Convective cold is the penetrating cold that arises due to wind and low temperatures.
With convective cold, protecting the entire body is important, as this type of cold is caused by the airflow that passes over the body and removes heat. Therefore, it is not sufficient to protect only the hands; the entire body must be adequately protected from cold exposure due to moving air or wind.
Compliance with standards DIN EN 14058 (for protective clothing in cool environments above -5°C), DIN EN 342 (for protection against cold), and DIN EN 343 (for protection against rain and snow) are important criteria, depending on the application area, that should be considered first when selecting the appropriate protective clothing.
