Technology to Defend Against Cold Stress When temperatures drop, don’t let your safety record take an unexpected nose dive. HexArmor® understands that safety doesn’t go on vacation when the snow starts flying. Properly outfitting your crew with cold weather PPE is one of the most important steps you can take to combat cold stress.
THE DANGERS OF COLD WEATHER Most people think that workers in arctic climates are the only ones at risk of cold stress. In reality, employees in regions where seasons change are most susceptible to cold stress. And depending on conditions, cold stress can cause injuries even when it doesn’t seem that cold outside, particularly if the environmental conditions are wet. The most common cold weather injury is frostbite, which can occur suddenly in the event of contact with cold metal or super-cooled liquids, such as petroleum, oil, and lubricants. Gloves should always be worn to handle tools and equipment – never use bare hands on metal in the cold. In addition to ensuring PPE has thermal properties, you need to make sure your workers’ hands stay dry. Water conducts heat away from the body 25 times faster than air, so wet hands are considerably more at risk of freezing. Fortunately, HexArmor® offers a variety of winter gloves with built-in waterproof liners.
“I got these HexArmor® gloves for Winter construction work. After the first week, all the guys wanted a pair for themselves. They’re not bulky, so I have plenty of flexibility to do my job.”
– Kevin L., Heavy Construction

Rig Lizard Arctic®

TP-X® Technology
All of the protection of the original Rig Lizard® gloves, plus a C40 Thinsulate™ liner for added warmth. When temperatures drop, keep working safely and comfortably in the 2023.
Technical specialists at 3M, the company that produces Thinsulate™ brand insulation, have identified the the following variables that impact a person’s comfort level at a given temperature.
Protected by U.S. Patent No. D703,389 FEATURES: ________________________________________________________________
These variables include:
• GENDER • GENERAL METABOLISM • SPECIFIC ACTIVITY LEVEL • ALTITUDE
Impact Protection
• C40 Thinsulate™ Liner • Waterproof H2X® Barrier • Durable TP-X® Palm • High-Flex IR-X® Impact Exoskeleton™ • Additional IR-X® Guard Between Thumb and Index Finger • Reinforced Seams • SlipFit® Cuff • Pull Tab and Name Tag • Hi-Vis Color Scheme • Launderable • Sizes 7/S – 12/3XL
• HUMIDITY • WIND SPEED • DURATION OF EXPOSURE • BODY MASS INDEX
The list goes on. Every person is different, and some people will need more insulation than others for the same level of exposure.
BOTTOM LINE: Field test gloves, use your best judgment, and train your employees to understand the risks of working out in the cold. Don’t rely on manufacturers claims without validating them yourself.
