Best Hard Hat Cooling Accessories

The weather's getting warmer and summer is on its way, which is great if you're planning a day at the beach, but for construction workers it means hot, sweaty and gruelling days ahead. Most construction workers will have to wear heavy gloves, boots and others equipment to stay safe on site, making the hot weather even harder to deal with. Luckily, there are a few effective methods to help you cool down on-site, and many of them are more sophisticated than just dousing your head in water once in a while.

A searing hot hard hat can make summer construction work difficult and miserable

How to Stay Cool On-Site

One of the worst culprits when it comes to overheating on-site is the hard hat, as it often leaves few vents for breathability, and can get hot to the touch after hours under the sun. At SafetyGloves.co.uk, we know about more than just gloves, and we stock some novel inventions to help your hard hat stay cool on those hottest of summer days. We've put together a list of the products we think are best for cooling down your hard hat during the summer months, helping you stay chilled out and comfortable in any sort of weather
