I got a pair from my wife's cousin, and they sat in the truck for a year or better before I grabbed them last week when I needed some gloves out in the shop.

So far, I flat out love them. The nitrile coating and think material is great for easily grabbing bolts and small items - something that Mechanix and other similar gloves just can't do. And they are sturdy enough to re-use, unlike plain old nitrile gloves.

They seem to be a nice middle ground between rubber/nitrile gloves and Mechanix style shop gloves.

Oh, and they are pretty cheap.


Anyone else use them or something similar?

I wear them at work during the summer, it is just like you said, a great middle road glove. Its nice being able to work with smaller items unlike the thicker gloves, yet stronger than nitrile gloves....

[bggrnchvy]

We started using them at work just before I quit. I loved them, they actually breath on the backside which was a big step above the nitrile gloves I was putting on and taking off 10x a day. Much less sweat filled glove syndrome and my fingers actually felt protected a bit.

We have these at work as well. I have to agree with the fact that they are perfect for middle of road glove. Now for something you might not know. We have to wear cut resistant gloves almost all day where I work. They make these also and they are even better. Feels much more protection for hands. Those great "knuckle buster" times.:eek: Also aren't any thicker or hotter. Just thought you might wanna know.

They make my hands sweat too much. Not a bad glove though.

Ansell makes them as well.

We use them in the factory in a lot of assembly operations. They are excellent.

Here is a link to a free sample for some of their gloves. These are not the exact model I am used to using, but they look similiar.

I use the ansell ones. I love them, but they are damned expensive. Something like $7 a pair through MSC. Got mine at work, so haven't really researched other distributors.

[negativeswitches]

we sell them at napa for 5-7$ a pair through sas saftey i think they are named "pro-tool" cant remember at the moment

[dopeassjackson]

i used a thicker more durable version for landscaping. they would last a summer of digging in the dirt. i dont wear gloves in the shop unless im welding.

[PTSchram]

Every day! I get them from a friend who gets them through his employer. If you buy them by the gross, they are dirt cheap, I mean dirt cheap!

They can be laundered once or twice-after that, they aren't worth wearing again, but you can get a couple of uses out of them before trashing them.

I have the "mechanix" style gloves, latex, leather and these. Surprisingly, this style seems to be the most versatile.

Like PT mentioned by the gross the Ansell Hy-Flex runs us just under $2/pair when bought from Acklands.

If you look for an industrial safety supplier (not Lab Safety Supply) you can get them for less than $0.50/pair! I've found local supliers can almost always beat the big guys, if you look for lower quality suppliers-Ansell makes great stuff, but for my applications, I don't need expensive stuff.

Hi, I'm new to this particular forum and I thought it would be helpful to reply.

I have dealt with Coated Gloves for years. Today, Coated Gloves are the fastest growing glove segment in the glove industry due to the high costs of leather and the fact that technology has allowed glove manufacturers to offer a large variety of glove shells and coatings to address many problems and applications.

You can go to this Industrial Glove site to see the various glove options. See Coated Gloves: http://industrial.gloves-online.com/

For those of you new to Coated Gloves, you can go to this link for a brief primer regarding the various types of glove shells and coating.

I hope you find this information helpful since I saw some confusing replies and this is not unusual with these new types of gloves.

Thanks for allowing me to share this information.

You have to be a paying vendor to hawk your shit. Not trying to be a hardass, but this is the way it works here.

As for quality, I don't know about the other manufacturers, but I work in a chemical plant, and Ansell is one of only a few manufacturers we can buy from. The hyflex are approved for light duty use, including some chemical sampling.

Later,
Jason

[PTSchram]

When I did HAZWOPER stuff, Ansell was the only vendor I'd buy gloves from. When it's life and death, I'll buy the best, but to keep shit off my hands, or to help with grip in the shop, I'll go cheap :flipoff2:

I guess i will be the oddball and say that I don't like these gloves. We have a few different sizes at work, and because my hands sweat alot they always are sliding on my hands while doing work. Not to mention I've found they don't really hold up well to chips at all. I had to check in an alro order one afternoon and shredded a set. Regular leather gloves, no issue at all.

Looks like someone is staying on top of what sites link into theirs ;)

That's odd about the sweat - because compared to regular nitrile gloves, well, there really is no comparison IMHO.

Maybe you just sweat too much? :p

[PAToyota]

I got a free pair of the Ansell Hy-flex and they sat on a shelf for a long time before I put then on - when I did I was pretty impressed with them for what they were. Have to check into the larger quantities.

In my experience, the knit back lends itself to wicking perspiration away from one's hands. But, if you wear them a long time, they will begin to sweat just like nearly everything else.

I'm a big fan of the Atlas gloves - they've got light back, medium backed, and insulated gloves. I use the medium back (blue rubber on cotton) in the summer, and the insulated (grey rubber on cotton) in the winter and they full on rock.

I tried on the hotweather gloves, (black rubber on pantyhose?) and they felt...flimsy. It doesn't get hot enough up here to bother using them. The blue ones work great in the summer, and the grey ones are awesome down to about zero or so. After that, thicker gloves are needed.

I *really* like the grey ones for rabbit hunting or predator hunting i nthe winter though - small enough to fit in the trigger guard, warm enough (as long as your hands keep moving) to keep you warm

[95geo]

ya it's an old thread but I use very similar gloves. I love them for everything except doing welding whether it is just a tack or more and I try to avoid sharper edges with them. for light fabbing and turning bolts and stuff they are perfect because they have some pretty good grip but are thin enough that you can feel things like you arent wearing gloves. I use these and the really flexible mig welding gloves and tig gloves... between the 3 I have a pair for everything.

[PTSchram]

With the temps in the low 50s today, those gloves are gonna rock!

I'm gonna open a new package and get out some new ones!

As it's that time of year, it's time to stop by the truck stop and buy some new leather gloves as well. They just don't seem to last very long in the shop.

Woo Hoo, cooler weather. Er, the furnace still isn't up. Oops, I know what I'm doing this weekend!

[KyTrash]

We use them,where I work in a cooler that stays 34-36 degrees. If you are working they are great,but if you are just standing around they suck.:D They bitch about the cost of them. I usually get 70-80 hours out of a pair.Take home and wash them and use them in the garage at home.:D

[7.62FMJ]

I can't stand wearing gloves while working. I will, however, wear a pair of old MX gloves in the winter if I am in the shop. Keeps my fingers from going completely numb from the cold...

[PTSchram]

LOL, when I worked in labs testing industrial wastes and sewage, I didn't wear gloves. Fast forward 20 years and I'm working in a dealership service department where we were required to wear gloves... All of a sudden, I realized maybe it wasn't such a bad idea! Funny, I didn't mind getting all manner of nasty stuff on me, but now, I don't like getting my hands greasy!

[JJonesee]

We use them at work. My company has them cleaned, then gives us the cleaned ones.

Great gloves. Even after being abused in a shop enviroment and steam cleaned, they still hold up well.

Only bad side is once they get oily, they are just about worthless.

Ive used the Kevlar Atlas gloves since 1997 as a commercial diver. The last very well considering what I put them through. Good dexterity as well.
