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 7141 is a breathable nitrile-dipped work glove with an ANSI A4 cut-resistant liner for general industrial tasks that need cut protection with better airflow than foam-nitrile alternatives. The nitrile palm dip delivers grip in dry and lightly oily conditions while an open-knit dorsal lets moisture escape to reduce heat buildup β a lightweight 13-gauge glove that keeps dexterity, with a green/lime color for visibility.

Why the Ergodyne ProFlex 7141 keeps hands cool and cut-safe
Cut gloves that seal in heat get pulled off β and a glove in a pocket protects nothing. The 7141 answers that with an ANSI A4 cut liner paired to an open-knit breathable dorsal, so it runs cooler than a fully coated or foam-nitrile glove while still resisting the box-knife and metal-edge cuts of everyday handling. The nitrile palm dip adds grip without bulk. As cut-resistant gloves go, this is the breathable, all-day A4 pick. The best cut-resistant gloves guide and the ANSI cut levels explained guide cover how the A1βA9 scale maps to real tasks.
Safety first: match the ANSI cut level to your hazard β the 7141 is A4, mid-level cut protection, but the ANSI scale measures blade cut resistance only. It is not a puncture-, needle-, or heat-rated glove, and its nitrile palm dip is a grip coating that is not rated against a chemical splash hazard or chemical immersion. For chemical work use a chemical-resistant glove, and for hot work use a welding glove. Confirm the glove against your task with the cut-resistant gloves complete guide and your hazard assessment.
What the Ergodyne ProFlex 7141 listing documents
From the published specs: an ANSI A4 cut-resistant liner; a nitrile palm dip for grip in dry and lightly oily conditions; a breathable open-knit dorsal; a lightweight 13-gauge shell; a green/lime color; sizes Small to 2X-Large (7141-S to 7141-2XL). These are true a4 cut resistant gloves and genuine nitrile dipped work gloves β cooler-wearing breathable cut resistant gloves for general handling.
How the 7141 compares to other ProFlex gloves
Ergodyne's ProFlex hand line spans cut levels and jobs: step up to the A6 ProFlex 7061 for heavy metal and glass, or across to the nitrile-coated ProFlex 7043 and ProFlex 7001 for grip-first handling; for back-of-hand impact hazards see the ProFlex 925F(x), and the nitrile-vs-PU coating guide explains the palm-dip options. Other A4-class options include the Ansell HyFlex 11-531 and Mechanix Pursuit D5.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard
Cut level is only one axis. For mechanics and general trades, the mechanics cut-glove guide narrows the field, and the cut-vs-impact guide clarifies which hazard you actually have; for grip in oil, browse the nitrile-coated collection and mechanics gloves, and for abrasion and heat, leather work gloves. The full hand protection collection spans every category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The breathable A4 build suits warehouse, assembly, and general trades in warm conditions β compare grip builds like the Ansell HyFlex 11-518 and PIP MaxiFlex Cut, and match the level to the task with the A4-vs-A5 guide. For crew orders, quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account β volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations, with the walkthrough linked in our footer.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Ergodyne ProFlex 7141?
A breathable nitrile-dipped work glove with an ANSI A4 cut-resistant liner, built for general industrial tasks that need cut protection with better airflow than foam-nitrile gloves. The nitrile palm dip grips in dry and lightly oily conditions, and an open-knit dorsal lets heat and moisture escape.
What ANSI cut level is it?
ANSI/ISEA A4. On the A1-A9 scale, A4 is a mid-level of cut resistance suited to general handling of sharp metal edges, box knives, and glass - a common workhorse level for assembly and warehouse work.
What does the nitrile dip do?
The nitrile palm dip adds grip and abrasion resistance on the working surfaces without excessive bulk. It grips in dry and lightly oily conditions - it is a coating for handling, not a chemical-immersion barrier.
How is the breathable dorsal different?
The open-knit back of hand allows airflow to reduce heat and moisture buildup during sustained wear, so the 7141 runs cooler than a fully coated or foam-nitrile glove - useful for long shifts and warm environments.
Is it also chemical- or heat-resistant?
No - the ProFlex 7141 is a cut-resistant work glove. It is not rated for chemical immersion or heat unless the listing states it; for those hazards use a dedicated chemical-resistant or welding glove.
Does A4 mean it is puncture-proof?
No - the ANSI cut scale measures blade cut resistance, not puncture or needle-stick resistance, which are separate ratings. A4 resists slicing edges; it is not a guarantee against punctures or needles.
What jobs is A4 right for?
General assembly, warehouse and logistics, metal and glass handling, and box-knife work - tasks with moderate cut exposure. Step up to A5 or A6 for heavy metal recycling and glass; a lower level suits light handling.
Why is it green/lime?
The green/lime color adds visibility in busy work environments, helping hands stand out around moving equipment and improving the odds a glove is spotted if dropped near product.
What sizes does it come in?
The ProFlex 7141 comes in Small through 2X-Large (7141-S to 7141-2XL). A snug fit improves both dexterity and cut protection, so size to a firm but comfortable fit.
How does it compare to the A6 ProFlex 7061?
The 7141 is A4 with a breathable dorsal for lighter cut tasks and cooler wear; the ProFlex 7061 is A6 for heavy metal, glass, and scrap. Choose A4 for general handling and step up to A6 when A4 is not enough.
How do I care for cut-resistant gloves?
Follow the care label; many cut-resistant knits are washable. Retire a glove once the shell is cut through, worn thin, or contaminated - a compromised cut glove no longer delivers its rated protection.
How do I order for a crew?
Quantity purchasing runs through a free Amazon Business account - volume pricing, PO numbers at checkout, and tax-exempt eligibility for qualifying organizations. The bulk-ordering walkthrough is linked in our site footer.
