Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

I've been popping by the construction site every now and then lately to mix cement slurry, lol.

It's a large job site, but because of the elevation difference, we're mixing the mortar on the scaffolding and pouring it in at first.

With a small mixer, you have to mix it over and over again, which is pretty tough. You end up drenched in sweat.

 

It's been getting a little colder lately.

So when I sweat, I actually get really cold.

It looks like it's about time to start preparing for winter.

 

In particular, what measures are female supervisors and craftspeople taking?

I hope my tips for staying warm are helpful. (I’ve been doing this for a long time, lol.)

First, there are the long johns, undershorts, or inner pants that you wear under your regular pants. (There are various ways to say it.)

The most important factors are moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.

Whether they're directors or craftsmen, they still have to work on set even when it's cold, right?

You're going to break a sweat, aren't you?

In situations like that, if your clothes don’t absorb the sweat and keep you dry, you might catch a cold.

So, I recommend hiking gear

Winter hiking gear is the best.

It's warm and has excellent moisture-wicking and quick-drying properties.

Especially when it comes to legwear, it’s worth buying high-quality items even if they’re a little pricey.

I'm a big fan of a product called Outlast by Phoenix.

It costs about 7,000 yen, but I've been using it for about 10 years now lol

It's 700 yen for one winter, lol.

 

Next is the upper body—I’d definitely recommend wearing hiking-specific base layers.

However, the most important thing isLightweight Down VestThat's it!

This year, Workman released heated down vests and other items!

Workman Heated Vest

The one with the heater is absolutely the best, but if it doesn't have one, it's just a regular lightweight down vest!

 

Don't go for anything too cheap, lol.

If you go too cheap, the down gets all clumped up and doesn't keep you warm lol

If possible, it would be best to go with a reputable mountaineering brand.

Don't end up losing money by buying cheap things.

I think it cost around 9,000 yen, but I always wear my Montbell down vest during the winter.

There’s a world of difference between having this and not having it.

I've been wearing this vest for over 10 years now (I'm really good at taking care of my stuff, lol).

 

Especially during the cold winter months, that chill creeping up your back is really tough to handle!

Keeping your back warm can significantly reduce the cold.

Also, if possible, I recommend a length that reaches the waist.

The lower back is also very important.

Make sure not to let your back and lower back get cold!

 

And finally, when it comes to outerwear that you wear over everything else, there’s one that’s absolutely the best!

However, this is based on the assumption that you’re already fully equipped with the innerwear I mentioned earlier, but,

That's a kappa!

This is the best.

It really does keep the cold wind out!

This is important.

As long as you're nice and warm inside, a raincoat is all you need outside!

This might not be very cute for a female director, but if you search for "rainwear" or something like that online, you'll find some pretty nice stuff lol

Rather than a winter coat with fluffy faux fur around the neck,Neck Warmer and RaincoatThat's it!

I used to think this, but the winter gear the company gives out is freezing as hell, lol (proof they don't care about the people on the job site!)

Plus, I don't get the point of this fleece lol (It's not warm at all, and the wind blows right through it...)

 

Since it's a raincoat, it's okay if it gets a little dirty.

If it's hot, you can just take it off. In a way, wearing a raincoat on the job site is pretty normal.

Nobody thinks anything of it.

I recommend a raincoat that can handle snow, rain, and cold weather.

 

Please make sure to buy some nice base layers and a down vest.

This is the crux of the matter.

Also, regarding neck warmers, any type will do, but I recommend ones that can be opened and closed if possible.

It's easier to adjust the temperature with items that have an opening that can be widened using a zipper, buttons, or drawstrings.

 

See you later.
