Ergodyne 7001 ProFlex Nitrile-Coated Work Gloves (ANSI A1, Abrasion 5) Overview
The Ergodyne 7001 ProFlex nitrile-coated glove is a lightweight, dexterity-first work glove built for high-volume handling, assembly and general maintenance. A foam-nitrile coating over the palm and fingertips delivers reliable dry and lightly oily grip while the breathable knit back keeps hands cool through long shifts. It carries an ANSI/ISEA 105 A1 cut rating and an abrasion level 5, placing it among low-cut, high-tactility gloves rather than heavy cut-protection styles.
Choose the 7001 when the job calls for feel and throughput over maximum cut defense: parts picking, packaging, light assembly, warehouse and shop work. Because A1 is the entry point on the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained scale, step up to higher-rated cut-resistant gloves for blade, glass or sheet-metal exposure. For task-matched selection across the family, see our guide on how to choose cut-resistant gloves by ANSI level. This is a coated knit work glove and is not a food-safe or medical-exam glove.
What Ergodyne Is Built For
| Task | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Light assembly & parts handling | Excellent | Foam-nitrile palm gives the tactile feedback needed for small fasteners and fine placement work. |
| Warehouse & material handling | Excellent | Abrasion level 5 holds up to cartons, pallets and totes; pair with our material-handling lineup for high-throughput lines. |
| General maintenance & shop work | Good | Handles dry and lightly oily grip; not intended for solvent or chemical immersion. |
| Blade, glass or sheet-metal handling | Not recommended | A1 is a low cut rating; move up to A4-A9 cut gloves for sharp-edge exposure. |
| Cold-weather outdoor work | Not recommended | Uninsulated; choose the insulated 7501 or 7401 for winter conditions. |
Cut and impact gloves reduce injury risk but do not make a task safe. Match the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level (A1βA9) and ANSI/ISEA 138 impact level to the real hazard, inspect each pair for wear before use, and follow your site's hand-protection program. No glove is cut-proof or puncture-proof β keep hands clear of moving blades and pinch points. See ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained.

How It Compares
Within the ProFlex coated family, the 7001 is the lightest-duty, highest-dexterity option. The ergodyne proflex 7021 hi vis nitrile work glove steps cut protection up to A3 and adds hi-vis coloring for roadside and low-light tasks, while the insulated 7501 and ergodyne proflex 7401 latex coated winter glove trade some dexterity for cold-weather warmth. Stay with the 7001 when grip and feel matter most; size up the rating for sharper-edge work using our nitrile gloves selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cut level is the Ergodyne 7001 ProFlex glove?
It is rated ANSI/ISEA 105 A1, the entry level on the A1-A9 cut scale. See the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut levels explained guide to confirm A1 matches your hazard.
Is the 7001 strong enough for blade or sheet-metal handling?
No. A1 is a low cut rating intended for general handling. For blades, glass or sheet metal, choose higher-rated cut-resistant gloves in the A4-A9 range.
What is the abrasion rating?
The 7001 carries an abrasion level 5, which holds up well to repetitive carton, pallet and tote handling in warehouse and assembly settings.
Is this a food-safe or medical-exam glove?
No. The 7001 is a coated industrial work glove and is not certified as a food-safe or medical-exam glove. Use it for assembly, material handling and general-duty tasks.
What kind of grip does the coating provide?
The foam-nitrile palm and fingertip coating delivers dependable grip on dry and lightly oily parts. For wet-grip or immersion work, choose a fully dipped glove instead.
Can I use the 7001 with oils or chemicals?
It handles incidental light oils but is palm-coated, not fully dipped, so it is not for liquid or chemical immersion. For solvent work see our chemical-resistant gloves.
What sizes are available?
The 7001 runs S through XXL. Measure your hand against the glove size chart for a snug, dexterity-preserving fit.
How do I choose between the 7001 and a higher cut rating?
Match the rating to your sharpest hazard. Our how to choose cut-resistant gloves by ANSI level guide walks through task-by-task selection.
Is the 7001 a good material-handling glove?
Yes. The breathable knit and abrasion-level-5 palm make it well suited to high-volume material-handling gloves tasks where grip and throughput matter.
Does the 7001 have an ANSI impact rating?
No, it is not an impact-rated glove. For back-of-hand impact protection, see ANSI/ISEA 138 styles in our impact-resistant gloves collection and the impact gloves ANSI/ISEA 138 reference.
Is the 7001 machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, which extends reuse and lowers cost-per-wear across high-volume operations. Air-dry to preserve the coating.
Where can I learn how nitrile coatings perform?
Our nitrile gloves guide and the broader nitrile gloves selection explain coating types and how they affect grip and durability.
