Are these the Husky safety gloves you got? I bought some of these "safety chainsaw gloves" on Ebay, but I'm not sure if they are really safety gloves or just work gloves with the Husky brand.
Those are them, and I was told by the guys at the hardware store that they were the chainsaw gloves, they also had other gloves with the Husky logo on them for much less, which they said were just "brand advertising". However looking at them, I can't find any labeling that says they meet the standards, the way that my chaps and boots have appropriate labels. So I started wondering, and went to the Husqvarna website, and found a listing for them,
Chain Saw Protective Gloves
Chain saw protective material in back of left hand. Leather palm, polyester back. Velcro closure.
Part Number Description
505 64 22-09 Medium
505 64 22-10 Large
The picture is a thumbnail, but looks right, and the large part number is the same as the gloves I bought, both on the labeling and on each glove... Feeling the orange padding on each glove, it feels like just a single layer in the right glove, but much thicker on the left, so I'd assume these were the ones. However I have to admit to feeling a bit underwhelmed - are all the chainsaw gloves like this, or are these kind of a "minimal approach"? I think I'm going to write to Husky and see what they say...
