Extreme Conditions, Extreme Jobs

When you think of the American workers that work in extreme conditions such as construction, logging, deep sea fishing, coal mining and oil rigging (just to name a few), most of us automatically think of men holding these jobs. While it's true that these jobs usually have a higher man to woman ratio, let's not forget that there are women working in these jobs and are very capable doing so. Over the years more and more women are proving they can hold their own when it comes to working in extreme conditions.

Workwear for Women 

For the extreme jobs women need protective clothing too

For years the designing and manufacturing of workwear has been made with the man's body in mind, not the woman's. So the bib overall's, coverall's and thermals that are needed for protection in extreme weather were made in men's sizes to, of course fit men.

One company that is forging ahead and looking to the future in women's workwear is the Carhartt clothing line. For over 119 years Carhartt has been a leader in manufacturing quality clothing for those who work or play in the outdoors. In 2007 the company launched a Carhartt for Women line of women's workwear that is nothing short of perfection. Style and fashion come together with safety in mind. They use the same premium fabrics and tough-as-nails construction that they do for their men's workwear, resulting in a line of coats, jackets, jeans, shirts, sweats, vests and more that's authentically Carhartt, and made exclusively for women. Tough workwear for women with tough jobs!

Clothes make the ... woman! 

With today's extreme jobs women need protection too.

Today Carhartt has seven workwear collections emphasizing durability, comfort and quality for men and women:

Soft Shell Outerwear Collection
1889 Jeans Collection
Work-Dry Collection
Extremes Collection
Waterproof Collection
Carhartt Rainwear Collection
Carhartt WorkCamo Collection

So next time you're thinking about the American Worker of today, don't be so quick to assume that it's only men that work as lumberjacks or logging or on the big oil rigs. Women are right there working with them. Carhartt understands that Mother Nature doesn't care if it's a man or a woman that has to make a living outside, she's still going to bring on the rain, wind, snow, and sleet. Speaking on behalf of every woman that wears Carhartt and braves the elements, "Bring it on Mother Nature!"
