the day.
All-Weather Pocket Pen
Taking notes when you’re working outdoors in winter can be a major challenge. Some pens just aren’t up to the job. However, Rite in the Rain’s All-Weather Pocket Pens feature pressurised ink cartridges that have been tested in temperatures spanning from -35 to 120+ degrees Celsius, and underwater down to 35ft. These pens are ideally suited for work in any condition and will be highly valuable for outdoor work during the winter.
