Thermal Grip and ANSI A3 Cut Protection for Cold Work
The Cordova Safety Cold Snap Xtreme 3915 is a two-ply thermal work glove for cold storage, refrigerated handling, winter maintenance, and similar cold environments. It combines ANSI A3 cut resistance with a fully coated black foam-PVC grip, a 15-gauge red nylon outer shell, and a brushed acrylic/polyester inner lining.
Cordova reports that the foam-PVC coating remains flexible in temperatures as low as -32°F. That figure describes coating flexibility, not a universal hand-warmth rating or a guaranteed safe exposure temperature. Suitability depends on contact time, activity level, wind, moisture, fit, and the employer's hazard assessment.

Safety Standards and Glove Selection
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 — Hand Protection requires appropriate gloves for identified hazards, including cuts, abrasions, and harmful temperature extremes. Selection must consider glove performance, the task, conditions, and duration of use.
OSHA guidance on selecting hand protection for cold environments provides additional context for cold-work PPE decisions. OSHA does not assign this glove a freezer-temperature rating.
Cordova's specification sheet identifies ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Cut Level A3. This is a cut-resistance classification, not a cold-protection rating. Cordova separately publishes EN 388 3232 and Contact Cold Level 2 on its product page. These results do not establish a universal safe exposure time or temperature.
