MCR Safety PD6951 Predator Impact Gloves, HyperMax Knit + PU Palm Overview
The MCR Safety PD6951 Predator impact gloves are a coated-knit mechanics glove that pairs cut resistance with back-of-hand impact protection. A 13-gauge gray cut-resistant HyperMax HPPE knit shell handles cut resistance, a gray polyurethane palm coating adds durability, abrasion resistance, and grip, and patented tire-tread TPR on the back of the hand, fingers, and thumb guards against impact. A hi-visibility fluorescent lime TPR and a reinforced thumb crotch round out the build.
As HyperMax HPPE cut gloves, the PD6951 is a dexterous cut-and-impact knit: the HPPE knit shell carries the cut resistance, the PU-coated palm gloves surface grips and resists wear, and the tire-tread TPR gloves coverage on the back, fingers, and thumb adds the Predator line's impact armor. That makes these a flexible pair of cut and impact gloves for mixed handling where feel matters.
Like any item in impact-resistant gloves, match the glove to the hazard. This is a cut-and-impact glove, but the exact ANSI cut and impact levels are not stated for this SKU, so confirm both on MCR's datasheet; it is not chemical or heat PPE. Compare this cut-resistant glove and mechanics glove against leather and other tiers in our guides, and browse material-handling gloves before ordering.
What These Predator Gloves Are Built For
| Use case | Fit | Buyer guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Mixed cut and impact handling | Purpose-built | HyperMax HPPE knit plus tire-tread TPR cover both hazards. |
| Dexterity-first tasks | Strong | A 13-gauge knit and thin PU coat keep good feel versus a leather driver. |
| Grip and abrasion | Strong | The PU palm coating grips and resists wear on tools and parts. |
| High-visibility job sites | Strong | Fluorescent lime TPR keeps hands visible on the back and fingers. |
| 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 β laceration and back-of-hand impact β 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 impact level against your task, size the glove correctly for dexterity, inspect the knit, PU coating, TPR, thumb crotch, 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
- 13-gauge cut-resistant HyperMax HPPE knit shell
- PU palm coating for grip, durability, and abrasion resistance
- Tire-tread TPR on back, fingers, and thumb for impact
- Hi-visibility fluorescent lime TPR
- Reinforced thumb crotch for wear life
- Exact ANSI cut and impact levels not stated β confirm on MCR's datasheet
- No D3O palm padding β use a D3O Predator for that
- Knit and PU coat are less rugged than leather for heavy abrasion
- Confirm the size on this listing before ordering
How It Compares
The PD6951 is the HyperMax-knit, PU-coated cut-and-impact Predator. Weigh it against the alternatives before ordering:
| Model | Construction | Coating | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| PD6951 (this page) | HyperMax HPPE knit | PU palm | Dexterous cut plus impact |
| PD6954 | HyperMax HPPE knit | Foam nitrile, touchscreen | Grip in oil, device use |
| PD43612 / leather driver | Goatskin leather | None | Rugged leather-driver cut + impact |
Choose the PD6951 for a dexterous PU-coated cut knit, the PD6954 for a nitrile-foam touchscreen knit, or a leather driver for a rugged build. Compare in our best cut-resistant gloves guide and the wider impact glove range.

Frequently Asked Questions
What protection does the MCR PD6951 offer?
Cut and impact: a 13-gauge cut-resistant HyperMax HPPE knit shell for cut resistance, a polyurethane palm coating for grip and abrasion, and patented tire-tread TPR on the back of the hand, fingers, and thumb for impact protection. It is not chemical or heat protection.
What ANSI cut level is the PD6951?
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 HyperMax HPPE knit shell provides cut resistance; confirm the specific level on MCR's datasheet against your cut hazard.
What impact level does it carry?
Patented tire-tread TPR on the back of the hand, fingers, and thumb provides impact protection, but the exact ANSI/ISEA 138 level is not stated for this SKU. Confirm the impact level on MCR's datasheet before relying on it for a specific hazard.
What is the palm coating?
A gray polyurethane (PU) palm coating over the HyperMax knit. PU coating adds durability, abrasion resistance, and grip while staying thin and flexible, which keeps the glove dexterous for tasks that need feel.
Is the PD6951 a knit or leather glove?
It is a coated-knit glove: a 13-gauge HyperMax HPPE knit shell with a PU palm coating, not a leather driver. Knit gloves are more form-fitting and breathable than leather, and the HPPE knit carries the cut resistance.
What makes the TPR hi-visibility?
The patented tire-tread TPR on the back, fingers, and thumb is a fluorescent lime color, which makes the gloves easier to see and identify on a busy or low-light site while still delivering back-of-hand impact protection.
Does the PD6951 have D3O padding?
No. Its impact protection comes from the tire-tread TPR on the back, fingers, and thumb, 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.
Why the reinforced thumb crotch?
The thumb crotch is a high-wear area where gloves often fail first. The PD6951 reinforces it with hi-tech nylon stitching for extra durability, extending the useful life of the glove during repetitive gripping tasks.
What size is this listing?
MCR Safety offers the PD6951 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 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 PD6951 good for handling sharp materials?
The HyperMax HPPE knit shell is designed for cut resistance, which helps with sharp edges, but 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 handling if needed.
When should I replace the PD6951?
Replace them when the knit or PU coating wears through, the HyperMax shell is cut or frayed, the tire-tread TPR cracks or detaches, the thumb crotch fails, or the seams give way. Damaged gloves no longer deliver their rated cut or impact protection.
