MASCOT products which are certified in accordance with EN 342:2017, guarantee you a high degree of protection against the cold.
Clothing that is certified in accordance with EN 342:2017 is guaranteed to keep you well protected from the cold. Proper clothing is essential when working in cold environments, as it is important that you stay protected and warm. A cold environment is characterised by a temperature of -5 °C or lower, measured not just on the basis of air temperature, but with consideration paid to humidity and wind as well. If it is very windy, you may need a higher degree of insulation, even if the actual temperature remains unchanged. It is important that your workwear stays dry, as its ability to protect can become impaired when it gets wet. In order to improve protection against the cold and prevent local cooling, it is also important to wear warm clothing on your hands and feet, as well as warm headgear. It is also important that your clothing is zipped up and kept tight around openings, such as the wrists, for example.
