I switched from a basic leather apron to a full aluminized suit about six months ago for handling our big brass pours, and the difference in how much radiant heat I feel is crazy.

I mean, I used to get home feeling completely baked after a shift, but now it's like I'm just warm, not cooked, which makes me wonder if anyone else has made a gear upgrade that actually changed their whole day.

Try aluminized gloves too, they help a lot like @margaretf40 said about cutting down on fatigue.

Oh wow, that's a huge difference! I read a piece about how proper heat gear can really cut down on long-term fatigue.

Switched to a cooling vest last summer, total game changer.
