Het belang van goede onderkleding

The Importance of Good Underwear

If you want to work well and comfortably, good base layers are essential. The base layer is the first layer of clothing you put on and therefore extremely important. Whether you work indoors or outdoors, in summer or winter, and whether it's a long, tough day or a short job, with the right base layers you start your workday off right.

Base layers for cold conditions

Layer up! That's what you often hear when you have to work in the cold. The first layer is extremely important in this regard. Thermal clothing doesn't make you warm but retains body heat. Therefore, it is important to wear it directly on the skin, otherwise, the thermal clothing loses its effectiveness. The Cratex pro line thermoset consists of a long-sleeve shirt and long thermal pants. This way, you retain your body heat as optimally as possible.

In cold conditions, it is often recommended to wear three layers. A base layer that retains body heat and wicks away sweat, an insulation layer like the sweater Thun and an outer layer that blocks wind and rain. The jackets from Cratex pro line are the perfect third layer thanks to their 3-layer softshell.

The importance of good socks

As a real worker, you're often active. All the walking or standing can have a significant impact on your feet. The right shoes can prevent many problems, but the combination with good socks and a good insole makes the difference. The work socks from Cratex pro line provide comfort with a soft terry foot and moisture regulation thanks to the coolmax material. Need good work shoes? Check out our range of S3S safety shoes.

The benefits of bamboo underwear

Got a moment? Bamboo has many advantages over cotton, for example. It's more environmentally friendly, absorbs moisture better, feels silky soft, and is cooling in the summer. In the winter, bamboo underwear feels warmer than cotton. Additionally, the fabric is hypoallergenic and wrinkle-free. Our boxers are made of 80% bamboo, 15% polyamide, and 5% elastane. This combines the benefits of bamboo with a great fit. Whether it's summer or winter, with a bamboo boxers from Cratex pro line you'll be set (and stand, walk, and work comfortably).
