The Ergodyne ProFlex 9015F(x) are the real deal. Period. I am an Engineer, so I research everything. Rather than just accepting the claims, I called the company AND researched the standards they claimed to meet. They are ANSI certified, plus meeting other international standards. I bought the first pair to keep my hands from going numb due to mowing with a push mower. The construction is excellent. Are they hot in hot weather? Yes. But you cannot get vibration protection without having the necessary material to dissipate the vibration energy before it gets to your hands. And the material will keep in heat - a good thing in the winter. They are quite wear resistant. Anyone who wants to be able to do fine work, holding a nut, or similar sort of activity, while wearing these gloves is going to disappoint themselves. You have to have material to get rid of the energy. Fine work calls for thin gloves. Know the work you are doing and don't expect a glove like this to do fine work. These are "jack hammer gloves", not gloves for tuning a race car. The other thing, since hot hands sweat, get two pairs of gloves - at least. They will stink after a day of work. You stink too after a day of hard work, don't you? Wash them. I checked with Ergodyne. Washing the gloves on a mild setting in the washing machine will not hurt them. Then hang them up and air dry them. For those with a small business and an HSA account, if you have a friendly doctor who will write a letter of medical necessity for you, your HSA will pay for them. You can be brave, proud, and worry about what other people think, and have numb hands for the rest of your life - not a reversible condition -, or you can go to the trouble of getting these gloves, doing things the right way and keeping your feeling. The only weak point might be the Velcro closures. That could stand some improvement. These gloves are very highly recommended. Oh yes, another nice thing: they are American made. The company has excellent customer service.
