Workwear

Why you need workwear

Wearing the right workwear can make a world of difference to your comfort, safety and efficiency. Workwear should keep you warm and dry, but it's also about having the necessary freedom of movement and protection that different tasks require. Dressing properly for the job gives you more freedom of movement and better protection against workplace challenges — whether it's a construction site, workshop, or DIY projects at home.

What characterises good workwear?

Good workwear is, first and foremost, about comfort. It should be comfortable to wear all day and keep you warm during the cold months - especially if you work outside.

In addition, fit also plays a role. Clothes should be easy to move around in so that they don't hinder your work. Clothes that are too loose or too tight can easily restrict movement.

Good workwear also ensures visibility and safety, with reflective details or bright colours that make you visible in the dark. Visibility is especially important when working outdoors or in busy areas, where it can significantly increase your safety.

Another important factor is functionality. Pockets, straps and tool holders are practical details that make it easier to keep everything you need close at hand. For those who work on their knees, reinforced knees or built-in knee pad pockets are also necessary to protect your knees.

The choice of material is also a crucial factor when it comes to good workwear. Typically, workwear is made from robust materials such as cotton, polyester or a combination that provides a good balance between strength and mobility. Some workwear is also water-repellent or extra durable, making it suitable for outdoor tasks.

At Biltema, we have a large selection of durable workwear for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Our range covers everything from tops and bottoms to coveralls and reflective clothing. We have something for every taste and need, and all our workwear is practical, durable and comfortable to wear.

Tops

At Biltema, you'll find a wide range of tops for all work tasks — from t-shirts and shirts to jackets and sweatshirts. Our work t-shirts and shirts are made from durable materials that ensure comfort and breathability throughout the day. They're functional garments that work well for lighter tasks and can easily be combined with a work sweatshirt or work jacket if the temperature demands it.

Our work sweatshirts are stretchy and comfortable, providing extra warmth on those cooler working days. For outdoor work, we offer robust work jackets with reinforced seams, practical pockets and reflective details to keep you visible and safe in demanding conditions.

Bottoms

Among the range of workwear, Biltema offers a wide selection of work trousers that ensure comfort and durability, no matter the task. Our all-round trousers are ideal for those who need trousers that can handle a little bit of everything. With robust construction and practical pockets, they can be used for both light and demanding tasks on a versatile workday.

For the warmer months, our work shorts are an obvious choice. They give you the same functionality as our trousers but offer extra ventilation and freedom of movement.

For the craftsman who requires extra functionality, we offer craftsman trousers for both men and women. The trousers are equipped with reinforced knees and multiple pockets, so you have room for all your equipment, while the stretch panels ensure good flexibility.

For those looking for a more professional look, our service trousers are a good choice. They combine a stylish design with practical details while providing a comfortable fit.

Coveralls

At Biltema, you'll find a selection of coveralls that ensure comfort and protection, no matter what type of work you do. Our range includes both overalls and coveralls, so you always have the right equipment for the job.

Coveralls give you full freedom of movement while protecting your clothes from dirt and wear. They have several handy pockets for storing tools and small items so you can keep everything close at hand. These overalls are robust and can withstand many hours of work on the construction site, in the workshop or in the garden.

For more demanding conditions, we also offer disposable coveralls designed to protect you from dust, dirt, and liquids. The suits are lightweight and breathable, so you can work comfortably.

Workwear for kids

We also have durable and comfortable workwear for kids who like to be on the sidelines. Our range includes work jackets, trousers and fleece jackets specially designed for the little helpers. All workwear is available in several sizes, so you can easily find a fit that gives your child freedom of movement and comfort - whether for play or small projects in the garden.

Reflective clothing

We also offer a wide range of reflective clothing to ensure you are seen in the dark and can work safely and effectively in all conditions. Our range includes reflective trousers, reflective jackets and reflective vests, all combining visibility, comfort and functionality.

Our reflective jackets are ideal for outdoor work in both daylight and darkness, as they have visible reflective stripes and are made from durable materials. A pair of reflective trousers provides extra protection and visibility for the legs, and our reflective vests are lightweight and easy to wear over other clothing.

Do you need accessories for your workwear?

The right accessories can help you get the most out of your workwear. At Biltema, you'll find a wide range of practical accessories to ensure both comfort and efficiency while working. Work gloves are an essential piece of equipment and are available in several variants to protect your hands from abrasion, cold, and injury - whatever the task at hand.

If you spend many hours on your knees, a pair of knee pads is indispensable. They relieve and protect your knees from impact and hard surfaces so you can work comfortably all day long. We also offer braces in our range to make sure your trousers stay where they should - without being tight.

When it comes to comfort, don't underestimate a good pair of socks. Our models are durable and designed to provide both warmth and breathability. With a tool belt, you'll always have the tools you need at your fingertips, making your work more efficient and organised.

FAQ´s

How do I wash and care for my workwear?

To maintain the quality and functionality of your workwear, it's important to follow the washing instructions carefully. In general, workwear should be washed at a low temperature, and you should also avoid using the tumble dryer to prevent shrinkage. Use a mild detergent and avoid bleach to prolong the garment's life. 

What safety features should I look for in workwear?

Workwear should be safe and protective. Look for features like reflective details for visibility, reinforced areas like knees and elbows for extra durability and protection, and water-repellent materials. Clothes with plenty of pockets can also help to store tools safely. 

How do I choose the right outdoor workwear?

When choosing outdoor workwear, you need to consider the weather and working conditions. Clothing that is waterproof, windproof, and breathable is ideal for working outdoors in cold weather. Also, make sure it has reflective details for visibility and is robust enough to withstand abrasion and dirt.
