Preparing for fall and winter: comprehensive guide to equipment, clothing and outdoor care

As autumn and winter arrive, the weather in Switzerland becomes colder, wetter and more unpredictable. This brings new challenges for outdoor workers, gardeners, and those who want to better cope with the harshest season of the year. In this guide you’ll discover how to best prepare yourself with technical clothing, footwear, gardening equipment and quality lumber, all available from Luca Castelli SA.

👕 Technical clothing to cope with the cold weather

In fall and winter, the choice of work and outdoor clothing is critical to ensure comfort and protection.

• Thermal layers: a good Merino wool technical underwear, such as the one offered by Ortovox, keeps the body warm and dry.
• Windproof and waterproof jackets: protect against rain and snow without compromising breathability.
• Resistant Pants: models Pfanner e Arbortec provide freedom of movement and protection during forestry or garden work.
• High visibility: essential during months when daylight hours decrease, especially for those working near roads or construction sites.

With the right technical clothing, working outdoors becomes safer and less strenuous, even in the coldest months.

👟 Footwear suitable for rain and snow.

Feet are particularly exposed to cold and wet weather. Therefore, it is important to choose appropriate footwear:

• Waterproof boots with breathable membranes (e.g. Meindl, La Sportiva, Hanwag).
• Non-slip work shoes for those working on the shop floor or in industrial settings.
• Forestry boots with cut-resistant protection, ideal for those using Chainsaws in the forest.

Good footwear not only keeps the foot warm and dry, but also reduces the risk of injury from wet or icy terrain.

🌲 Fall garden care and forestry work.

Fall is the perfect time to prepare garden and green areas for winter. Some of the main jobs include:

• Pruning trees and shrubs to encourage spring growth.
• Leaf collection with blowers or vacuum cleaners, which prevent damage to the lawn.
• Cutting firewood with chainsaws as reliable as those STIHL o ECHO.
• Land clearing and bush clearing with professional brush cutters.

Regular maintenance avoids future problems and preserves the health of the greenery even during the cold months.

❄️ Useful equipment for winter

When snow comes, having the right tools makes all the difference:

• Snowplows and tillers to clear driveways and accesses.
• Powerful blowers to remove light or powdery snow.
• Generators to ensure electricity in emergencies.

The range of machinery available from Luca Castelli SA, combined with a specialized workshop for service and repairs, ensures practical and reliable solutions in all conditions.

🔥 Chestnut lumber and poles for winter.

Not only cars and clothing: winter is also the time when the demand for firewood and chestnut poles increases.

• Chestnut wood is strong, durable and perfect for heating and construction work.
• Chestnut poles are ideal for fencing and agricultural uses because of their natural resistance to the elements.

A traditional material that combines sustainability, functionality and connection to the Ticino region.
