MCR Safety PD43612M Predator Impact Gloves — Medium

For Medium-handed industrial mechanics requiring A9 cut resistance with goatskin leather durability and TPR dorsal impact protection in a single premium mechanics glove, the MCR Safety PD43612M Predator A9 Goatskin Kevlar Gloves in Medium (SKU: PD43612M) deliver the PD43612's triple-protection architecture for 8–9-inch hand circumferences. The combination of A9 cut-rated Kevlar lining, goatskin leather palm, and Predator TPR impact guards addresses the most demanding hand hazard profiles in precision mechanics, sharp-material handling, and heavy industrial assembly where cut, abrasion, and impact risks are simultaneously present.

• Hook-and-loop wrist closure — secure, adjustable fit
• Series: Predator A9 Goatskin Kevlar (PD43612)
• Brand: MCR Safety, ISO 9001-certified
• Compliance: ANSI/ISEA 138 Impact Protection, ANSI/ISEA 105 A9 Cut Resistance

Detailed Description

The PD43612 series is designed for applications where the hand hazard profile includes high-grade cut risk from sharp metal edges, significant abrasion from rough surfaces, and impact risk from tool use and structural contact — environments where single-hazard PPE requires workers to change gloves for different phases of work, or compromise protection by choosing a glove that partially addresses the hazard set. The PD43612's integrated A9 cut, goatskin leather, and TPR architecture eliminates this compromise for the most demanding industrial mechanics applications.

Goatskin leather is the premium natural leather choice for precision mechanics applications because of its combination of durability, oil resistance, and tactile sensitivity. Goatskin is thinner and more supple than cowhide or pigskin leather while maintaining superior abrasion resistance, allowing the wearer to feel tool handles and components through the palm material. For precision mechanical work — thread engagement, fastener torque sensing, valve actuation — this tactile feedback is operationally important. The PD43612M goatskin palm provides this sensitivity while meeting the heavy abrasion demands of construction and industrial mechanics.

The A9 Kevlar lining of the PD43612M provides the highest cut resistance classification under ANSI/ISEA 105 — the specification appropriate for metal stamping work, glass handling, laser-cut metal edge handling, and any application where sustained contact with sharp edges creates significant laceration risk. The Kevlar lining is integrated into the glove construction beneath the goatskin palm and around the finger surfaces, providing complete cut coverage without reducing the goatskin's dexterity contribution.

For Medium-handed workers, the PD43612M provides properly scaled multi-hazard protection for the 8–9-inch hand circumference. The goatskin palm panels are cut to Medium-specific dimensions, the Kevlar lining covers the complete finger and palm surface, and the TPR guards are positioned at the correct anatomical knuckle locations for Medium hands. This multi-layer, size-calibrated construction is what enables the PD43612 to deliver its full protection specification in real-world use.

Applications and Use Cases

• Metal fabrication — laser-cut and stamped edge handling requiring A9 cut protection
• Precision automotive mechanics — engine work with sharp component edges
• Industrial assembly — high-cut-hazard component handling with impact risk
• Glass installation and handling — cut and impact dual protection
• Mining and resource extraction — sharp material handling with impact exposure
• Heavy construction — sharp structural material with combined hazard profile

Frequently Asked Questions

What hand size does this product fit?

The PD43612M fits Medium hands with a circumference of approximately 8–9 inches. The glove is patterned to Medium-specific dimensions for proper goatskin palm coverage, Kevlar lining protection, and TPR guard alignment.

What is A9 cut resistance?

A9 is the highest cut resistance level under ANSI/ISEA 105, requiring the glove material to withstand a blade force exceeding 6,000 grams before cutting through. A9 is appropriate for applications with sharp metal edges, glass, and other cutting surfaces where lower cut resistance levels would be exceeded by the hazard exposure.

Why is goatskin leather preferred for precision mechanics over synthetic alternatives?

Goatskin leather is thinner and more supple than cowhide or synthetic alternatives while maintaining superior abrasion resistance. This combination provides tactile sensitivity for tool feel and component feedback that is operationally important in precision mechanics work, while durability for the abrasion exposure of construction and industrial maintenance.

What other sizes are available in the PD43612 series?

The PD43612 series is available from Medium through XX-Large in this listing, providing coverage for the primary hand size range. Contact wcsafety.com for complete size availability.

Can the PD43612 be used for glass handling operations?

Yes. The PD43612M's A9 Kevlar lining provides the cut resistance appropriate for glass handling where edge laceration is the primary hazard, and the TPR guards protect against the impact events that occur during glass panel handling and installation.
