Anti-Heat Equipment for Construction | G-Heat

Imagine the scenario: it's July 14th, 34°C, blazing sun. On a construction site in Laval, a framing crew stops at 2 p.m., not because the work is done, but because two workers are showing signs of heat exhaustion. The job site slows to a crawl. The hours are adding up. Contractual penalties are looming.

It could have been avoided.

The problem everyone sees coming… and nobody solves in time

Summer arrives faster than we think. Yet, every year, the same mistakes are repeated.

Extreme heat causes productivity losses estimated at thousands of hours lost per season in Quebec alone. According to the CNESST, heat stroke is one of the most under-reported causes of workplace accidents. And beyond safety, there is the real operational cost: slowdowns, absenteeism, project delays, and contractual penalties.

Heat is not just an discomfort. It is a financial risk.

The G-Heat range from Exosquelettes Canada: designed for the field

All G-Heat products are chemical-free, infinitely reusable, and designed for workers on the move, not for someone’s air-conditioned office.

Here are the flagship products for construction crews:

• Cooling Vest: Polycool technology traps moisture in the lining without a wet feeling, maintaining long-lasting coolness for several hours. Zipper closure, stretch fabric, antibacterial treatment. Ideal for active workers on the job site.

• Cooling Towel: Thanks to Jadecool technology and its jade micro-crystals, the towel drops the perceived temperature by up to 15°C in 15 seconds. UPF 50+ protection. Simple to activate: soak, wring out, use.

• Helmet Liner with Neck Protection: Designed to be worn directly under a safety helmet. Immediate and long-lasting cooling effect, with neck protection against the sun. Discreet, practical, and effective on exposed job sites.

• Cooling Bandana: Ultra-thin, it fits easily under a hard hat. Ties around the head or neck for a quick cool-down. Chemical-free, ideal for breaks or afternoon heat peaks.

How it changes things in the field: a concrete case

A civil engineering company specializing in municipal infrastructure equipped its team of 40 workers with the G-Heat range for sumer 2025—vests, towels, and helmet liners—distributed before the first heatwaves.

The results after 8 weeks:

• Zero heat-related work stoppages, compared to 3 the previous summer

• Productivity maintained at 97% even on days above 32°C

• 22% reduction in unplanned afternoon breaks

• Return on investment calculated in less than 3 weeks thanks to recovered hours

"We long thought it was a comfort expense. Now we realize it was a performance expense."

Heat is an operational risk, treat it as such

Every day lost to heat has a real monetary value. When you calculate the cost of work stoppages, delivery delays, and contractual penalties, investing in thermal protection equipment pays for itself quickly.

The good news is that the solution is simple, proven, and available right now.

Exosquelettes Canada is currently offering free evaluation packages of the G-Heat range for construction companies of 10 workers or more.
