Summer is in full swing – if you work outside then you know this all too well. Thanks to advances in fabric technology, work clothing is now more equipped to help you stay cool.
Moisture-wicking fabrics can be especially helpful, as they’re made with polyester blends that are woven in a way that forces the moisture through the gaps of the weave. This allows it to evaporate, leaving your skin feeling cool. To keep you from melting, we’re highlighting our favorite work gear which includes moisture-wicking options for the dog days of summer.

The cotton material keeps the design breathable. The polyester portion adds quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant properties. You’ll also enjoy its moisture-wicking fabric that will draw sweat away from your body. The relaxed fit design, with raglan sleeves gives you a comfortable wear with full range of motion. The chest pocket with the classic Carhartt logo adds a subtle level of style to your next go-to summer shirt.

Wrangler Men’s 47MCV LS Cool Vantage Blue Denim Performance Regular Fit Jeans

These jeans employ their exclusive Cool Vantage technology to help keep your legs cool and dry even on the hottest days. With this technology, sweat is wicked away from your skin five times faster compared to conventional denim. With a cotton/polyester blend, these Cool Vantage jeans come in the classic Wrangler original Cowboy Cut. They feature a regular fit through your legs and a mid rise on your waist. The bootcut leg openings provide you with plenty of space to fit over your work boots. They have a zipper fly with a button closure, and five convenient pockets.
