Impact-Resistant Gloves

Impact-resistant gloves protect the backs of hands and knuckles from blunt force injuries during demolition, drilling, material handling, mining, oil and gas operations, and any application where the risk of crushing or impact injury to the dorsal hand is significant. ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 defines three levels of impact protection based on transmitted force measured in the TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) dorsal impact test: Level 1 provides the most basic impact protection; Level 2 covers most industrial applications; Level 3 provides the highest impact resistance for the most demanding oil field and construction applications. WC Safety carries impact-resistant gloves from Mechanix Wear, Portwest, Ergodyne, and Superior Glove in ANSI 138 Impact Level 2 and Level 3 configurations.

TPR (thermoplastic rubber) dorsal protection is the primary design feature of impact-resistant gloves — molded rubber pads positioned over the knuckles, metacarpal bones, and finger joints that absorb and distribute impact energy before it can fracture the underlying bones. The thickness, density, and coverage area of the TPR pads determine the impact protection level. Level 2 gloves use pads providing meaningful protection for general construction, logistics, and manufacturing impact risks. Level 3 gloves use thicker, denser TPR construction with extended coverage over the full dorsal hand surface for maximum protection in oil field and mining operations where high-force impacts are more frequent and severe.

Combination protection combining impact resistance with cut resistance is available in ANSI A4-A6 cut-rated shells — providing meaningful cut protection alongside impact protection for applications involving both sharp and blunt hazards simultaneously. Glass handling, sheet metal work, and automotive manufacturing frequently present both hazards in the same work cycle, making combination-rated gloves significantly more practical than wearing separate cut gloves and impact gloves simultaneously. Premium combination impact/cut gloves maintain adequate dexterity for detailed assembly work while providing meaningful protection against both injury mechanisms.

Palm and finger coating selection for impact gloves follows the same principles as other work gloves — sandy nitrile for dry grip, foam nitrile for wet grip, uncoated for maximum dexterity. Impact gloves with smooth nitrile palm coating provide adequate grip for most material handling applications. For oily environments in oil and gas applications, full-dip nitrile or foam nitrile palm coatings maintain grip on oily pipe surfaces and equipment in conditions that would cause uncoated or lightly coated gloves to slip. Verify that the palm material is compatible with the specific chemicals and lubricants present in your work environment.

Glove fit is particularly important for impact-resistant gloves because the TPR pads must be positioned correctly over the specific anatomical structures they are designed to protect. A glove worn too loosely will have pads that shift away from the knuckles during use, leaving them unprotected during actual impact events. A glove worn too tightly will restrict blood flow and fatigue the hand during sustained grip work. Manufacturer sizing charts based on hand circumference measurement provide the most reliable fit guidance — order samples in adjacent sizes for workers near a size boundary before committing to a bulk order.

WC Safety carries ANSI 138 Impact Level 2 and Level 3 gloves in combination cut-rated and standard palm configurations from Mechanix Wear, Portwest, and Superior Glove for oil and gas, construction, mining, and material handling applications. Browse our impact-resistant glove collection to find the right impact protection level and palm material for your specific work environment's hazard profile.
