Mechanic summer workwear: heat, sweat and cotton

Heat changes everything

A hot mechanics and garage staff job is a hydration problem before it's a clothing one, but clothing does the heavy lifting. Light, breathable, quick-drying pieces beat heavy cotton every time by mid-July.

The summer kit

• Workwear Coveralls & PPE workwear — 11 styles
• Workwear Bottoms workwear — 290 styles
• Polo Shirts workwear — 189 styles
• Jackets & Outerwear workwear — 687 styles

What to avoid

Heavy cotton holds sweat and polyester next to skin traps heat. The summer sweet spot is a mid-weight polycotton that dries fast but still breathes. Shop the range above and keep the shell in the van.
