MCR Safety 36136KDP CutPro Kevlar Impact Gloves, Goatskin Double Palm Overview
The MCR Safety 36136KDP CutPro Kevlar impact gloves are a leather driver that stacks three mechanical protections into one glove: cut resistance, back-of-hand impact, and a padded palm for abrasion and vibration. A select grain goatskin shell handles grip and durability, a DuPont Kevlar aramid liner adds cut resistance, a padded double palm reduces abrasion and transmitted vibration, and a hi-vis orange TPR back provides impact protection.
As Kevlar lined goatskin gloves, the standout is the palm: the padded double palm gloves construction cushions the grip and dampens tool vibration while adding wear life, and the DuPont Kevlar liner works underneath for cut protection. As goatskin driver gloves with a keystone thumb and shirred elastic back, they slip on and off fast, and the hi-vis orange TPR impact gloves back rounds out a driver for demanding handling work.
Like any item in impact-resistant gloves, match the glove to the hazard. Note that MCR is transitioning this model's impact rating from ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 to Level 2, so you may receive either version depending on availability β confirm the current level, and the ANSI cut level, on MCR's datasheet. This is a cut-and-impact driver, not chemical or heat PPE. Compare this cut-resistant glove and leather work glove against other tiers in our guides, and browse material-handling gloves for related styles before ordering.
What These CutPro KDP Gloves Are Built For
| Use case | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Heavy handling with cut and impact risk | Purpose-built | Kevlar liner, TPR back, and double palm cover multiple hazards. |
| Abrasive or high-wear tasks | Strong | The padded double palm adds a second leather layer for wear life. |
| Tool and equipment vibration | Helps | The double palm dampens some vibration; use a dedicated anti-vibration glove for sustained exposure. |
| Impact-rated work | In transition | Model is moving from ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 to Level 2; confirm which you receive. |
| Chemical or heat exposure | Not suitable | Leather and Kevlar are mechanical PPE; use chemical- or heat-rated gloves instead. |
Hand protection has to match the specific hazard. These are cut- and impact-resistant gloves for mechanical hazards β laceration, abrasion, back-of-hand impact, and some vibration β not for every risk: leather-and-Kevlar gloves are not rated for chemicals, so for a chemical splash hazard use chemical-resistant gloves selected for the substance, and use heat-rated gloves for hot work. Confirm the ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level and the ANSI/ISEA 138 impact level against your task β note this model is transitioning between impact levels β size the glove correctly for dexterity, inspect the leather, liner, double palm, and TPR before each use, and replace the gloves once any layer is cut, worn, or cracked. Compare tiers in cut vs impact gloves and the ANSI/ISEA 138 impact standard.
Pros & Cons

How It Compares
The 36136KDP is the Kevlar double-palm driver in the CutPro line. Weigh it against the alternatives before ordering:
| Option | Cut liner | Palm | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36136KDP (this page) | DuPont Kevlar aramid | Padded double palm | Heavy handling, abrasion, vibration |
| 36136HP | HyperMax HPPE | Single palm | Cut plus light impact, lighter feel |
| Coated HPPE cut glove | HPPE knit | Nitrile/PU coat | Fine-dexterity cut work |
Choose the 36136KDP for a Kevlar liner and padded double palm, the 36136HP for a lighter HPPE-lined driver, or a coated cut glove for dexterity-first tasks. Compare in our best impact-resistant gloves guide and the wider impact glove range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What protection does the MCR 36136KDP offer?
Three mechanical protections: a DuPont Kevlar aramid liner for cut resistance, a padded double palm for abrasion resistance and vibration reduction, and a hi-vis orange TPR back of hand for impact protection. The goatskin shell adds durability and grip. It is not chemical or heat protection.
What impact level does the 36136KDP carry?
MCR is transitioning this model from ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 to Level 2, so depending on stock you may receive either the current Level 1 or the upgraded Level 2 version. Confirm the impact level on MCR's datasheet or the packaging before relying on it for a specific hazard.
What is the difference between the 36136KDP and the 36136HP?
Both are goatskin CutPro drivers with a TPR impact back. The KDP uses a DuPont Kevlar aramid liner plus a padded double palm for abrasion and vibration reduction, while the HP uses a HyperMax HPPE liner. Choose the KDP for the double palm and Kevlar liner.
What ANSI cut level is the 36136KDP?
The exact ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level is not stated in this listing's title, so we do not publish a level we cannot verify for this SKU. The DuPont Kevlar aramid liner provides cut resistance; confirm the specific cut level on MCR Safety's datasheet against your hazard.
What does the padded double palm do?
The padded double palm adds a second layer of leather across the palm, which improves abrasion resistance and durability and reduces transmitted vibration from tools and equipment. It also cushions the grip during heavy handling.
What is the glove made of?
A select grade grain goatskin leather shell with a DuPont Kevlar aramid cut-resistant liner, a padded double palm, a keystone thumb, and a shirred elastic back. Goatskin is prized for dexterity and grip, and its natural lanolin keeps the leather supple.
Can I use these gloves for chemical handling?
No. Leather and Kevlar gloves are for mechanical hazards - cuts, abrasion, impact, and vibration - not chemicals. For chemical exposure, use chemical-resistant gloves rated for the specific substance. Match the glove to the actual hazard.
Is this a driver-style glove?
Yes. It is a leather driver, a slip-on style with a keystone thumb and elastic back and no cuff closure, common for material handling and general work where quick on and off matters. The Kevlar liner, double palm, and TPR make it a cut and impact driver.
Does the double palm reduce vibration?
The extra palm layer helps dampen some tool and equipment vibration and cushions the grip, which can reduce hand fatigue. For sustained high-vibration work, use a dedicated anti-vibration glove rated for that exposure.
What does the keystone thumb do?
A keystone thumb is a separately sewn thumb piece set at an angle to follow the natural position of the hand. It improves comfort and dexterity for gripping and reduces bunching compared with a straight-sewn thumb.
How do I care for goatskin leather gloves?
Keep them dry where possible, air dry away from direct heat if they get wet, and store them flat. Leather stiffens if dried too fast. Inspect the leather, Kevlar liner, double palm, and TPR for cuts, wear, or cracking, and replace the gloves when protection is compromised.
When should I replace these gloves?
Replace them when the leather is cut through or worn thin, the Kevlar liner is exposed or frayed, the double palm wears through, the TPR is cracked or detached, or the seams fail. Damaged gloves no longer deliver their rated protection.
