Mechanix Wear Original Core 3 Tactical Gloves - Olive Drab

Versatile durable gloves designed to provide basic mechanical protection. Their optimal fit ensures full grip control, allowing for precise tasks without limitations. Ideal for law enforcement officers, military personnel, shooting sports enthusiasts, as well as during survival expeditions, working in automotive workshops, DIY projects, and airsoft games.

The top layer of the gloves is made from lightweight, breathable CoolPlus fabric that reduces perspiration and promotes air circulation. The construction made from a single piece of fabric minimizes the number of seams, resulting in greater durability. Additionally, the mesh material is tear and snag resistant. The inner part made of 0.8 mm synthetic leather ensures a firm grip and precise feel while allowing touchscreen use without removing the gloves. The wrapped Lock Ring panel reinforces the critical area around the thumb, enhancing glove durability, while reducing seams prone to damage.

The gloves are equipped with a robust closure made of TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber – thermoplastic rubber compliant with standard EN 13594), fastened with velcro. The two-piece interior palm construction and stitched Freedom-Flex cuff prevent material bunching and ensure an excellent fit and freedom of movement. Additional ventilated lining in the lower part of the palm improves airflow and provides injury protection.

The gloves meet the American protective standard ANSI/ISEA 105 at level 3XX in terms of resistance to cutting, abrasion, and puncture, which means:

• 3: abrasion resistance (on a scale from 1 to 6)
• X: cut resistance (on a scale from A1 to A9)
• X: puncture resistance (on a scale from 0 to 5)

The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 2121X 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)
• 2: 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)

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.
