The European climate is changing, and many people work in cold climates and harsh conditions with changing activity levels every day. Empirical research shows that efficiency decreases when the body becomes cold. Focus that should be spent on the task at hand and being safe, is often on cold limbs, fingers and toes. The reality is many who work in these climates do not have the opportunity to change clothes several times during a work day to keep warm and dry. This is where technology can bring functional comfort to those who need it to get the job done.
