They still need to prove that isn't just a saying. A good reputation takes a long time to develop and very little time to lose. With safety gear I would not take a chance.

If I'm going to take a chance I'd prefer to support a small company. Amazon is big, but I find most things they sell I can find a small company that sells the same for a similar price and they know their product and so will direct me to what works well.

As long as they don't make a mistake and send the wrong thing anyway, which happens. You're always better off getting safety critical items from a place that only stocks from a verified supply chain, rather than a place that keep them separate merely by policy.
