The Ergodyne ProFlex 925F(x) provides ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 Level 2 dorsal impact protection with full-coverage TPR armor reinforced by technical foam on the back of hand and fingers. A synthetic leather palm delivers grip and durability across general-industry material handling, and a hi-vis lime color aids visibility in busy work areas β a purpose-built back-of-hand impact glove rather than a cut or chemical glove.

Why the Ergodyne ProFlex 925F(x) protects the back of the hand
Most gloves guard the palm and leave the back of the hand exposed β yet struck-by and pinch injuries land on the knuckles and fingers. The 925F(x) closes that gap with full-coverage TPR armor and a technical foam backer certified to ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2, over a synthetic leather grip palm. It is built for the oil-and-gas, construction, and heavy-handling tasks where the back of the hand takes the hit. As hand protection goes, this is the dorsal-impact specialist. The best impact-resistant gloves guide and the ANSI/ISEA 138 explainer cover how impact levels are tested and scored.
Safety first: the 925F(x) is a back-of-hand impact glove β ISEA 138 Level 2 rates dorsal impact only, not blade cut resistance, so it is not a cut glove. Its synthetic leather palm is a grip surface that is not rated against a chemical splash hazard or heat. For cut hazards use a cut-rated glove, for chemicals a chemical-resistant glove, and for hot work a welding glove. Match the glove to your measured hazard with the cut-vs-impact guide and your hazard assessment.
What the Ergodyne ProFlex 925F(x) listing documents
From the published specs: ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 Level 2 dorsal impact certification; full TPR coverage on the back of hand and all fingers; a technical foam backer; a synthetic leather palm; a hi-vis lime color; sizes Medium to X-Large (925FX-M to 925FX-XL). These are true impact resistant gloves and genuine back of hand protection gloves β certified proflex impact gloves for struck-by and pinch hazards.
How the 925F(x) compares to other ProFlex gloves
Ergodyne's ProFlex hand line covers different hazards: the 925F(x) is impact-first, while the cut-rated ProFlex 7061 (A6) and ProFlex 7141 (A4) handle blade cuts, and the nitrile-coated ProFlex 7043 and ProFlex 7001 lead with grip. If a task has both impact and cut exposure, a combined cut-plus-impact glove is the answer β compare options in the mechanics gloves guide.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard
Impact is only one axis. For blade cuts, browse the cut-resistant collection and the cut-glove guide; for grip in oil, the nitrile-coated collection and mechanics gloves; and for abrasion and heat, leather work gloves β the leather glove guide ranks those. Cross-shop impact-plus-cut builds like the Mechanix Durahide F9-360, and the full hand protection collection spans every category.
Where it fits by job and crew orders
The Level 2 dorsal armor suits oil and gas, heavy equipment, construction, and material handling β pair impact with any cut needs using the cut-vs-impact guide, and for the impact field overall see the impact gloves 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 925F(x)?
An impact-resistant work glove that provides ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 Level 2 dorsal impact protection, with full-coverage TPR armor and technical foam on the back of the hand and fingers, and a synthetic leather palm for grip. The hi-vis lime color aids visibility in busy work areas.
What does ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2 mean?
ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 is the standard for back-of-hand impact protection, scored Level 1 to 3. Level 2 is mid-tier certified dorsal impact protection - tested against impacts to the back of hand and fingers, where pinch and strike injuries happen.
Is it a cut-resistant glove?
No - the 925F(x) is an impact glove. ISEA 138 Level 2 rates back-of-hand impact, not blade cut resistance, which is a separate ANSI scale. If you need cut protection, choose a cut-rated glove or a combined cut-plus-impact model.
What is the TPR armor for?
Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) armor covers the back of the hand and all fingers to absorb and deflect impacts from tools, materials, and pinch points. A technical foam layer behind the TPR adds absorption and conforms to the hand.
Where is impact protection important?
Oil and gas, heavy equipment, construction, and material handling - anywhere hands are exposed to struck-by and pinch hazards against pipe, machinery, and loads. Back-of-hand injuries are common in these tasks, which impact gloves target.
What does the palm offer?
A synthetic leather palm delivers grip and durability for general material handling and tool operation. It is a grip-and-wear palm, not a cut-resistant or chemical-resistant palm.
Is it also chemical- or heat-rated?
No - the 925F(x) is a dorsal impact 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.
Why is it hi-vis lime?
The high-visibility lime color improves worker visibility in congested work areas, helping hands and hand signals stand out around moving equipment and other crew.
What sizes does it come in?
The ProFlex 925F(x) comes in Medium, Large, and X-Large (925FX-M, 925FX-L, 925FX-XL). A snug fit keeps the TPR armor positioned over the back of the hand and fingers where it protects.
How does it compare to a cut-plus-impact glove?
The 925F(x) is impact-focused with a grip palm; a combined cut-plus-impact glove adds a cut-rated palm liner for tasks with both hazards. Choose the 925F(x) when impact is the main risk, and a combined model when cuts are also present.
How do I care for impact gloves?
Follow the care label; wipe down the TPR and palm and let them dry fully. Retire a glove once the TPR armor cracks or separates or the palm wears through - damaged armor no longer protects as rated.
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.
