Bear Grips Pro ShopsConstruction Winter Apparel: Cold-Weather Layering for the Crew
- Construction winter apparel covers the branded layer between thermal underwear and outerwear: hoodies, crewnecks, quarter-zips, long-sleeves, and winter beanies.
- For deep-winter outerwear (canvas jackets, lined coats), traditional workwear vendors handle the outer shell.
- The catalog covers everything between the base layer and the outer jacket with the company logo.
- No minimum order, free US shipping in about a week.
Construction winter apparel is a layering problem. The base thermal underwear comes from one place; the outer canvas jacket comes from another. Bear Grips Pro Shops handles everything in between with the company logo: long-sleeve tees, midweight hoodies, premium fleeces, quarter-zip pullovers, crewnecks, and embroidered winter beanies. The branded middle layer is what reads as "this crew is from [your company]" all winter.
The Winter Layering System for Construction Crews
A complete winter construction kit layers in this order:
- Base layer (thermal underwear, base shirt): Sourced through traditional workwear vendors. Not in the Pro Shops catalog.
- Long-sleeve tee with company logo: Cotton or moisture-wicking. Sits over the base layer.
- Midweight hoodie, crewneck, or quarter-zip: Branded outer-mid layer. Carries the company identity.
- Outer jacket (canvas, lined, insulated): Sourced through workwear vendors. The branded layer underneath is visible whenever the jacket is unzipped.
- Winter beanie with embroidered logo: Pro Shops catalog. Fits under or replaces the hard hat depending on context.
Most general contractors stock the long-sleeve, the hoodie, the quarter-zip, and the winter beanie from Pro Shops and source the outer jacket and base layer elsewhere.

Winter construction apparel reads differently in the seasonal light:
- Charcoal and heather gray: Versatile, hides dirt and dust, photographs well in winter light.
- Navy and forest green: Professional, classic winter palette.
- Black: Hides everything, slimming, looks polished in client meetings.
- Safety yellow (winter beanies and hi-vis layers): For visibility in low winter light and on snowy sites where contrast matters.
Avoid white and light gray in winter apparel: snow melt, road salt, and mud show fast on light-colored pieces. Most winter wardrobes lean dark.

Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Does the catalog include insulated canvas jackets?
No. The catalog covers the branded soft-good layer: long-sleeves, hoodies, crewnecks, quarter-zips, beanies. For insulated work jackets, lined canvas coats, and bib overalls, sourcing happens through traditional workwear vendors. Most GCs run both: branded mid-layer from Pro Shops and outer jacket from a workwear vendor.
Can a winter beanie fit under a hard hat?
A thin cuffed winter beanie typically fits under a standard hard hat. For deeper cold, some crews use hard-hat-rated winter liners with the company branding embroidered on the front. Those liner pieces are sourced through dedicated safety vendors.
How early should the winter apparel order happen?
Mid-October is the standard target. Order four to six weeks before the first deep cold of the year so the apparel is in hand before crews need it. For Done-For-You VIP customers, the shop advisor handles seasonal timing automatically.
Are the sweatpants and joggers warm enough for outdoor winter work?
The cotton-blend joggers and sweatpants are mid-weight and not insulated. They work for above-freezing winter conditions or as a mid-layer under workwear pants. For deep-winter outdoor work, insulated bib overalls from a workwear vendor are the right outer layer; branded joggers can sit underneath as the base layer.
