The Ergodyne Tenacious Tester Program
Join an exclusive group of workers in a never-ending quest for pure product perfection
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
We obsessively design, test and retest every single solution we bring to the workforce. But that doesn’t mean we clock out when our gear hits the job site. Our army of Tenacious Testers keeps pushing us—and worker safety—to perfection with the kind of insight that can only come from time in the trenches. Your reviews, your reports from the field, become our improvements.
So, go ahead. Give it to us straight. Your unvarnished input is what we need to keep reaching for the stars. All five of them.
“Helping Ergodyne develop new solutions and evolving the very notion of what safety is has been incredibly rewarding. When you know better, you know do better.”

WHAT MAKES A GOOD PRODUCT REVIEW?
BE DETAILED - Leave those one word answers to your despondent teen at the dinner table. Include: What you liked/disliked; how and where it was used; how often it was used etc
BE HONEST - If you truly love it, by all means max out those stars, baby. If not, don’t pull any punches. Let us know what could be better. Flattery for the sake of free gear gets us nowhere.
TAKE CLEAR, WELL-LIT PHOTOS AND VIDEOS - Is that an arborist modeling our new thermal work jacket or controversial new proof of Bigfoot’s existence?
CONTEXT IS KEY - Make sure photos and videos capture how the work gear is actually being used in the environment it’s being used in.

Product Reviews by Arlen
GloWear 8283BK Lightweight Performance Hi-Vis T-Shirt
“I was able to wear this shirt for over 10 hours a day, and it kept me cool and looking sharp. The shirt pocket is handy for keeping my note pad in, and a pen. The reflective strips are nice, and the shirt breaths well due to underarm vents and the material. I do wish it had a pen pocket or two in the left sleeve, but its fine without it. The shirt is nice and thin, not bulky, so tucking it in is nice and easy. It keeps looking new after washing it, and the reflective strips are fine after washing also. This is my go-to shirt when I am going to be on the side of the road, or in and out of traffic all day. Love it!”
N-Ferno 6467 Winter Work Jacket
“I got this jacket just in time for some pretty cold weather for our area. This jacket did a great job in temperatures below 15F. I love the reflective bits, being that I often work at dusk, and this jacket is all black. The only two things I would change if I could would be the breast pocket opening is too small to fit anything in, and the flap on the pockets makes it hard to get your hand in. They get in the way. Other than those to things, I love everything about this jacket!”
ProFlex 391 Lightweight XL Foam Kneeling Pad
“We decided to try our this kneeling pad at my work, as we are on concrete all day, and have to climb under trucks and motor homes as well as work on small parts on the ground. We all love this pad! It is just the right size for us, and it makes a long day at work easy on our knees. I highly recommend it for anyone in the tire business. We are looking to order several more to put in our service trucks!”
