About Ergodyne

Ergodyne has made safety and comfort gear for working people since 1983, when Dr. Tom Votel designed a back support at a hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, and built a company around it. More than four decades later, Ergodyne is still headquartered in St. Paul and still designs its products around one idea it calls Tenacious Work Gear: equipment that helps workers stay safe, comfortable and productive on the job.

In 2018 Ergodyne was acquired by Klein Tools, and it continues to operate as its own business under the Ergodyne name.

A product line for every jobsite hazard

Most safety brands focus on one category. Ergodyne covers almost every everyday jobsite hazard: GloWear hi-vis apparel for traffic and low light, Skullerz safety glasses and head protection, Chill-Its cooling gear for heat stress, N-Ferno winter gear for cold stress, ProFlex work gloves, back supports and knee pads for strain and impact, and Squids tool tethers to stop dropped tools when working at height.

Built around safety standards

Many Ergodyne products are designed to meet recognized safety standards. GloWear garments are labeled with their ANSI/ISEA 107 type and class, Squids tethers list the maximum tool weight they are rated to hold, and Skullerz safety glasses are built to the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 eye protection standard. Check each product listing or spec sheet for its exact rating before you buy.

Ergodyne FAQ

What does Ergodyne make?

Ergodyne makes jobsite safety and comfort gear across nine product lines: GloWear hi-vis apparel, Skullerz safety glasses and headwear, Chill-Its cooling gear, N-Ferno cold-weather gear, ProFlex gloves and supports, Squids tool tethers, Arsenal tool bags, SHAX jobsite shelters and TREX ice cleats.

Where is Ergodyne located?

Ergodyne is headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, where the company was founded in 1983.

Does Klein Tools own Ergodyne?

Yes. Klein Tools acquired Ergodyne in 2018. Ergodyne continues to operate as its own business from St. Paul, Minnesota, and sells under the Ergodyne brand.

What is the difference between Class 2 and Class 3 hi-vis?

ANSI/ISEA 107 classes describe how much high-visibility material a garment has. Class 2 vests and shirts are for workers near traffic or in low visibility. Class 3 garments add more coverage, usually including sleeves, for the highest visibility, such as high-speed roadways or night work. Class E pants and bibs are supplemental: worn with a Class 2 top, they make a Class 3 ensemble. Always follow the requirement for your site or agency. Shop GloWear hi-vis apparel.

How do Chill-Its evaporative cooling products work?

Soak the towel, bandana or vest in water, wring it out and wear it. As the water evaporates it draws heat away from your skin. Evaporative cooling works best in dry heat. In humid conditions, phase-change cooling packs, which do not rely on evaporation, are often the better choice. Shop Chill-Its cooling gear.

What are Ergodyne Squids tool tethers?

Squids is Ergodyne's dropped-object prevention line: tool lanyards, tool attachments, wrist tethers and hoist buckets that keep tools connected when you work at height. Each tether is rated for a maximum tool weight, so choose one rated at or above the weight of the tool. Our tool tethering guide explains how to build a complete system.

Which Ergodyne gloves should I choose?

Match the glove to the hazard: ProFlex utility gloves for general material handling, dorsal impact-reducing gloves for pinch and crush hazards, anti-vibration gloves for powered tools, and thermal gloves for cold-weather work.

Does Toolup offer free shipping on Ergodyne gear?

Yes. Orders over $199 ship free by ground, and items can be returned within 30 days of delivery under our return policy. For help with sizing or specs, call 1-866-448-0251.
