My welding career had me contracting the welding and fabrication of many large diameter Pipelines. Often we worked in -20 degree weather on the riverbank. Apparel was : Two pair of full length long johns. One heavy flannel shirt, Blue jeans, two pair socks and rubber boots, also a full leather jacket. Always kept warm and never felt cold. Hat was atypical welders cap.
I'm with you Austin, I shod horses for 37 yrs, first 20 in Arizona, 17 in Illinois. When the composit toe first came out I was on the band wagon. They didn't get hot or cold and they were lighter. I was sold on Wolverine, with durashock soles and composit toes, in the winter I would wear insulated Wolverines and one pair wool blend socks worked year round. My feet never got cold. Wranglers and armor type long underwear. That was it down low :) I'm no pipeline welder but I can get things stuck together ! Like your channel man. Stay humble, God bless !
SO HOOD DUDE! Hey man here's a tip for you. Something I learned in the service is when in the field, change your socks once every 5 hours or so! Wipe your feet dry with a towel (wash them if you can, but not mandatory). But get them dry and put on fresh clean socks. Your feet will love you and you'll find they will stay warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer! I worked outside in all sorts of weather here in the Northeast and New England for 30+ years and your feet will love you for the care you take of them! Also this gives your boots a chance to get some fresh air in there and dry out a little. If you can change into different boots after work, that will help as well! Stay warm! ✌
Yep changing socks at least once a day helps out bigtime. Always keep extra dry socks at work. Hang the wet ones to dry out. You might need them later in the day.
Coming from Minnesota a HUUGE help is the Milwaukee heated vest or jacket. Run off a little m12 battery and they keep a guy super warm. To the point I don’t even think about a jacket until it’s -25°f or so. Also the big tip on keeping warm is sweat management. Start as thin as possible with compression, and then work out to thick and loose. It keeps you way warmer and keeps your free range of motion that way. And in the winter for mud boots I wear just regular over boots, my regular thorogood work boots, with a good pair of wool socks, and then I believe Rocky makes the electric Heated insole so you can turn it up or down or off depending on the temp or sweat. Runs off 2 AA batteries so it’s super convenient also
Carhartt!! Especially the hoodies, vests. My feet are perpetually cold, changing my socks at lunch (if time allows) always helps allot. Just went thru my "cold bag" soon as the weather turns it lives in my truck. It's a Ruck sack with my bibs, neck gator, socks etc. THANKS & take care Austin!
So hood. Dickies and Carhartt is what I use. And I’ve learned from experience that in cold weather layers work best. I was raised in Louisiana and lived in the cold of Michigan for close to ten years. This southern man learned quick how to be a polar bear in the cold.
Thanks for your videos Austin! I’m a student at Kentucky Welding Institute and am working hard to learn a new skill. Good gear helps tremendously. I use Red Wing safety toe work boots that are insulated and lined with Gore Tex. The insulation helps with the cold, and the Gore Tex keeps the water out. So hood!
Wade Wittman so far KWI has exceeded my expectations. I looked at MWI as well and chose KWI because they are an AWS accredited testing facility, all of the welding certifications and non welding training they offer. KWI also offers paid co-ops with companies that hire students while the students are still in school. KWI even brings in recruiters to talk to students about the companies that are hiring. I could go on and on, but for me, KWI was the right choice.
Awesome tips buddy! Carhartt everything. For boots, I still wear my issued cold weather boots from the Army. They are Belleville 775 cold weather boot tan with 100% alpaca wool socks. So Hood
I have grown to like the Deluth flex fit fire hose pants for movement and durability. Yes they are more expensive but they are lifetime warranty; and yes, I have exchanged many a pair. They also make super warm upper outer wear as well. Those boys from Minnesota know a thing about freezing temps.
So hood. Honestly if you’re looking for a good rubber boot for mud or anything my personal preference is a brand called Quatro. The boots was designed and invented by dairy farmers in New Zealand. The comfort and quality it unbeatable. They’re cool in the summer but in the winter with a wool sock they’ll keep your feet warm down to -15 without insulation in the boots! I know that personally because last year at the farm it got that cold and I was fine. You can find them on amazon for about $100
So Hood I’m a environmental specialist at at landfill and I’m in and out of the weather the tips you gave on clothing is going to be helpful thanks for sharing
Just watching this video again and you asked about mud boots. I use xtratuff. I used them as a commercial fisherman and you can get them insulated and non insulated. I like the insulated ones for winter. But they are not made to go over other boots. The insulated ones are pretty warm.
SO HOOD!! Now to gear up thanks Austin for all the weather gear advice. Looking forward to wearing some Industrial Tradition gear. Already on the email list!
You guys earn your money for sure! It seems there are 10 days a year that are perfect for welding. The rest are too hot or too cold. The cold hands and feet deal, I feel your pain.
So hood! Nomex hoods that firefighters wear are warm too. I got a couple from when I was a volunteer fireman. Carhartt is the best for me. Tough stuff tried and true.
Muddog 2 by Georgia boot best boots ever I work in a scrap yard and as you can imagine conditions are pretty dang rough ,I usually go thru 4 pairs of boots a year so I've tried them all ! Muddog 2 you will not be disappointed !
So hood! I’ve found the hard part so far this season has been the temperature swing. Here in Northern Utah it was in the low 20’s on the job in the morning and by the end of the day it was in the mid to upper 60’s. Layering is a must!
I've worked in as cold as 52 below , lots of 20 and 30 below key is layered clothes and loose fitting. Long johns, sweat pants , a second pair of sweat pants if needed . bib type coveralls . Full non bib coveralls will constrict your movement . Top T-shirt ,denim welding shirt , light hoody , heavy hoody , 1/4 leather jacket or full jacket . Boots loose fitting with removeable felt liners (Sorels at the time) remove the liners at night and let them dry socks wool type 2 pair if needed . Gloves to, loose fitting with fuzzy liners not the woven cotton . If they are tight you will freeze . clothes are wet or damp you will freeze .Always had more clothes in the truck Even my 200 Lincoln welding machine was winterized . circulating block heat, snap on radiator cover if I didn't put the suck fan on , cold weather oil synthetic, winter thermostat .
What I personally do is wear my wrangler western work shirt over my hoodie because its a thick shirt and keeps me warm and my lady hates that shirt, but during the winter I barely wear my berne jacket I only wear it when its windy as hell. But then normally I have a thin cloth pair of automotive work gloves inside a pair of thick leather/cowhide work gloves and those do well for me in the snow. But the hoodie I run is a relatively light hoodie and it works well for me.
Get some merino wool under clothes. Leggins and a longsleeve shirt out of wool. Keeps you warm, wicks sweat, and it won't melt if it catches fire. Also keeps you warm if it gets wet
I agree, merino wool underwear is more expensive than the sythetic stuff but it‘s simply the best you can wear. Drys fast and keeps you warm. If it comes to socks I also go for wool synthetics mix. All year round in different thicknesses. The little bit of sythetics makes them last a bit longer.
Havent heard a word about the very best work boots available, “whites packer boots”. They are second to none i have ever laced. They have a steel shank that keeps your feet positioned the right angle and they are rebuildable. Think about how many boots are thrown away. Whites has you send them back and for $200.00 you get a new set sent back to you. They say they rebuild your old ones, but they look brand new! Awesome.
Carhartt fort the jacket and bibs, check out Dickies fleece line jeans, oh so nice, don't need thermals. Usually wear Carolina 400 Gram thinsulate boots year round. Living the railroad life, and as they say "Never rains on the railroad". Love the video. Keep it up and sorry I caught your Lancaster meet to late. So Hood!
Worn quite a few different boots … my favourite being the redwing same style as those you have … never heard the name before but then again I’m English 🇬🇧🏴
"so hood' Carhartt bibs and have a base layer from Rocky works awesome it's a fleece type material on the inside and works awesome. If it's really cold have a vest from Milwaukee tools that's heated. Currently use muck Boots they can be hot but keep the swampy mess out
SO HOOD. Thanks again for the informative video. Could you please do one about your mud board and Hoosier pole, how you build them and any tricks or tips associated with them.
Don’t know if you can still find them or not but in the oilfield what we refer to as the Halliburton boots are about the best I’ve found for winter. Some of the oilfield supply stores always carried them, don’t know about now. C’mon
Best winter gear is def carrhartt bit exspenive but cant be beat got to go and look up composite boots not sure if they are approved in the uk great videos thanks bill
I enjoy watching your videos I’m not a welder but I am in construction and your videos are well! Could we get some videos on the row day to day work cold and hot?
Carhartt and Duluth trading company. I live New England area. They have weird weather. So Carhartt have lot of different thick of clothes to change whatever temperature is.
If your in the market I’d try smart wool as a base layer. It breaths great while keeping you warm and doesn’t smell if you have to wear it repeatedly with out washing them. And wicks sweat away.
I love my carhartt insulated bibs I where them all witter. I like the head bands because I can where them with my welding hats and hood. I like the old school heavy thermo shirts for a bass something I will where a thinner 1 under it.
“So hood” Duluth trading company and carhartt are the best I’ve found for outerwear. I haven’t been able to get a good boot I’m in the same boat with my feet sweating ok much.
I live in the north east. We get winter full throttle. Get a base layer of marina wool. Top,underpants, socks. All marina wool. Blue jeans with bibs. Hoodie with carhartt. You'll be warm all winter. No need for all those warmers.
Hi Austin quick question on the carhartt vest does it run small, lose, or is it more of a fit if you would order your size or do you have to order a size up... Like to be able to wear a hoodie under the vest..
Here in oklahoma there is no preparation for the weather. 😂 your closet has to have clothes for every type of weather here. And be ready to change at a moments notice.
Try Grub Boots. Best super cold to warm Boots I've found yet. Wear at minus 30 to plus 60. I have no relationship with them, other than they are the best.
Just get some Yukon extremes coveralls from Carhartt and you don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing under them down to about 20 degrees or so. They are way better than standard Carhartt but sometimes they work too good. I’m sure you’ve heard of them they were made for Alaska pipeliners.
Unfortunately they quit making the ones I have. Now they’re more like hiking coveralls or something. They didn’t make them in FR that I’m aware of. These are the ones they make now so I don’t know how good they are. Mine are like the regular style bibs with the metal clasps but insulated way better. The new ones look totally different but I might try some when mine are wore out.
I would highly recommend buying a pair of Dunlop thermo purofort -58*F boots they are composite toe with huge treads for walking in mud. You can roll the top of the boot down when it's hotter outside or if it rubs your calves. Also you should by the bamma bootys for the boots, they pull the sweat away from your foot and keep them dry. These boots are very light weight but very tough aswell. You can use them is the summer as gum boots or put on bammas and good sock and go to extreme temperatures. Everyone in Alberta Canada and northern bc use these boots. If you weld also standing over a spinner you can glue some leather to the front of the toe to not burn up the boot as much. Have a great day. 🤘🏻
I work Canadian winters. To keep my feet warm I wear a simple thin white sock and a very thick wool sock over top. Wicks the moisture away from your feet. Gotta keep your blood warm getting to your feet so keep your legs warm. Cheap thin waffle print long johns against your skin then a thick Stanfield wool long johns over that. Thin layer Wicks moisture and removes the itch of the wool. I use just Carhartt cover alls but the insulated ones are good if you get really cold. Chest is tank top undershirt, long sleeve t shirt or thin long john, with the Stanfield wool above that. Thick hoody by itself or thin hoodie with a thick jacket. There are what look like turtle neck sweater necks with a piece that flaps down over your chest and back which work like warm tight scarfs. The Russian looking bomber hats for $15 are amazing to use. The ear Muff pieces protect your face. Layers help with moisture control and heat regulation. Use your fore arms to cool yourself by rolling a layer or two up. The flaps on your hat can be folded above your head if too warm. The neck peice pulled up over your mouth and nose or tucked around your neck. Moisture and sweat are your enemy. Comfortably cool is the goal.
Also those blue Bama ankle socks work like magic to keep your feet dry. Wear them over an athletic sock even in the summer with gum boots and you will have comfy feet.
Hey Austin I'm super new to welding. I'm actually a Rigger, mostly industrial laundry equipment but now I've taken over management of Las Vegas warehouse and I have access 2 several welders I'm getting better with the stick after ur videos n one other guys videos. I really like it. I travel all over the country moving machinery so I can kinda relate to a pipe welder life style. Just want to say thanks for ur videos.... What do u think bout using a pancake with shop use?
Winter is here! Are you ready and stocked up on your warm weather gear?
Get your shopping list here: bit.ly/welderwintergear
Hey austin how do you deal with sweaty welding gloves in the summer as I noticed I wear the same gloves you do
Milwaukee heated jacket
Dunlop thermic + has been my go to for 3 years and all the guys on my crew have switched over
Try cofra thermic boots they are a bit pricey but worth it

THANKS & take care Austin!
Favorite line is “consistent cold winter” because in Oklahoma it’ll snow one day and the next it’s 65-75😂😂
Exactly. I didn't know what winter was till I worked my first winter in Ohio. Brrr. Also never seen so many overcast days in a row.
My husband is a pipeliner and I love watching your videos to give myself an idea of what his job is like. Lol
Also, So Hood!(:
Wow I hope I can find a wife like you some day that actually cares about what there man does all day working his ass off.
I tend to wear surplus cold weather mechanic coveralls year round since it allows me so much more freedom to wear whatever I deem comfortable that day
We were having these army hoods under the welding helmet, doing the fleet welding.
Red ram jacket and gloves.
Big 10-4 On the bandanna. that helps a bunch. Love your channel. You are a good man.

Hey J, how's KWI? I've been doing research on KWI and MWI and am trying to do the pros and cons.
Austin Ross I started a month ago, so I have 5 more months to go.
Wade Wittman so far KWI has exceeded my expectations. I looked at MWI as well and chose KWI because they are an AWS accredited testing facility, all of the welding certifications and non welding training they offer.

Redwings logger boots are my go to boot for cold wet weather...so hood
SO HOOD
I work on a tugboat in Duluth MN. Glad to see I’m not the only one who looks like a Carhartt endorsement when the weather gets cold!
I’m from New Hampshire and I feel I can deal easily with the cold. I was in Edmonton, Canada two winter years ago. Man that is a different kinda cold.

Thanks Austin. So hood

Muddog 2 by Georgia boot best boots ever I work in a scrap yard and as you can imagine conditions are pretty dang rough ,I usually go thru 4 pairs of boots a year so I've tried them all ! Muddog 2 you will not be disappointed !
Timberland pro series. Has a menbbrain layer over the bottom half and add the rubber tough toe. Ran rigs along time and those are my best.
So hood!
I’ve found the hard part so far this season has been the temperature swing. Here in Northern Utah it was in the low 20’s on the job in the morning and by the end of the day it was in the mid to upper 60’s. Layering is a must!
That’s for sure! Is that where you’re from or are you working there?
I live in Northern UT but have been doing a job this week up by the Idaho border (Hyde Park) about 60 miles from home. Just drive back and forth.
So hood!! Loved this video winter is finally here and definitely gonna take note of all your recommendations!
Hope they help!
I've worked in as cold as 52 below , lots of 20 and 30 below key is layered clothes and loose fitting. Long johns, sweat pants , a second pair of sweat pants if needed . bib type coveralls .

Thanks man fist video I seen/found that really shows cold weather welding gear
Good deal. Glad it's helpful!
Carhartt outer, but have been pretty impressed with duluth clothing. All of my work clothes are Duluth now.
So hood! Like the videos man, trying to stay warm as a truck driver
Very helpful
Looking to go weld somewhere cooler . Thanks for great tips 👍
From Arizona
Also a boiler suit for those particularly mean mornings
Get some merino wool under clothes. Leggins and a longsleeve shirt out of wool. Keeps you warm, wicks sweat, and it won't melt if it catches fire. Also keeps you warm if it gets wet
I'll look into that. Thank you. Where do you typically buy it from?
I agree, merino wool underwear is more expensive than the sythetic stuff but it‘s simply the best you can wear. Drys fast and keeps you warm. If it comes to socks I also go for wool synthetics mix. All year round in different thicknesses. The little bit of sythetics makes them last a bit longer.
@@arosswelding Smartwool makes some, I think Carhartt did at one point. anything wool as a base layer is the best.
Lacrosse are the one I use mine have the adjustable top so it doesn't sweat as bad in warmer weather
Your like one of my favorite TH-cam’s
So Hood awesome videos. Thank you so much for taking time to make such great content
Thank you for showing up on Friday to watch. Appreciate you!

"so hood' Carhartt bibs and have a base layer from Rocky works awesome it's a fleece type material on the inside and works awesome. If it's really cold have a vest from Milwaukee tools that's heated. Currently use muck Boots they can be hot but keep the swampy mess out

Yes, I will add that to my list. Thank you for the suggestion.
Austin Ross thank you Sir. I built one for my skid and an not happy with the way it turned out.
Take a look at Keen boots. They makes some tough and durable boots. Also comfortable.
Don’t know if you can still find them or not but in the oilfield what we refer to as the Halliburton boots are about the best I’ve found for winter. Some of the oilfield supply stores always carried them, don’t know about now. C’mon
Carhartt makes a really good insulated mud boot
Austin another good hoodie is from a company called Up In Smoke Welding they make FR hoodies and jackets you should check them out !
Keep doing what your doing I love your videos they sure do help.

So hood
I work up up in prudhoe bay alaska are winter gear is very heavy and warm.
That is so neat. Pipeline work or other?
Work for a trucking company so lots of freight out to rigs and rig support.
What's the point of using a pancake? Looks like it can keep you cooler on hot days but does it have a purpose or is it just a cool thing to use?
Just get some Yukon extremes coveralls from Carhartt and you don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing under them down to about 20 degrees or so. They are way better than standard Carhartt but sometimes they work too good. I’m sure you’ve heard of them they were made for Alaska pipeliners.
Unfortunately they quit making the ones I have. Now they’re more like hiking coveralls or something. They didn’t make them in FR that I’m aware of. These are the ones they make now so I don’t know how good they are. Mine are like the regular style bibs with the metal clasps but insulated way better. The new ones look totally different but I might try some when mine are wore out.

Hi how is the flame resistance of the carhartt clothes. Like grinding and welding spatter ? Grtz welder from Holland.
I would highly recommend buying a pair of Dunlop thermo purofort -58*F boots they are composite toe with huge treads for walking in mud. You can roll the top of the boot down when it's hotter outside or if it rubs your calves. Also you should by the bamma bootys for the boots, they pull the sweat away from your foot and keep them dry. These boots are very light weight but very tough aswell. You can use them is the summer as gum boots or put on bammas and good sock and go to extreme temperatures. Everyone in Alberta Canada and northern bc use these boots. If you weld also standing over a spinner you can glue some leather to the front of the toe to not burn up the boot as much. Have a great day. 🤘🏻
I work Canadian winters. To keep my feet warm I wear a simple thin white sock and a very thick wool sock over top. Wicks the moisture away from your feet. Gotta keep your blood warm getting to your feet so keep your legs warm. Cheap thin waffle print long johns against your skin then a thick Stanfield wool long johns over that. Thin layer Wicks moisture and removes the itch of the wool. I use just Carhartt cover alls but the insulated ones are good if you get really cold. Chest is tank top undershirt, long sleeve t shirt or thin long john, with the Stanfield wool above that. Thick hoody by itself or thin hoodie with a thick jacket. There are what look like turtle neck sweater necks with a piece that flaps down over your chest and back which work like warm tight scarfs. The Russian looking bomber hats for $15 are amazing to use. The ear Muff pieces protect your face.
Layers help with moisture control and heat regulation. Use your fore arms to cool yourself by rolling a layer or two up. The flaps on your hat can be folded above your head if too warm. The neck peice pulled up over your mouth and nose or tucked around your neck.
Moisture and sweat are your enemy. Comfortably cool is the goal.
Also those blue Bama ankle socks work like magic to keep your feet dry. Wear them over an athletic sock even in the summer with gum boots and you will have comfy feet.
Carhartt for sure. It is amazing
