Working on a farm brings a range of challenges that are unique to the industry, and one of these is finding the right clothing to keep you warm and dry as you work. Here at HoofCare Direct, we have a great range of waterproof products that will suit your lifestyle and your budget.
Farm wear is designed to protect you while you are caring for your animals or working in the fields, and your comfort and freedom of movement will help you to do the best job possible. Investing in the right gear will save you a lot of hassle and discomfort and we’ll always be happy to help you find the right equipment and clothing for yourself and your farm workers.
Essential Farm Wear
Comfortable, practical clothing that is designed for farm work is ideal to protect against the elements and the potential hazards that arise in your daily work, such as the medications and chemicals you work with. Ideally, you’ll want several layers so that you can adapt to the weather and the nature of your tasks, and we recommend the following essentials:
Waterproof jacket. A good waterproof jacket is a must have item when you’re working outdoors, especially in an unpredictable climate like Ireland’s. This Hydrowear Breathable (No Sweat) Rain Jacket is designed with hardwearing lifestyles in mind, with flap and press stud closures and elasticised sleeves to keep out the rain and dirt. The fixed hood and breathable (NO SWEAT) mesh polyester lining are designed to ensure your comfort as you work on the farm.
Waterproof trousers. Waterproof NO SWEAT trousers are a vital part of your outfit, especially when you’re out and about on the farm. We recommend the Hydrowear Breathable (NO SWEAT) Over Trouser, a high quality option that is strong and durable enough to stand up to the toughest jobs. We are impressed with the comprehensive testing process and you can rely on the double taped seams, breathable lining and adjustable ankles to keep you comfortable all day long.
Bib & Brace Over Trouser. The breathable NO SWEAT Bib & Brace Over Trouser is an excellent choice for general farm work as well as the messier tasks, and includes elasticised adjustable straps for comfort and a close fit. Adjustable legs with press studs mean you can adapt the fit to your preferences and to the clothing you wear underneath, and the breathable lining will ensure that you feel comfortable whatever the weather.
Hoof Trimming Apron. Hoof trimming is a messy job and a hoof trimming apron can help to keep you clean and tidy as you work. This Hoof Trimming Apron with Knife Holders is a high quality option that is designed for convenience and comfort, and made with eco leather to give you peace of mind that you’re doing your bit for the planet, too. It’s a practical choice that is waterproof, so it can be washed at high pressure, and includes knife holders to streamline the job and ensure you have everything you need close to hand.
Wrist Protector. Protect your wrists when using sharp tools such as hoof trimming knives when hoof trimming. Wrist protectors can also be used in the milking parlor to ensure that your clothes are protected and that your arms do not become contaminated. Our neoprene Wrist Protector comes in a range of sizes and provides a barrier between your hands and the rest of your body, keeping you safer and more comfortable at work.
