Why the MCR Safety K9697 covers cold and cut at once
Cold storage and winter jobsites pose two problems at once: hands go numb, and the materials are still sharp. A plain winter glove leaves you exposed to cuts; a plain cut glove leaves you freezing. The Kodiak K9697 does both β Thinsulate insulation for warmth, an HPPE cut-resistant shell for blade protection, and a sandy latex palm that grips cold, wet material where a smooth coating would slip. It is the dual-hazard glove for freezers, cold-chain docks, and winter construction, and it runs down to Small so smaller-handed workers β often left out of cold-weather PPE runs β get a properly fitted glove too. Carrying one glove that handles both cold and cut also simplifies a stockroom that would otherwise pair a liner with a separate cut glove. As cut-resistant gloves go, this is the insulated cold-and-cut pick, and the best cut-resistant gloves guide and ANSI cut levels guide cover how cut ratings map to tasks.
Safety first: the sandy palm coating is natural rubber latex, so the K9697 is not suitable for workers with a latex allergy β choose an insulated glove with a nitrile or PU coating where latex must be avoided. It is a cut-and-cold glove, not a chemical or heat glove; confirm its ANSI cut level on the listing and match it to your hazard, since the ANSI scale measures blade cut, not puncture or needle-stick. Match the glove to your measured hazard with the cut-resistant gloves complete guide.
What the MCR Safety K9697 listing documents
From the published specs: Thinsulate insulation for cold weather; an HPPE cut-resistant shell; a sandy latex palm coating for cold-wet grip; a dual-function cold-and-cut design; sizes Small to 2X-Large. These are true insulated cut resistant gloves and genuine cold weather work gloves β grippy sandy latex gloves for freezing, sharp work.
How the K9697 compares to other gloves
For uninsulated cut protection in warmer conditions, step to the A4 MCR 92721S, A5 MCR 92752, or oily-grip MCR 9188SFBS; for latex-free cut options, the Ansell HyFlex 11-518 and Ergodyne ProFlex 7141. For impact hazards, the MCR PD4903 Predator; and for warm leather work, the leather work gloves collection and leather glove guide.
Choosing the right glove for your hazard

The full hand protection collection spans insulated, cut, chemical, and impact options.
