Outerwear FAQs
Our warmest options are the Carhartt Arctic Quilt-Lined Duck Active Jac and the RefrigiWear Iron-Tuff Jacket — both rated for extreme cold down to -50°F. For most workers in the Northeast US, a standard insulated Carhartt or Berne jacket with a thermal base layer is sufficient for winter work.
Yes — we carry ANSI Class 3 hi-vis jackets and rain gear. These are compliant for roadway and construction use and combine full weather protection with maximum visibility. Ask in-store for current hi-vis outerwear availability.
Water-resistant jackets repel light rain and moisture but will eventually saturate in heavy rain. Waterproof jackets use a sealed membrane (like GORE-TEX or proprietary laminates) that prevents water from penetrating even in sustained downpours. For outdoor work in rain, choose waterproof — not just water-resistant.
