MCR Safety PD43612 Predator Impact Gloves, Goatskin A9 Cut (Kevlar) Overview
The MCR Safety PD43612 Predator impact gloves are a grain goatskin leather driver that pairs the highest cut level with back-of-hand impact protection. An engineered DuPont Kevlar aramid palm liner delivers ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A9 cut resistance — the top of the cut scale — while a patented tire-tread TPR back guards the knuckles. A shirred elastic back and slip-on cuff make it a comfortable, quick on-and-off driver in a hi-visibility goatskin.
As ANSI A9 cut gloves, the standout is severe-cut protection in a leather glove: the goatskin Kevlar gloves build puts a Kevlar aramid liner behind grain goatskin, and the tire-tread TPR gloves back adds the Predator line's signature dorsal armor. That makes these cut and impact gloves for the sharpest handling work.
Like any item in cut-resistant gloves, match the glove to the hazard — A9 is for severe cut exposure, and a lower level may give more dexterity for lighter work. Note that MCR is transitioning this model's impact rating from ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 to Level 2, so confirm the current level on MCR's datasheet; it is not chemical or heat PPE. Compare this leather work glove and impact glove against other tiers in our guides, and browse mechanics gloves before ordering.
What These Predator Gloves Are Built For
| Use case | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Severe cut hazards (glass, metal, blades) | Purpose-built | A9 is the highest ANSI cut level; the Kevlar liner handles sharp edges. |
| Cut plus back-of-hand impact | Strong | Tire-tread TPR back covers impact; confirm the level during the transition. |
| Abrasive, rugged tasks | Strong | Grain goatskin resists abrasion and gives a durable driver feel. |
| Fine-dexterity light work | Consider lower cut | A9 can be more than you need; an A4/A5 glove may feel more nimble. |
| Chemical or heat hazards | Not suitable | Mechanical PPE only; 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 — severe laceration 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 A9 cut level and the ANSI/ISEA 138 impact level against your task — note this model is transitioning between impact levels — size the glove correctly for dexterity, inspect the goatskin, Kevlar liner, TPR, and seams 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
Pros
- ANSI A9 cut resistance — the highest cut level
- Engineered DuPont Kevlar aramid palm liner
- Grain goatskin driver for abrasion resistance and grip
- Patented tire-tread TPR back for impact
- Shirred elastic back and slip-on cuff for comfort
Cons
- Impact rating is in transition (Level 1 to Level 2) — confirm which you receive
- A9 can be more cut protection than lighter work needs
- No D3O palm padding — use a D3O Predator for that
- Not chemical- or heat-rated
How It Compares
The PD43612 is the A9 goatskin-Kevlar cut-and-impact Predator. Weigh it against the alternatives before ordering:
| Model | Cut liner | Cut level | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PD43612 (this page) | DuPont Kevlar aramid | A9 | Severe cut plus impact in leather |
| PD3430 / PD2909 | HyperMax HPPE | Per datasheet | Cut plus impact at a lower cut level |
| D3O-padded Predator | Varies | Varies | Adds palm impact and vibration |
Choose the PD43612 for the highest A9 cut in a leather driver, a HyperMax Predator for a lower cut level, or a D3O-padded model for palm impact. Compare in our best cut-resistant gloves guide and the wider impact glove range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cut level is the MCR PD43612?
It is rated ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A9 cut resistance, the highest cut level in the standard, from an engineered DuPont Kevlar aramid palm liner. A9 is intended for severe cut hazards such as heavy glass, metal stamping, and blade handling. Match the level to your hazard.
What impact protection does it offer?
A patented tire-tread TPR back of hand provides impact protection. MCR is transitioning this model from ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 1 to Level 2, so depending on stock you may receive either version. Confirm the current impact level on MCR's datasheet before relying on it.
What is the glove made of?
A grain goatskin leather driver shell over an engineered DuPont Kevlar aramid cut liner, with a patented tire-tread TPR back, a shirred elastic back, and a slip-on cuff. Goatskin is prized for dexterity and grip, and the Kevlar liner delivers the A9 cut rating.
How does the PD43612 differ from HyperMax-lined Predators?
The PD43612 uses a DuPont Kevlar aramid cut liner rated A9, while models like the PD2909 or PD3430 use a HyperMax HPPE liner at a different cut level. Choose the PD43612 when you need the highest A9 cut protection in a leather driver.
Does the PD43612 have D3O padding?
No. Its impact protection comes from the tire-tread TPR back, 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 is the tire-tread TPR back for?
The patented tire-tread-pattern TPR is molded across the back of the hand to guard against impact, pinch points, and struck-by hazards. It is the Predator line's signature back-of-hand protection and carries the impact rating.
What is the cuff and back style?
A shirred elastic back and a slip-on cuff, which pull on and off quickly and keep the glove snug at the wrist without a closure. It is a driver style, common for material handling where quick on and off matters.
What size is this listing?
MCR Safety offers the PD43612 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 A9 overkill for general work?
It can be. A9 is the top cut level for severe cut hazards; for lighter cut work a lower level such as A4 or A5 may offer more dexterity at lower cost. Match the cut level to your measured hazard rather than always choosing the highest.
Does the goatskin add cut resistance too?
Goatskin leather adds abrasion resistance and some cut resistance on its own, but the A9 rating comes from the engineered Kevlar aramid liner behind it. Together they give a durable, high-cut leather driver.
When should I replace the PD43612?
Replace them when the goatskin is cut through or worn thin, the Kevlar liner is exposed or frayed, the tire-tread TPR cracks or detaches, or the seams fail. Damaged gloves no longer deliver their rated cut or impact protection.
