Work Clothing & Footwear Reviews & Buying Guides

We looked at the best work boots to determine which types of work boots make for the most comfortable footwear for various tradesmen and applications. In the end, technology has made several jumps to provide both durability and comfort for workmen and women who spend a lot of time on their feet. We also tested the best heated jacket to find which represented the best value and had optimal heating characteristics. After testing nearly every major brand on the market—for women and men—we have a very thorough perspective on these valuable pieces of heated gear! Another often overlooked piece of workwear includes shirts, work pants, shorts, and the best work gloves. We get these in regularly from manufacturers with decades of experience fitting tradesmen with durable, reliable work clothes.

One of the oddest, but strangely compelling products we saw at the 2010 Milwaukee New Tools Press Event was their M12 Cordless Heated Jacket. A battery powered jacket? Oh yeah – and why not, with much of the country (our own Florida excepted) having to deal with freezing temperatures, snow and all manner of uncomfortable working environments. While we don’t envision needing this too often in Southern climates, the jacket was really an effective solution that made unique and clever use of the existing M12 battery technology.
