Ergodyne ProFlex 850 Freezer Gloves - Insulated Grip Palm Touchscreen

In this review the Ergodyne ProFlex 850 Freezer Gloves are evaluated for cold storage workers who need dexterity and a secure grip in subzero environments. The bottom line: these gloves are best for workers who value lightweight insulation and touchscreen usability while handling goods in freezers down to about -20F. The gloves combine 150g insulation with a silicone patterned palm and reinforced thumb for handling tasks, and they balance warmth with full dexterity so wearers can work without constant glove removal.

Key Features

• Insulation: 150g of lightweight insulation traps heat to help keep hands warm in freezer temperatures between -5F and -20F.
• Grip: Silicone patterned palm and fingers provide a secure hold on boxes and tools in cold, slippery conditions.
• Cut resistance: ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 level A2 cut protection offers protection when working with sharp materials.
• Touchscreen capable: Thumb, index and middle finger allow swiping and typing on most phones and tablets without removing the gloves.
• Fit and dexterity: A lightweight insulation package and soft neoprene cuff deliver full dexterity for handling small items and fast tasks.
• Standards: Meets EN388: 3X22 B and EN511: 23x glove standards for impact and cold protection in industrial settings.

Who It's For

The ProFlex 850 is aimed at warehouse pickers, cold storage technicians, and food industry workers who need to perform manual tasks in freezers and cold storage rooms. Its combination of insulation, grip, and touchscreen capability makes it useful for roles that require both handling and occasional device use.

Those who need extreme longevity under heavy abrasive use or who regularly work much colder than -20F should consider heavier or specialized glove options; several users report mixed durability and limited warmth during very long exposures to extreme cold.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight 150g insulation provides good warmth while preserving finger mobility for detailed tasks.
• Silicone patterned palm and reinforced thumb saddles give a reliable grip on wet or slippery surfaces.
• Touchscreen-capable thumb, index and middle fingers reduce interruptions when using devices in cold environments.

Cons

• Some users report mixed durability under heavy daily use, so lifespan may vary by task intensity.
• A few customers noted fingers can feel cold after extended use in the coldest conditions near the lower temperature limit.
