The gloves are not suitable for heavy-duty work; they are fine for occasional use. With regular use, the material wears out quickly despite the declared durability. On the plus side, they are waterproof and have extra protectors. I won't judge the price, as production costs may be high. However, they did not meet my expectations.
Mechanix Wear ColdWork Waterproof Leather M-Pact Driver F9-360 Tactical Gloves - Tan/Black
Tactical gloves sewn from durable DuraHide leather, guaranteeing cut resistance. Equipped with HiPora waterproof membrane and lightweight PrimaLoft Gold synthetic insulation with a grammage of 100 g/m2. They will be perfect for use in the workshop, as well as in tactical and survival applications.
Durable DuraHide leather and HPPE lining, cut protection, TPR panels
The gloves are made of durable DuraHide leather and equipped with HPPE lining, which provides cut resistance in accordance with EN 388 F and ANSI A9 standards . The back of the hand features ergonomically designed panels made of thermoplastic rubber (TPR), which protect against abrasions and impacts. The panels meet EN 13594 and ANSI 138 Level 2 standards. They feature special zones that make it easier to bend the fingers and squeeze the hand into a fist.
The materials used in the production of the gloves are characterized by abrasion resistance (according to EN 388 level 4), as well as showing anti-slip properties and a perfect fit to the hand. Special stitching on the fingertips allows precise handling of weapons, radios or delicate devices.
Water-resistant, windproof and breathable HiPora membrane
The model is equipped with an advanced HiPora membrane , providing full waterproofness and windproofness. It is also characterized by high breathability, which allows you to effectively wick away moisture and guarantees adequate air circulation. The membrane's flexible fabric does not restrict freedom of movement.
PrimaLoft Gold fill with a grammage of 100 g/m2
Lightweight PrimaLoft Gold synthetic insulation with a grammage of 100 g/m2 provides effective protection against the cold, ensuring optimal thermal comfort in harsh weather conditions. It also excels in breathability, preventing overheating of the hands.
Thanks to its hydrophobic properties, the insulation retains its thermal insulation properties even when wet, making the gloves ideal for changing weather conditions.
Internal protector and elastic welt
An extended cuff with an internal protector effectively protects the upper part of the hand from abrasions. Elastic cuffs ensure a perfect fit at the wrists, and webbing makes it easy to put on and take off the gloves.
ANSI/ISEA 105-XA9X, EN388-4X43FP, EN511-221, and ANSI/ISEA 138 standards
The gloves meet the American protective standard ANSI/ISEA 105 Level XA9X in terms of resistance to cuts, abrasion, and puncture, which means:
- X: abrasion resistance (scale from 1 to 6)
- A9: cut resistance (scale from A1 to A9)
- X: puncture resistance (scale from 0 to 5)
The gloves comply with the protective standard EN388 at level 4X43FP for mechanical hazard resistance, which means:
- 4: abrasion resistance (scale 0-4)
- X: circular blade cut resistance (scale 0-5)
- 4: tear resistance (scale 0-4)
- 3: puncture resistance (scale 0-4)
- F: TDM cut resistance (ISO 13997) (scale A-F)
- P: impact protection (test passed)
Cold protection is compliant with EN511 at level 221, meaning:
- 2: convective cold resistance (scale 0-4)
- 2: contact cold resistance (scale 0-4)
- 1: water penetration resistance (0 or 1)
The gloves comply with the American standard ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2 for impact energy absorption capability, which means:
- 1: basic impact protection
- 2: medium level of protection
- 3: high level of protection
In ANSI/ISEA 105, abrasion resistance is rated on a scale from 1 to 6 and refers to the number of cycles a material can withstand before wearing out. Cut resistance is classified from A1 to A9 (from lowest to highest protection). Puncture resistance is rated from 0 to 5 and indicates the force required to puncture the glove surface with a sharp point (not applicable to needle punctures).
EN388 and EN511 standards define protection levels for gloves: a value of 0 indicates no protection, while higher values (4, 5) indicate maximum resistance. For water permeability: 0 means penetration, 1 means no penetration.
For the TDM test method (ISO 13997), letter markings are used, where A indicates the lowest and F the highest level of cut protection.
Impact protection is assessed based on the transmitted force (in kN) during an impact test. The lower the transmitted force, the higher the level of protection provided by the gloves.
X marking means the parameter was not tested or is not applicable. P marking confirms the glove meets the impact protection requirement.
