Guys, for a while now I've been wearing these nitile gloves at work to protect my hands:

I like that they're thicker than normal (8 mil vs. 5 for most others) and have a longer cuff which keeps my wrists from getting dirty. The problem is, my workplace recently change requirements, and now all our gloves are required to be ESD (electrostatic discharge) rated, and these are not. Are there any like this that are ESD rated? I've been scouring Google for days trying to find something.

Any help would be awesome.

I buy the HF 5mil gloves when I get coupons for $5.99 box.
I think they have the thicker ones,but I have no experience with them.
The 5 mil gloves are a great value.

I buy the hardy 7mil nitrils from HF. They do have a longer cuff. hold up very well. have no idea if they are ESD rated.

They're currently buying us some thin (I think 4mil) gloves that I can easily go through 8-10 pairs a day...they rip waaaay too easily. When I used the thicker gloves I linked to in my original post I can often use one pair all day. Plus the longer cuff helps keep my wrists from getting dirty. So that's why I'm looking for something like them that are ESD rated. They're willing to buy them, I just need to find them.
