At Alex Direct, we provide hard wearing workwear designed for the realities of working in agriculture. It’s known that farming is one of the most physically demanding job roles, with long days spent outdoors in changing weather and challenging conditions, the right workwear is crucial to keep you protected, dry and comfortable throughout the day.

Farm Workwear
Our farm workwear range is built to handle the demands of outdoor work. From muddy fields to wet weather and early starts, every item is chosen for its durability, practicality and comfort.
We stock waterproof jackets and trousers, insulated layers, coveralls, hi vis clothing, sturdy footwear and everyday essentials from trusted UK brands, all meeting relevant safety standards.
Working in farming involves a wide range of physical work working outside in many weather conditions facing different potential hazards such as moving machinery, livestock and chemicals. Suitable workwear helps reduce risks while also protecting against the ever changing weather conditions.
The workwear required for working in agriculture will change depending on your tasks and also the season, but typically it’s recommended to have:
- Waterproof jackets and trousers
- Safety boots with toe protection and strong grip
- Durable trousers and coveralls
- Protective gloves for handling tools, animals, or chemicals
- High visibility clothing when working near vehicles or roads
- Eye and head protection when needed
Footwear should be suitable for uneven terrain and wet conditions. Make sure your safety footwear has:
- Waterproof materials
- Steel or composite toe caps
- Slip resistant soles with good grip
Yes, as most agricultural work takes place outdoors, waterproof clothing is essential for staying dry and comfortable in all weather conditions.
In the UK, there are specific safety standards that all workwear should follow to keep workers safe and reduce the risk of injury, for agriculture, they include:
- EN ISO 20345 for safety footwear
- EN 343 for waterproof and weather resistant clothing
- EN 388 for protective gloves
With regular exposure to harsh conditions, workwear worn on the farm may wear more quickly. It should be replaced as soon as it becomes damaged or no longer provides proper protection.
Yes, but it’s important to adjust depending on the season. Warmer, waterproof layers are ideal for winter, while lighter, breathable options are better suited to summer.
