Why is thermal comfort a key issue for landscapers?
Working outdoors means dealing with conditions that change constantly throughout the day: morning chill, prolonged exposure to the sun, humidity, wind, etc.
These variations can directly impact the quality of your work and your energy levels. When clothing is not adapted to these changes, it becomes more difficult to stay focused, mobile, and efficient throughout the day. This is where thermal comfort comes into its own: it supports your efforts, helps you maintain consistency in your movements, and makes it easier to cope with the constraints of the terrain, whatever the weather conditions.
How can you best complement your landscaping workwear in winter?
Opt for an insulating but breathable base layer
In winter, maintaining a good body temperature often depends on your extremities. Hands and feet are the first areas to get cold, and if they are poorly protected, the whole body becomes tense and tires more quickly. It is therefore essential to ensure effective insulation in these areas. When it's particularly cold, heated undergloves can be worn under your usual protective gloves to maintain dexterity while providing targeted thermal comfort. The same principle applies to your feet: technical socks, which diffuse gentle heat, help to retain warmth even in sturdy shoes, while limiting energy loss. It's a simple and discreet way to stay focused and comfortable, even in harsh conditions.
These first layers are invisible, don't restrict your movement, and yet they make all the difference to your day.
Add a mid layer to stabilize heat
When working outside in winter, the first layer protects you from the cold close to your skin, but this is often not enough to guarantee lasting comfort. This is where the mid layer comes in. A technical sweatshirt or heated sweater helps stabilize the temperature of your upper body without creating uncomfortable bulk. It acts as a thermal buffer between the base layer and the outer jacket. The advantage is that you can adjust your level of warmth without necessarily adding bulky layers. This type of clothing is particularly useful when temperatures vary greatly between the start and end of the day, or when you alternate between periods of intense activity and more static moments in the field.
Landscaping attire in summer: stay cool to avoid heatstroke
Choose breathable clothing... but that's not all
In summer, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the less you wear, the better you feel. But just because your arms are bare doesn't mean your body is cool. On the contrary, when exposed to the sun, your body tires quickly. And if you sweat without being able to release the heat, you're bound to overheat.
The right solution is to help your body regulate its temperature, just like you would for an athlete on the field. The G-Heat cooling vest is activated simply with water. It provides continuous cooling for several hours without unpleasant dampness. Ideal when you're working in the sun or in a shady spot.
Protect sensitive areas: head, arms, neck
A burning neck or arms that are red hot will cause your productivity to drop. Think about covering up intelligently. The UV-protective Saharan cap protects your head and neck without making you feel overheated. It is lightweight, breathable, and prevents sunburn on the construction site.
The same goes for cooling arm sleeves. They prevent your arms from overheating while blocking UV rays. You stay operational, clear-headed, and focused for longer.
Mid-season: workwear that adapts to your pace and the weather
In spring and fall, temperatures can vary significantly throughout the day. You start the morning in the cool and end up with your sleeves rolled up. It's precisely at times like these that an adaptable layer makes all the difference. A technical sleeveless vest, especially if it's heated, helps maintain a stable temperature around the torso, the key area for regulating body temperature, while leaving the arms free. This type of garment provides real comfort without adding bulk to your outfit and can be activated or deactivated depending on the time of day or the intensity of the effort. A simple and discreet solution for enjoying the mid-seasons without having to change your outfit multiple times.
G-Heat: the perfect addition to your landscaping equipment
Your basic equipment—pants, shoes, gloves—remains essential. But what really makes a difference throughout the seasons is what you choose to wear on top: layers that regulate your temperature, prevent you from overheating or getting cold, and allow you to keep your energy where it counts. At G-Heat, we don't replace your professional equipment, we complement it. With heated clothing for winter, cooling outfits for summer, and mid-season layers designed for in-between seasons, we help you stay productive all year round, whatever the conditions.
