Insulation performance is measured by CLO ratingswhich is a unit of thermal resistance that indicates insulating ability. The higher the CLO value, the higher the amount of warmth a piece of clothing provides.
To determine temperature ratings, CLO factors, Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET) and the time or duration of a task are considered. MET levels are categorized into 3 groups:
Some warehouses and facilities are more manual in nature, leading to higher MET levels, while others rely on automation, resulting in lower MET levels. GloWear 4-in-1 Hi-Vis Winter Jacket Parka with Black Bottom has a CLO rating of 1.92 and is rated at a moderate work level in -30F // -34C temperatures for up to 5 hours.
