Lightweight Gardening Work Shorts, Tech Tees and Sun-Protective Hats
Gardening work is outdoor, physical and constant across a full shift: pruning, planting, mulching and mowing all in the same day, usually in direct sun. You need fabric that's light and breathable, a genuine sun-protective hat, and enough pocket space for hand tools.
Gardening Work Shorts and Pants
- 140GSM four-way stretch polyester with DURA500 reinforcing (LS.1) A genuinely lightweight fabric that still resists tearing on branches and rough garden surfaces
- Multiple utility pockets with double-layer reinforced pocket bags Keeps secateurs and twine secure without wearing through
- Stress-point bar-tacks Reinforces the exact seams that take the most strain during kneeling and reaching
Gardening Work Shirts and Tops
- 190GSM recycled polyester-organic cotton blend with Silvadur antimicrobial treatment (WT.3) Inhibits odour build-up during a full day of sweat-heavy outdoor work
- Quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabric Manages sweat without the fabric staying damp through the afternoon
- Flatlock seams Reduces chafing during repeated reaching and bending
Gardening Hats and Accessories
- Wide-brim boonie with a longer brim at the back (CP.14) Gives extra neck and ear coverage beyond what a front-brim cap provides
- Mesh venting Stops the extra brim fabric trapping heat
- Removable, adjustable chin strap Keeps the hat in place in wind or when bent over garden beds
The work hats range includes this wide-brim boonie rated 50+ UPF to AS 4399:2020. Since gardening and landscaping share almost identical demands, the landscaping workwear range is worth checking too, particularly if your work covers both.
Gardening Workwear FAQs
What does Silvadur antimicrobial treatment actually do on a work tee?
Silvadur is an odour-inhibiting fabric treatment, applied to the WT.3 tech tee to reduce the smell that builds up from a full day of sweat-heavy outdoor work. It's a fabric treatment rather than a separate garment feature, built into the 190GSM recycled polyester-cotton blend.
Why does the gardening hat have a longer brim at the back than the sides?
The CP.14's rear brim extension is deliberately longer than the sides, since neck and ear sun exposure builds up over a full outdoor shift in a way that front-brim coverage alone doesn't address.
Is a 140GSM short too lightweight for garden work involving thorns and branches?
The LS.1's 140GSM stretch polyester is reinforced with DURA500 panelling in high-wear zones specifically to address this, so the base fabric is light while the reinforced zones handle the abrasion risk from branches and rough surfaces.
