At 9.5 mil with Ansell's MEGA Texture across the entire palm and fingers, the Microflex 93-256 is engineered specifically for mechanics, machinists, and heavy industrial workers who grip wet, oily, or greasy parts for extended periods—where a lighter glove would tear or slip.

The 3M SecureFit X5007 is a safety helmet with an integrated UVicator — a proprietary UV-sensitive material on the brim that changes color from orange to white when UV exposure has degraded the shell to the point where replacement is required. This makes the X5007 the only hard hat with a built-in…
The Ergodyne Skullerz 8973 is the vented full brim variant of the Skullerz premium line.
