Detailed Description

The MCR Safety PD2901 Predator series was developed in response to growing ANSI/ISEA 138 compliance requirements across general industry and construction sectors. As impact-related hand injuries — including fractures, crush injuries, and soft tissue damage — consistently rank among the most frequent and costly occupational hand injuries, safety managers have increasingly shifted procurement toward formally rated impact-protection gloves rather than relying on general-purpose work gloves. The Predator XXX-Large (SKU PD29013XL) answers this need for large-handed workers while maintaining the tactile feedback and flexibility that experienced tradespeople require.

The core of the Predator's protection system is its TPR dorsal shield configuration. TPR is a thermoplastic rubber compound that combines the softness and flexibility of rubber with the moldability and durability of thermoplastic materials. When formed into segmented impact guards, TPR deflects and absorbs energy from blunt force impacts — such as dropped tools, swinging machinery components, or contact with rebar and structural members — before that energy can transfer to the underlying metacarpal bones, knuckles, and finger joints. The segmented design allows each guard section to move independently, preserving natural hand articulation rather than creating a rigid "shell" that impedes fine motor tasks.

The synthetic leather palm of the PD29013XL is engineered to replicate the grip performance of genuine leather while offering superior moisture resistance and consistency between production batches. Genuine leather performance degrades significantly when wet, which is a common condition in construction and industrial environments. Synthetic leather maintains its grip coefficient across wet, dry, and lightly oiled surfaces, giving workers consistent tool control regardless of environmental conditions. The reinforced palm zone specifically targets the high-wear area at the base of the fingers and across the metacarpal ridge, where repetitive gripping and dragging motions concentrate abrasive wear most rapidly.

Size availability is a critical procurement consideration for B2B safety programs covering large, diverse workforces. MCR Safety offers the PD2901 Predator series across a full size range, including this XXX-Large variant, ensuring that organizations can equip every worker with properly fitted hand protection. Proper glove sizing is not merely a comfort issue — it directly affects protection performance. An oversized glove bunches at the fingers, reducing tactile feedback and creating pinch points; an undersized glove restricts circulation and fatigues the hand more rapidly. The PD29013XL is sized to meet the actual hand dimensions of workers at the large end of the population curve, ensuring compliant fit without compromise.

MCR Safety has built the Predator series as a practical workhorse for high-frequency replacement environments. B2B buyers managing large glove programs know that premium gloves are only effective when workers actually wear them, which means pricing must support adequate stock levels for routine replacement. The Predator series is positioned as a professional-grade impact glove at a price point that allows program managers to maintain sufficient inventory across all sizes without budgetary pressure driving workers toward unrated alternatives. Purchasing in case quantities allows distributors and end-users to reduce per-unit cost further while ensuring consistent product availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2 mean for the MCR Safety Predator impact gloves?

ANSI/ISEA 138 is the American standard for hand impact protection. Level 2 indicates the glove has passed testing for dorsal impact resistance at a moderate performance threshold, verified by third-party testing. It is the most common rating for general industrial and construction impact gloves.

Are these gloves suitable for cut hazards as well as impact hazards?

The PD29013XL is primarily rated for impact protection under ANSI/ISEA 138 and is not certified for cut resistance under ANSI/ISEA 105. If your application involves both cut and impact hazards, you should evaluate gloves that carry both ratings — MCR Safety and other manufacturers offer combination-rated styles.

How do I determine if XXX-Large is the right size for me?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand around the palm, excluding the thumb. XXX-Large typically fits hand circumferences of 12 inches (30.5 cm) or greater. For precise sizing, refer to MCR Safety's published size chart and measure both hand length and circumference.

Can these gloves be washed and reused?

The PD29013XL can be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water. Machine washing may degrade the TPR impact guards and synthetic leather palm over time. Allow to air dry — do not expose to high heat from dryers or direct flame sources, which can warp the TPR components.

What is the difference between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 ANSI/ISEA 138 impact ratings?

ANSI/ISEA 138 defines three levels of dorsal impact protection based on peak transmitted force during standardized testing. Level 1 is the entry threshold, Level 2 offers moderate impact attenuation suitable for most industrial applications, and Level 3 provides the highest rated impact resistance for extreme environments such as heavy drilling or mining.

Are these gloves approved for use in oil and gas environments?

The MCR Safety PD29013XL meets ANSI/ISEA 138 Level 2 impact requirements and is used in oil and gas field operations. However, glove selection for specific oil and gas environments should also consider chemical resistance requirements, which vary by site. Confirm suitability with your HSE team for environments involving chemical exposure.

How often should impact gloves be replaced?

There is no fixed service life standard for impact gloves, but they should be inspected before each use and replaced when the TPR guards show cracking or detachment, the palm shows significant wear-through, or the wrist closure fails to secure properly. In high-intensity applications, replacement every 1–3 months is common.

Can I order the MCR Safety Predator gloves in bulk for my workforce?
