Weatherwear selection tool
Following Arco’s introduction to the benefits of a weatherwear layering system, an online Weatherwear Selection Tool has been developed to help workers select garments that will keep them warm, dry and comfortable in extreme weather conditions.
The tool has been designed to assist customers with choosing the most appropriate layers by guiding them through the selection process and then presenting them with their chosen base, mid and outer layer combinations.
The layering system provides a way to ensure weatherwear is suitable for the cold. The breathable base layer sits next to the skin and keeps the body warm and dry. The mid layer – the ‘insulating layer’ – should be made from synthetic or acrylic fabric. This layer should be fitted to allow minimum air movement to ensure heat is retained. The outer layer is the shield against wind, rain and abrasion.
