Working in cold, wet, or weather-exposed environments puts not only workers’ physical endurance to the test but also the performance of their personal protective equipment. Low temperatures reduce hand sensitivity, impair grip, and increase the risk of workplace injuries. For this reason, choosing certified cold-resistant work gloves is not simply an option—it is essential.

The VAM range by MED Consulting has been developed with a clear objective: to provide protective work gloves that ensure safety, comfort, and reliable performance even in the most demanding working conditions. The range includes disposable, reusable, and work gloves, each designed to meet the specific requirements of different professional sectors.

Cold Protection and Compliance: What to Look For

When selecting cold-resistant work gloves, compliance with the relevant European standards is essential. The key references are:

• EN 388, which certifies protection against mechanical risks such as abrasion, cutting, tearing, and puncture;
• EN 511, the standard specifically covering protection against convective and contact cold;
• Regulation (EU) 2016/425, which governs Category II Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

VAM cold-resistant gloves are designed in full compliance with these standards, providing not only reliable thermal insulation but also the mechanical protection required for industrial, logistics, and construction environments.

The VAM Range: Cold-Resistant Work Gloves

Within the VAM WORK range, the category of cold-resistant coated gloves has been developed for professionals who work daily in demanding environments. These gloves are designed to keep hands warm without compromising flexibility or tactile sensitivity—essential features for tasks requiring precision and control.

Among the flagship models are:

VAM COLD MIX FULLY

The COLD MIX FULLY is a high-visibility acrylic glove featuring a double latex coating: a smooth finish on the back and a foam coating on the palm. Its insulated inner lining provides effective protection against cold temperatures, while the knitted construction ensures elasticity, comfort, and breathability.

This model is particularly suitable for handling tasks in wet or oily environments, where water, oils, grease, or hydrocarbons are present. The combination of thermal insulation and excellent grip makes it an ideal choice for industrial and logistics applications requiring reliable protection throughout the working day.

VAM COLD MIX SANDY

The COLD MIX SANDY completes the range with a sandy finish that delivers enhanced grip on wet and slippery surfaces. It is the ideal solution when superior grip is required in addition to reliable cold protection, especially in challenging working environments.

Both models belong to the category of cold-resistant coated work gloves, combining thermal insulation, mechanical resistance, and excellent dexterity in a single professional solution.

Why Choose VAM Cold-Resistant Gloves
