MCR Safety PD3430 Predator Impact Gloves, Sasquatch Leather Driver Overview

What These Predator Gloves Are Built For

Hand protection has to match the specific hazard. These are cut- and impact-resistant gloves for mechanical hazards — laceration, abrasion, and back-of-hand impact — not for every risk: they 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 Level 1 impact rating against your task, size the glove correctly for dexterity, inspect the leather, HyperMax liner, TPR, aramid seams, and wing thumb 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What protection does the MCR PD3430 offer?

Cut, abrasion, and impact: a HyperMax HPPE cut-resistant liner, a premium Sasquatch split-leather shell for abrasion resistance and grip, and TPR on the back of the hand and fingers rated ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 impact. It is not chemical or heat protection.

What impact level does the PD3430 carry?

The TPR on the back of the hand and fingers provides ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 impact protection, the entry impact tier. Level 1 suits general material handling; for heavier impact exposure step up to a Level 2 glove.

Does the PD3430 have a cut-resistant liner?

Yes. The PD3430 uses a HyperMax HPPE cut-resistant liner behind the leather. The exact ANSI/ISEA 105 cut level is not stated in this listing's title, so confirm the specific level on MCR's datasheet against your cut hazard.

What is Sasquatch leather?

Sasquatch is MCR's premium split-leather used for durable driver gloves. Split leather is tough and abrasion-resistant, and on the PD3430 it forms the palm and shell over the HyperMax cut liner, giving a rugged leather-driver feel with added cut protection.

What is a wing thumb?

A wing thumb is a thumb piece sewn at an angle that follows the natural position of the hand for comfort and dexterity during gripping. It reduces bunching and fatigue compared with a straight-sewn thumb on a leather glove.

Why aramid thread?

The PD3430 is sewn with rugged, heat-resistant aramid thread, which resists heat and abrasion far better than standard thread. That keeps the seams intact longer under wear and incidental heat, extending the glove's service life.

Does the PD3430 have D3O padding?

No. The PD3430's impact protection comes from the TPR on the back of the hand and fingers, not a D3O padded palm. If you want D3O palm impact and vibration reduction, look at a D3O-padded Predator such as the PD2907 or PD2910.

What size is this listing?

MCR Safety offers the PD3430 in several sizes as separate part numbers; confirm the size on this listing before ordering. A correct fit matters for dexterity and for the TPR to sit right, so measure your hand and check the size shown.

Can I use these gloves for chemical handling?

No. These are cut and impact leather mechanics gloves, not chemical protection. For chemical exposure, use chemical-resistant gloves rated for the specific substance. Match the glove to the actual hazard.

Is the PD3430 good for handling sharp materials?

The HyperMax HPPE liner is designed for cut resistance, and the split leather adds abrasion resistance, which helps with sharp edges. Match the cut level to the hazard - confirm the ANSI cut level on MCR's datasheet, and step up for heavy glass or sheet-metal work if needed.

How does the PD3430 differ from a synthetic Predator glove?

The PD3430 is a leather driver with a Sasquatch split-leather shell, while synthetic Predators such as the PD2909 or PD2911 use a synthetic palm with a coated grip. The leather gives a rugged, abrasion-resistant feel; the synthetic versions add grip patterns and hi-vis backs.

When should I replace the PD3430?

Replace them when the leather is cut through or worn thin, the HyperMax liner is exposed or frayed, the TPR cracks or detaches, the aramid seams fail, or the wing thumb tears. Damaged gloves no longer deliver their rated cut or impact protection.
