The Problem with metallic equipmenetequipment and cold temparaturestemperatures is that your hands are moist, if you touch a very cold metallic surface (or any other smooth surface), your moisture will freeze to the surface which causes the toplayertop layer of your skin to get stuck on the surface.
For Example: it's freezing cold outside and you put your tongue (which is very moist, for an extreme example) to a pole, it will immediatlyimmediately freeze your tongue to the pole.
