Editorial assessment by Steven Eaton, WC Safety editor, based on published Ergodyne specifications and category fit. We did not laboratory-test this product.
The Ergodyne ProFlex 7042 is an ANSI/ISEA 105 A5 PU-coated cut-resistant glove on a 13-gauge shell — high cut protection with a thin PU coating that keeps more tactile sensitivity than nitrile at the same level. It suits precision handling in metal fabrication and glass processing, and the dark green color aids product identification.

Why the Ergodyne ProFlex 7042 pairs high cut with fine feel
High cut protection usually comes with thick, stiff coatings that cost you the fingertip feel precision fabrication and glass work demand. The 7042 avoids that trade-off: an A5 liner for elevated laceration risk, finished with a thin PU palm that stays more tactile than nitrile at the same cut level, on a lightweight 13-gauge shell. The dark green color helps product identification on a color-coded line. As cut-resistant gloves go, this is the high-cut precision pick, and the best A5 cut-glove guide and complete cut-glove guide cover how to match glove to task. It protects hard while keeping the touch.
Safety first: the 7042 is a cut-resistant glove, not a chemical glove — it is not rated for a chemical splash hazard. If your task involves solvents, degreasers, acids, or other chemicals, wear dedicated chemical-resistant gloves selected by breakthrough time, and see the chemical-resistant gloves guide. Match the cut level to the hazard using the ANSI A1-A9 cut-level guide; the listed A5 rating covers slicing cut forces, not punctures. Replace the gloves once the coating or liner wears through.
What the Ergodyne ProFlex 7042 listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 105 A5 cut resistance; a thin PU palm coating for tactile feel; a lightweight 13-gauge shell; and a dark green color for product identification. These are true a5 cut resistant gloves credentials and a genuine set of pu coated gloves — a dexterous pair of precision cut gloves. High cut protection with maintained fingertip feel is exactly the combination glass and fabrication crews look for.
How the Ergodyne ProFlex 7042 compares to other gloves
For A5 food-grade instead of industrial, the Ergodyne ProFlex 7040; for A4 PU, the 7044; for A3 PU, the 7030; for the highest A7, the 7072; and for A4 foam nitrile, the 7041. The A4-vs-A5 guide explains the cut-level step.
Choosing the right glove for the hazard
Cut level and coating are separate decisions. For coating and cut families, browse the nitrile gloves and mechanics gloves collections; for impact hazards, the impact-resistant gloves and cut-vs-impact guide; and for the full picture, the best cut-glove guide. Leather options live in the leather work gloves collection.
Where it fits by job and team orders
The 7042 suits fabricators, glass processors, and precision manufacturers who need A5 cut protection without losing tactile feel. Because a thin PU palm wears faster than a thick nitrile dip, budget for replacement on abrasive tasks and step to the foam-nitrile 7041 where grip and durability matter more than feel. Inspect the coating and liner each shift, size the glove snug for dexterity, keep chemical tasks on chemical gloves, and replace worn pairs promptly.
