Milwaukee Tool expands their personal protective equipment (PPE) lineup with a new
Cooling category, providing solutions to help heat stress concerns on the jobsite. Including a
skull cap, sweat bands for both safety helmets and hard hats, a safety helmet liner and two
cooling towels, this new category helps users stay cool while working in sunlight or in non-
ventilated areas.
Hazardous heat exposure can occur indoors or outdoors and during any season, putting
millions of workers at risk for heat stress. Heat stress occurs when the body cannot effectively
cool down, causing the internal body temperature to rise, which can lead to illnesses such as heat
exhaustion or heat stroke. To build awareness of the hazards of heat stress and how to keep users
safe, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) launched a Heat Emphasis
program in April 2022. Using cooling measures, such as Milwaukee’s new Cooling solutions,
can help mitigate heat stress from hazardous heat exposure.
The new cooling towels and BOLT™ accessories are quickly activated by running or
submerging under water, achieving full absorption in only 30 seconds. When activated, the heat
stress solutions wick away moisture and heat for up to four hours of cooling time, providing a
natural cooling sensation as the water evaporates. Once dry, users can repeat the activation
process.
Milwaukee Tool’s new Cooling solutions demonstrate their focus on creating innovative
solutions that won’t slow users down, helping them STAY SAFE. STAY PRODUCTIVE™.
Compatible with Milwaukee’s Safety Helmets and Hard Hats, their new Cooling Skull
Cap features microfiber technology and four-way stretch material for long-lasting comfort. Part
of the BOLT™ Accessory System, users can secure accessories simultaneously to their
Milwaukee head protection.
Compatible with Milwaukee’s Safety helmets, the Safety Helmet Cooling Liner provides
long-lasting comfort with its soft, comfortable padding. This liner is part of the BOLT™
Accessory System, users can secure accessories simultaneously to their Milwaukee head
protection.
Specifically designed to be compatible with either Milwaukee’s Hard Hats or Safety
Helmets, the two Cooling Sweat Bands feature soft, comfortable padding for long-lasting
comfort. Both sweat bands are part of the BOLT™ Accessory System, allowing users to secure
accessories simultaneously to their Milwaukee head protection.
Milwaukee’s Microfiber Cooling Towel is designed to be worn both indoors and outdoors
to keep cool on the jobsite. For added protection, both the Microfiber Cooling Towel and PVA
Cooling Towel feature a UPF 50+ rating to block harmful UV rays.
Milwaukee Tool continues their dedication to solving frustrations in comfort, movement,
and protection from the elements with two new additions to their workwear collections;
WORKSKIN™ and FREEFLEX™. These products were developed with feedback from users
across the trades through continuous jobsite research, ensuring solutions benefit productivity in
all jobsite conditions.
Milwaukee WORKSKIN™ solutions are built to fight sweat and include cold and warm
weather garments engineered to regulate temperature. The Milwaukee WORKSKIN™ Hooded
Sun Shirt is engineered with a custom sweat-wicking fabric that pulls moisture away from the
body and dries quickly to keep users dry and comfortable. Built to protect on the hottest days,
this Sun Shirt provides UPF 50+ Sun Protection and odor-fighting fabric that combats odor
build-up while working.
Built for movement, Milwaukee FREEFLEX™ Workwear collection provides an
enhanced range of motion with materials that are purposefully engineered for stretch and
flexibility. The Milwaukee FREEFLEX™ Unlined Bib Overalls are engineered to move freely
with a lightweight, four-way stretch fabric and custom crotch gusset, which allows for effortless
kneeling and crouching. Designed for year-round use, the unlined bibs provide jobsite durability
with triple stitched high wear zones covering the legs and back and a reinforced nine-pocket
design.
