Cold PPE

Are you looking for cold PPE for yourself or your employees? Here are the key factors to help you make the right decision: Thermal insulation One of the most important criteria is thermal insulation. It is essential that PPE offers effective protection against the cold by trapping body heat while allowing good moisture management. Opt for materials such as polyester fleece or composite thermal fabrics to maintain optimum temperature even in extreme conditions. Security Make sure that your PPE complies with current safety standards, such as NF EN ISO 14058 (protection in a cool environment), EN 342 (protection in a cold environment) or EN 343 (protection against bad weather). ALM specifies thermal insulation performance (e.g. 0.370 m²K/W for our Sibérie model, i.e. 8 hours at -26.3°C or 1 hour at -45.8°C for a person on the move with moderate activity: 170 W/m2) & air permeability (e.g. 2 for Sibérie, level from 0 to 3: the higher the class, the better the wind protection). Comfort and ergonomics Protective clothing must combine comfort and mobility. Models with breathable linings and ergonomic seams ensure that you stay comfortable throughout the working day. The right fit and adjustable features (cuffs, waist, hood) also make for greater comfort. Moisture and water resistance When temperatures drop, moisture and water can quickly make you feel colder. So it's crucial to choose waterproof or water-resistant PPE to prevent moisture from penetrating the garment, thereby helping to maintain a stable body temperature. Visibility In low-light conditions, visibility is paramount. To ensure safety on building sites or in outdoor environments, PPE equipped with reflective strips or bright colours ensures optimum visibility. In some cases, your PPE will have to comply with the EN 20471 standard. Maintenance and durability : Cold PPE must be robust and easy to maintain. ALM offers models that can withstand frequent washing while maintaining their thermal efficiency, thereby extending their service life. Explore our different models of cold PPE for professionals.
