Why Mid-Range Insulated Workwear Fits Station & Ground Staff
Station teams often include dozens or even hundreds of employees working indoors, outdoors, and on platforms. Mid-range insulated workwear, compliant with EN ISO 20471 (high-visibility), EN 342 (thermal insulation), and EN 343 (waterproofing), offers reliable protection for winter conditions. It’s the ideal choice for operators needing gear that combines durability and functionality at a moderate price.

Jackets: Weather Resistance and High Visibility
Mid-range insulated jackets such as the Portwest DX460 provide waterproofing, breathability, and reflective trims — essential for platform work during winter. Jackets from CXS Canis and Reis deliver solid insulation and ergonomic fits, ensuring comfort during long shifts in changing temperatures between indoor ticket halls and outdoor areas.

Trousers: Comfort and Mobility for Daily Passenger Service
Mid-range insulated trousers offer excellent warmth, flexibility, and reflective detailing for staff performing various tasks, from ticket checks to luggage handling. Reinforced knees and ergonomic fits allow comfortable movement, making them suitable for extended duty hours on cold platforms and station forecourts.

Layering Systems for Flexible Station Operations
Layering thermal fleeces under mid-range jackets allows station staff to regulate body temperature while moving between heated interiors and cold outdoor platforms. Many mid-range garments feature removable liners and ventilation systems, offering flexibility for different working conditions throughout the day.
