Cold Rating Symbols – Gloves

This guide will help you understand TEGERA’s Cold Rating Symbols and how to use them when choosing gloves for cold environments.

Tegera Cold Rating Symbols – Guidance for Cold Environments

The TEGERA Cold Rating Symbols for gloves are designed for use in cool to extremely cold environments. While the symbols themselves indicate temperature, each one is connected to an explanation that also considers weather, wind, and level of activity. Together, they guide you in finding which safety glove may be suitable for your work environment.
Please remember that the need for insulation is highly individual and may vary with activity level, wind, and personal sensitivity to cold.
