<h1>Workwear for warm weather: T-shirts, polo shirts and work shorts</h1>
<p>What workwear do you wear when temperatures rise and you still have a full day's work ahead of you? On this page you'll find all Tricorp items suited for warm weather — from T-shirts and polo shirts with moisture-wicking or UV-protective properties to work shorts with stretch and safety certifications. A practical overview of what works when it's hot.</p>
<h2>Why choosing the right workwear in warm weather really makes a difference</h2>
<p>A common question is: does it matter what you wear when it's hot, as long as you're dressed lightly? The answer is yes — and the difference is greater than most people think. Regular cotton shirts absorb sweat but dry slowly, leading to a clammy feeling, added weight in the fabric and skin irritation during prolonged wear. Workwear with moisture-wicking properties — such as Cooldry — actively transports moisture away from the skin to the outer surface of the fabric, where it evaporates quickly. This keeps you drier and reduces overheating during physical work.</p>
<p>Another frequently asked question concerns UV protection: is a regular shirt sufficient as sun protection? Standard lightweight fabrics offer very little protection against UV radiation. Workwear with UV Block technology meets the EN 13758 standard (UPF 40+), meaning that at least 97.5% of UV radiation is blocked. For those who work outdoors in direct sunlight for extended periods — think landscaping, road construction or outdoor maintenance — this is not a luxury but a serious protective measure. Long sleeves with UV Block provide more protection than short sleeves, even on warm days.</p>
<p>Finally: why wear work shorts instead of regular shorts? Work shorts are built for the demands of the job: reinforced seams, knee sections, tool pockets and stretch materials that move with you when kneeling, bending and climbing. Casual shorts don't offer this and wear out considerably faster.</p>
<h2>T-shirts and polo shirts suitable for warm weather</h2>
<p>Within the Tricorp range, fitted T-shirts and <a href="https://www.tricorp.com/en/collections/werkpolos">work polo shirts</a> with Cooldry technology are available in two versions: a bamboo variant for extra wearing comfort against the skin and a standard version. Both wick moisture quickly and dry fast, making them suitable for physically active roles in warm environments.</p>
<p>For outdoor work in direct sunlight, there are T-shirts and polo shirts with UV Block Cooldry — both featuring long sleeves and certified UV protection (EN 13758, UPF 40+). The long sleeve combined with the lightweight, moisture-wicking fabric makes them wearable on warm days, while effectively shielding the skin.
