Nice video, from a fellow Canadian and electrical apprentice I have a few tips for you and anyone watching: Carhartt is the standard, but the Canadian brand Tough Duck makes a lot of similar workwear that's probably around 85% of the quality of Carhartt depending on the item but at half the cost, as well some select items are actually made in Winnipeg. I Recommend the overalls, insulated and uninsulated, the chore jacket, and my favorite right now, the insulated hoodie. Now for extreme cold temps like below -30 the Carhartt style insulated overalls aren't always enough to keep you warm, so what I recommend is to go to your local military surplus store and see if you can find a pair of olive green CAF insulated overalls, they are insulated enough to be warm at -30 with just long johns underneath and are made with a Gore Tex material. they have a zipper that opens up the entire leg like your Carhartts, but there is also a string at the bottom of the leg that can be tightened and tied to keep them from opening up. They also wear over the entire front of your chest with insulation so they help keep your core warm too. Don't pay more than $70 for a pair.

First comment! I like your videos, I'm an electrician in Colombia but looking for a job in Canada, maybe we end up working together 👍🏻👷🏻🔌

Coveralls have a built-in jacket; those are actually overalls.

Thank-you for the clarification! I have updated the title/description accordingly!

Im from BC and it doesn't get too cold on the ,coast but I wear non insulated Carhartt bibs in the winter. I wear Stanfield long underwear with them

[@BecomingAnElectrician]

Oh the Stanfield stuff looks good! I'd usually wear long johns, sweat pants, then non insulated bibs.. but there's usually one week during the year that's super cold, so I tried the insulated at that time.. maybe a little warmer but the pant leg stuff was horrible for the zipper (and I bought them too long... it was bad a experience).
(I like wearing sweatpants/shorts under the overalls to put my wallet/keys in.. so I don't have to put them in lunch box, and it keeps my normal overall pockets available for stuff!)
