another tip if you buy Carhart clothing most of it runs a little big in sizes. I wear a large but medium in Carhart is perfect

fact. my jacket is a large and too big. and im 6' 190ish

So do yall think it will be cold enough to get that full suite or should I get the overalls and then just a jacket?

[whitetrash]

ild just get the suit. have a decent jacket for back up if the suit is too much

Let me check my crystal ball!

Dude, how long have you lived here? Layer up, if that doesn't work the very next day you can go buy overalls and a coat. This is Texas not Alaska. lol

I wear walls blizzardproof bibs and a jacket, that way if my arms get hot or I need to work on something on a car that the sleeves interfere with my body still stays warm

I swim in my pool every morning year round. The water cools off faster then the outside weather and I get used to the cold real fast. By the middle of the winter I am working in a t-shirt and thin 511 cargo pants with 40 degree outside temps.

this!

I didn’t like the neoprene masks so I took a bandana and a old fleece blanket and made a face mask with Velcro in the back for easy on off.

The one I had was apparently "old school". It had velcro behind the neck. But I haven't seen one like it in some time. Definitely much better than the over-the-head styles.

Iv had a DIckies brand coveralls and I didnt like them very much. I ended up getting a set of Walls blizzard overalls and unless it was 15 degrees outside Id get too hot. I kept a set of Walls blizzard overalls and Walls blizzard bib. I mostly wore the bib with a a sweat shirt. But if your up on cell towers you'll probably be wearing a pair of coveralls all of the time due to the wind chill.
Spend some money on a good pair of gloves and youll be fine. Working in the elements seems like it would be miserable but I really enjoy it. You'll get acclimated to it pretty quickly.

I work at the same place with a guy that wore thongs.

Uhm, what?

I used to wear carhartt or dickies... I actually went to the WALLS store off 35 and risinger they have stuff on sale all the time. I got a super nice jacket with hoodie that keeps me warmer than my carhartt did and at half the price. Also picked up some dickie insulated coveralls for 25$ on sale.

I dont climb towers so wind will be your issue. But I work on the tx highways and drive sand trucks for txdot. Half out trucks heaters suck.. my problem is finding socks that keep my toes warm.

Lol! No different than thermals, really...

That's like saying panties are no different that undies.

Man card still revoked.
