Winter’s extreme weather poses a real threat to hand safety worldwide. Freezing temperatures and biting winds amplify the risk of cold stress, which can lead to frostbite, hypothermia, and other serious health issues. At Knight Safety Gear, we proudly distribute Granberg Gloves—expertly crafted to shield workers’ hands from harsh winter conditions while ensuring comfort and performance.
What is Cold Stress?
Cold stress happens when the body loses heat faster than it can produce it, a process worsened by wind chill. This can result in:
- Frostbite: Skin and tissue damage from freezing temperatures.
- Hypothermia: A life-threatening drop in body temperature.
For workers braving the elements, these risks make high-quality hand protection essential.
