MCR Safety FF2930 ForceFlex Impact Gloves, D3O Mechanics (Small) Overview
The MCR Safety FF2930 ForceFlex impact gloves are a mechanics-style impact glove built around D3O shock-absorbing padding in the palm and back of hand, backed by a Predator PD6 tire-tread TPR across the back for impact protection. A synthetic leather palm with a MaxGrid reinforced grip holds in dry, wet, and oily conditions, and a two-way spandex back keeps the glove flexible. This listing is the small size (FF2930S).
As ForceFlex D3O gloves, the standout is the padding technology: D3O stays soft in normal use but stiffens on impact to spread the force, so these D3O impact gloves stay thin and flexible where foam-padded gloves feel bulky. The Predator PD6 TPR gloves back adds molded impact protection over the knuckles and fingers, and hybrid fourchettes, a reinforced thumb crotch, and expansion gussets round out a dexterous build. These mechanics impact gloves were developed for oil and gas grip.
Like any item in impact-resistant gloves, match the glove to the hazard. MCR rates the ForceFlex D3O line at ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2 impact; confirm the level on the datasheet. Note this base FF2930 has no cut-resistant liner — the FF2931 adds a HyperMax HPPE palm rated ANSI A5, so choose that for cut protection. Compare this mechanics glove against other impact tiers in our guides, and browse material-handling gloves before ordering.
What These ForceFlex Gloves Are Built For
| Use case | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Oil and gas, mechanical, material handling | Purpose-built | Grippy palm and D3O padding suit tool and pipe work with impact risk. |
| Back-of-hand impact and pinch points | Level 2 | D3O plus Predator PD6 TPR; MCR rates the D3O line at ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2. |
| Dexterity-first tasks | Strong | Thin D3O and a two-way spandex back keep the glove flexible. |
| Cut hazards (edges, blades) | Not this model | No cut liner; use the FF2931 with an HPPE A5 palm for cut protection. |
| Chemical or heat exposure | Not suitable | Impact PPE only; use chemical- or heat-rated gloves instead. |
Hand protection has to match the specific hazard. These are impact mechanics gloves — D3O padding and a TPR back for struck-by, pinch, and bump hazards — and the base FF2930 does not have a cut-resistant liner, so it should not be used for cut hazards; it is also 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 138 impact level against your task, size the glove correctly so the padding sits right, inspect the palm, D3O, TPR, and seams before each use, and replace the gloves once any part is worn, cracked, or detached. Compare tiers in cut vs impact gloves and the ANSI/ISEA 138 impact standard.

How It Compares
The MCR FF2930 is the impact-only ForceFlex; the FF2931 adds cut. Weigh them before ordering:
| Model | Palm | Cut | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| FF2930 (this page) | MaxGrid synthetic leather | None | Impact and grip, no cut hazard |
| FF2931 | HyperMax HPPE lined | ANSI A5 | Impact plus cut protection |
| Leather impact driver | Goatskin | Varies | Abrasion and impact in a leather build |
Choose the FF2930 for impact and grip without a cut hazard, the FF2931 for added ANSI A5 cut protection, or a leather impact glove for a leather build. Compare in our best impact-resistant gloves guide and the wider impact glove range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is D3O and what does it do in the FF2930?
D3O is a shock-absorbing material that stays flexible in normal use but stiffens on impact to spread and reduce the force. In the FF2930 it pads the palm and the back of the hand, so the glove absorbs impact while staying thinner and more flexible than bulky foam padding.
What impact level does the FF2930 carry?
MCR rates the ForceFlex D3O line at ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2 impact, the higher of the two common impact tiers, via the D3O padding and Predator PD6 TPR back. Confirm the exact rating on MCR's datasheet before relying on it for a specific hazard.
Does the FF2930 have a cut-resistant liner?
No. The base FF2930 does not have an engineered cut-resistant palm liner. If you need cut protection, MCR's FF2931 adds a HyperMax HPPE palm liner rated ANSI A5. Do not rely on the FF2930 for cut hazards.
What is the palm made of?
A synthetic leather palm with a MaxGrid reinforced grip pattern, designed to hold in dry, wet, and oily conditions - the glove was developed for oil and gas work. Synthetic leather also resists wear and stays consistent when wet, unlike untreated leather.
What is the Predator PD6 TPR back?
The Predator PD6 is a tire-tread-pattern TPR molded across the back of the hand and fingers to guard against impact, pinch points, and struck-by hazards. Combined with the D3O padding, it forms the glove's back-of-hand impact protection.
Is the FF2930 comfortable for all-day wear?
It is built for dexterity: a two-way spandex back flexes with the hand, hybrid fourchettes shape the fingers, expansion gussets ease donning, and the thin D3O padding avoids the bulk of foam-padded gloves. Fit matters, so choose the correct size.
What work is the FF2930 designed for?
It was created for oil and gas and suits mechanical, material-handling, and general industrial work with impact and pinch hazards. The grippy palm helps with tools and pipe in slick conditions. It is impact PPE, not cut, chemical, or heat protection.
Can I use these gloves for chemical handling?
No. These are impact mechanics gloves, not chemical protection. For chemical exposure, use chemical-resistant gloves rated for the specific substance. Match the glove to the actual hazard.
What size is this listing?
This is the small size (FF2930S). MCR Safety offers the FF2930 in additional sizes as separate part numbers. A correct glove fit matters for dexterity and for the padding to sit where it should, so measure your hand and confirm the size.
How is the FF2930 different from the FF2931?
Both share the D3O padding, Predator PD6 TPR back, and spandex build. The difference is the palm: the FF2930 has no cut liner, while the FF2931 adds a HyperMax HPPE palm rated ANSI A5 cut. Choose the FF2931 if you also need cut resistance.
How do I care for these gloves?
Follow MCR's care guidance; many synthetic-leather mechanics gloves can be gently hand washed and air dried. Keep them away from direct high heat. Inspect the palm, D3O padding, TPR, and seams for wear, and replace the gloves when protection is compromised.
When should I replace the FF2930?
Replace them when the palm is worn through or loses grip, the D3O padding or PD6 TPR is cracked or detached, the spandex or seams fail, or the fit degrades. Damaged gloves no longer deliver their rated impact protection.

Good glasses if fitment is right.
Good glasses in general. Only issue was fitment on a few of my associates. Would recommend to others.

Light and well fitting
I bought 3 different types of safety goggles to try different fits out, and this was my favorite. It was lightweight and the foam fit snug all the way around my eyes. I think my eye span is small but of medium depth, if that helps at all. Most sunglasses are a little big for me. The other two pairs I tried were onion goggles - which were also good but didn't create a tight seam around my eye socket (so maybe if these don't work for you try onion goggles?), and a clear pair of ANSI safety goggles, which would provide the most protection but were a little more bulky. I bought these to wear at work with a face mask for a little extra (but obviously not medical grade) protection for those kids who sneeze!

Perfect for racquetball
We use them for playing racquetball at the gym! You can see through them perfectly and there's little foam pieces on the side that protect your eyes fully. Great product!

Not good
This was not a good fit. The material is light and feels very cheap. The padding around the inside of the eyes is already falling off and I haven't even worn them. I would not recommend these.

Not Bad/Little fogging w covid mask
I am an Environmental Health and Safety Director for a rather large company. I had bought numerous different pairs and styles of safety glasses to trial with use of face masks. I trial all pairs inside/outside/hot/cold/humid areas/air conditioned areas and etc....Not a bad pair of safety glasses for the price.REVIEW FROM EXTREMIS GLASSES: These were those most expensive glasses I had bought and had the most problems with them. I had a $5 pair of a different brand that held up good but Silverton makes on that is phenomenal!!!

Optical distortion from sitting so far off face
I don't have much of a nose bridge, but I think you'd have to have a hell of a bridge for these to actually rest on it. Because it's sitting so far off my face, it's not that great to see through. I can't say I've had this kind of fit issue with any of the other safety glasses I've ever used. Given the lack of a seal (because of the fit) I can't say I have much confidence the gasket will help any fogging issues. Going to try to bend the frame after heating it to see if I can salvage it a bit, but I'm not optimistic.
