Durable, waterproof, high-visibility workwear now in stock
Working outside is never a walk in the park. When spring weather turns from snow to rain and temperatures bounce between hot and cold, it gets even worse. That’s why contractors, landscapers, and trade professionals turn to RefrigiWear for durable, waterproof workwear to keep them safe, comfortable and dry through unpredictable spring weather.
Best known for inventing the original minus-50 freezer suit in 1954, RefrigiWear offers the world’s largest selection of insulated and weather-ready personal protective equipment (PPE) for people working in the extreme cold of ice cream freezers, refrigerated food processing facilities, and subzero cold storage warehouses.
“People who work outdoors in unpredictable and uncomfortable conditions are now discovering what their cold chain counterparts have known for more than 70 years: that RefrigiWear workwear, boots, and gloves are the most durable, comfortable and weather-ready gear you can get,” says Leigh Stadelmeier, Authorized OSHA Outreach Trainer and Vice President of Outdoor Sales at RefrigiWear.
Lightweight, waterproof PPE is a must-have for people working outdoors in the spring, explains Stadelmeier.
RefrigiWear products such as the 3-in1 Rainwear Jacket, available in black or high-visibility lime, deliver flexible, all-day, all-weather protection. The heavy-duty outer shell is waterproof, and the hood rolls handily into the collar when not in use. When the weather turns cool, zip in the inner quilted jacket for extra warmth, comfort, and protection.
That’s not the only RefrigiWear gear that pulls double-duty this spring.
The HiVis Reversible Softshell Vest easily works a split shift with a high-visibility side for on-the-job safety and a reversible solid black side for off-the-clock style. The high-visibility side is available in orange or lime and includes silver reflective tape to meet both ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 – Type R, Class 2 and CSA Z96 – Class 2, Level 2 standards.
For people wading across muddy job sites, RefrigiWear delivers a range of lightweight, waterproof work shoes.
Stadelmeier says the RefrigiWear customers working with concrete or operating pressure washers prefer the uninsulated and chemical-resistant EnduraMax™ Processing Boot. Built with a 16” pull-on upper, ASTM steel safety toe and a non-slip outsole with a CSA puncture-resistant plate for protection, this boot keeps moisture and overspray away the feet.
Contractors and HVAC technicians prefer the lightly insulated Black Widow™ Boot, available in both men’s and women’s sizes, with its VitaComfort moisture-management and shock absorption insoles, ASTM composite safety toe and durable Vibram® outsole for working in wet spring weather.

RefrigiWear, a 70-year pioneer in safety apparel and insulated PPE for winter workers, now delivers two high-visibility versions of its best-selling insulated softshell bib overalls.
Available in high-visibility lime or high-visibility orange, the HiVis Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls are perfect for plumbers, pipefitters, tower climbers and road construction workers who need to stay warm and visbile in cold, wet weather.
Ready for Rough Weather
HiVis Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls from RefrigiWear give workers the protection they need to get the toughest jobs done, even in temperatures as cold as -20°F. With a wind-tight and water-repellent outershell to guard against rain, sleet, snow and icy winds, these bibs help workers stay warm, dry and focused on the job.
Working through rough weather requires outerwear tough enough to take on the cold without falling apart. Abrasion-resistant patches and reinforcements help these insulated overalls stand up to tough work, especially when the job requires kneeling, squatting or climbing. Two rows of durable silver reflective tape are bonded, not stitched, on the legs to avoid snagging on equipment or unraveling with long use.
Warm, Comfortable & Functional
When the wind chill falls below freezing, most folks would rather head for home. For those who must stay and face the freeze, HiVis Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls deliver over 400 grams of lightweight, synthetic insulation. Plus, a silver heat-reflecting lining traps escaping body heat and reflects it back to the wearer for extra warmth and comfort.
Adjustable Y-back suspenders provide higher coverage for the back and torso. This design protects the vulnerable organs in the core from the cold without limiting range of motion in the shoulders, so workers can swing hammers, lift lumber or simply stretch their arms in complete comfort. Above-knee leg zippers make it quick and easy to step in or out of these overalls, so there’s no need to waste time removing boots when workers need to warm up or cool down quickly.
Safety Standards for Visibility
The high-visibility outershell materials and reflective silver tape on these bibs meet American and Canadian standards for safety on hazardous job sites. Both the high-visibility lime and high-visibility orange styles meet ANSI/ISA 107-2020 Class E and CSA Z96 Class 2, Level 2 standards.
Available in Extended Men’s Sizes
Available in extended men’s sizes from small to 5XL, HiVis Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls protect workers from cold, wet and windy conditions without compromising warmth, visibility or range of motion.
Complete Protection from Cold, Wet Winter Weather
When temperatures are freezing and falling fast, the secret to staying safe on the job is staying warm and staying visible. HiVis Insulated Softshell Bib Overalls coordinate perfectly with other garments, gloves and waterproof work boots from RefrigiWear, including the HiVis Insulated Softshell Jacket and several insulated hoodies and thermal sweatshirts in high-visibility colors.

Insulated Workwear Leader Delivers Updated Safety Workwear for National Safety Month
RefrigiWear, the largest supplier of insulated work apparel for the cold chain and outdoor construction industries, announces additional high-visibility colors for one of its most popular lightweight work jackets in advance of National Safety Month. The HiVis Diamond Quilted Jacket is now available and ready to ship in both high-visibility lime and high-visibility orange colors.
“This lightweight jacket is a recent addition to our popular EnduraQuilt™ Collection and is preferred by people working outdoors in the milder conditions of spring and fall,” explains Mitch Harden, Vice President of Sales for RefrigiWear’s B2B Outdoor division.
“We originally designed this jacket in high-visibility orange for people working in rail transportation. But requests for the same jacket in high-visibility lime came pouring in from people working in other areas where yellow is the preferred safety color, as well as from people working in other sectors, such as residential construction and state DOT organizations,” explains Harden.
Both the high-visibility orange and the new high-visibility lime versions of the jacket are designed to meet ANSI/ISEA 107-2020 – Type R, Class 3 and CSA Z96 – Class 2, Level 2 standards with double-rows of silver reflective tape around the waist and arms, as well as an X pattern on the back.
The durable, industrial-strength outershell is both wind-tight and water-repellent, so it’s ideal for protecting people working in the unpredictable weather of late spring, especially across the northern US and in higher elevations. The jacket is also lightly insulated and comfort-rated for temperatures as low as 30°F, delivering comfortable protection from the springtime chill for those working during the overnight hours.
