Mechanix Wear M-Pact Material 4X Tactical Gloves - Blk/Tan

Tactical gloves in brown and black, designed to provide fundamental mechanical protection for the hands. Their exceptional fit guarantees complete grip control and facilitates precise movements. Perfect for law enforcement officers, military personnel, shooting sports enthusiasts, as well as for survival expeditions, auto repair work, DIY projects, and airsoft games.

The top section of the gloves is crafted from breathable TrekDry material and strengthened with durable panels made from TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber). These provide defense against abrasions and impacts to the hands from external elements. The segmented design of the panels facilitates easy finger movement. The knuckle on the index finger receives additional protection from Impact Guard, a panel infused with EVA foam.

The textured fingertips are enhanced with inserts featuring durable Material4X synthetic leather, offering excellent resistance to abrasion and tearing. The underside of the gloves includes D3O inserts that absorb impact energy and vibrations in the metacarpal region, as well as grip-enhancing panels made from Armortex fabric, boosting hand grip. The cuff is secured with Velcro.

The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 2131XP in terms of resistance to mechanical risks, which means:

• 2: abrasion resistance (on a scale of 0–4)
• 1: cut resistance (on a scale of 0–5)
• 3: tear resistance (on a scale of 0–4)
• 1: puncture resistance (on a scale of 0–4)
• X: cut resistance – TDM test (ISO 13997) (on a scale of A–F)
• P: impact protection (test passed)

In the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, 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 on a scale from A1 to A9 (from the lowest to the highest level of protection). Puncture resistance is rated on a scale from 0 to 5 and indicates the force required to puncture the glove surface with a sharp probe (does not apply to needle puncture).

The scales specified in the EN388 standard define the level of glove protection: a value of 0 indicates no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum level of resistance.

When testing using the TDM method (ISO 13997), letter markings are used, where A indicates the lowest level of protection and F the highest.

The X marking indicates that the given parameter was not tested or is not applicable. The P marking indicates that the glove meets the requirements for impact protection.
