Get Jobsite Tough with Helly Hansen Workwear!

Helly Hansen Workwear

Helly Hansen Workwear

[sponsored] With the hottest of the summer months behind us, we are moving into the cooler months of autumn on the jobsite. While Helly Hansen is frequently seen on snowy slopes and high seas, their tradition of quality and protection actually originated in premium workwear.

Helly Juell Hansen (age 35) in 1875 began producing oilskin jackets, trousers, and other waterproof gear made from coarse linen soaked in linseed oil. After winning many awards throughout the years, Helly Hansen has evolved into one of the world’s most trusted apparel from skiing to sailing and everything in between.

With their illustrious history and unparalleled quality in the outdoors, Helly Hansen Workwear (HHWW) makes it easier for you to get the job done regardless of the conditions.

The Chelsea Collection has been talked about before on this blog with the introduction of the Chelsea Construction Pant. There are plenty of combinations through Helly Hansen’s workwear collection and below are just a few that will thrive through the end of 2017 and on.

CHELSEA SHORTS

Reinforced by Cordura, these shorts will give you the toughness expected from Helly Hansen while also providing reprieve from the unrelenting heat of summer. Known for its durability and resistance to scuffs and scrapes, Cordura ensures strength in products from backpacks and performance apparel to military wear. In addition, Cordura protects against abrasion resistance extremely well while still keeping you light during those long, hot days. With two large thigh pockets (w/ flaps), a velcro closure for accessories, and belt loops with click-on functionality, you’ll have the convenience of the Chelsea Construction Pant but with more mobility and venting.

CHELSEA BIB

Use an industry standard employed by working professionals for over 140 years with Helly Hansen’s Chelsea Construction Bib. The bib has a lightweight and highly durable cotton mix construction for everyday comfort. Sporting a Cordura reinforced knee, bottom hem, and hanging pockets for long lasting durability, this bib is meant to last. Effective, integrated pockets for knee pads offer convenience not seen in other workwear bibs while reflective details and a raised back will give you the comfort you’re looking for with a perfect fit for any situation.

CHELSEA LINED JACKET

With fall/winter approaching, the Chelsea Lined Jacket will be a necessity when temperatures drop and the work continues! This jacket will keep you protected and dry from whatever conditions while also keeping you warm with its pile interior when the weather goes awry. With insulated shoulders, brushed polyester inside the collar and cuffs, and reflective elements, you’ll feel safer and warmer than ever in one of Helly Hansen’s top workwear jackets.

[VIDEO] Baubot, the Robot That Wants to Be Every Trade on the Jobsite
Apr 28, 2021

While still new in the construction industries, robots are typically designed to perform a specific task in a highly precise and efficient way, like the rebar tying robot, Tybot or the brick-laying robot Hadrian X. More recently, though, robots are being imagined as platforms for 3rd party companies to develop hardware and accessories to attach to the base robot, like the Boston Dynamics robotic dog, Spot. I recently came across a new robot, called Baubot, which hopes to one day perform tasks using every tool on a typical jobsite.

Doosan Announces Industry First “Transparent Bucket” to Wheel Loader to Eliminate Blind Spots
Mar 15, 2021

“You make a better door than a window!” is what I imagine loader operators constantly yell at the bucket in front of them (or maybe I’m just projecting based on my experience of having the habit of sitting right in front of the TV as a kid). Either way, operators may not be yelling that in the future, as equipment manufacturer, Doosan, has introduced what they claim is an industry first “transparent” bucket.

Cool Tools: World’s First Dry Cut 7-1/2” Portable Tile Saw
Mar 8, 2021

Reducing dust when cutting tile is important for many reasons (including safety and cleanliness), but wet tile saws can be a pain to use, with the slurry created spraying all around the work station and cold weather making the saw much more difficult to use outside. iQ Power Tools has a solution for that: the world’s first 7” portable dry table saw with integrated dust control.

Like most of the other electric machines that have been announced previously, Volvo promises that this midsized, 14 metric ton excavator will have the same performance as a similarly sized diesel version. The X03 is currently in the concept stage, so Volvo does not have immediate plans to bring it to market, but it shows the possibilities that electronics on heavy machinery can allow for.
