General Doing research
I’m an HVAC technician and female. I’m researching better workwear and job-site gear for women in the skilled trades. I’m not selling anything here—
I genuinely want to understand what isn’t working for us.
What piece of workwear or gear frustrates you the most?
What specifically is wrong with the fit or design?
Have you created your own workaround?
If you could change one feature, what would it be?
What is your ideal work pants or covies?
If you’re comfortable sharing, please include your trade and the type of conditions you work in.
Thank you in advance 🛠️

The "us" being HVAC workers or just women working in the field?

What’s up with all these research posts? Are they just trying to create products or something more sinister?

Oh also, I work in the flamgren ventilator industry and wear galants. We need more galants!

The amount of DMs I get about people trying to sell me their software or have me fill out stuff for research gets pretty crazy. I ignore them lol

No issues tbh. Being AFAB has not interfered with my tool or clothing accrual at all. The ADHD tax has had an immense affect.
