The TPR guard system covers the knuckle and extended dorsal surface, providing energy absorption for both acute impact events and the cumulative low-energy contact impacts that are inherent to daily mechanical work in tight spaces and on construction sites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Large format of the PD4971L is engineered for workers with 9–10-inch hand circumferences. The pattern dimensions ensure TPR guards are positioned at the correct anatomical knuckle locations for Large hands, and the synthetic leather palm panels provide complete coverage from heel to finger bases. This size-specific engineering is the foundation of the Predator series' protection effectiveness — guards that are correctly positioned protect; guards that are shifted by incorrect sizing do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn industrial plant maintenance applications, the PD4971L provides protection for the overhead, confined-space, and reach-in work patterns that place the dorsal hand surface at impact risk from equipment structures. Industrial maintenance mechanics routinely work in positions where visibility of the hand's position is limited, making passive dorsal protection from TPR guards essential for preventing the unwitnessed knuckle and dorsal contact events that accumulate into chronic hand injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe synthetic leather palm of the PD4971L provides the oil resistance and abrasion durability needed for industrial maintenance work involving lubricated components, hydraulic equipment, and rough structural materials. The consistent grip of synthetic leather on oil-contaminated tool handles and component surfaces reduces the hand force required for secure tool control, decreasing fatigue during extended-shift mechanical work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Use Cases\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndustrial plant maintenance — mechanical and hydraulic systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutomotive service — engine and drivetrain work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConstruction trades — structural framing and ironwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEquipment maintenance — heavy machinery and mobile equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUtility and infrastructure maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGeneral manufacturing with impact and grip requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"6\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;\"\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAttribute\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePD4971L\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct ID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8747244355672\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarge (hand circumference 9–10 in.)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnuckle\/Dorsal Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReinforced TPR Guards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalm Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSynthetic Leather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBack Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpandex with TPR Guards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHook-and-Loop Wrist\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeries\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePredator (PD4971)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMCR Safety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompliance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eANSI\/ISEA 138 Impact Protection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSold As\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePer pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/impact-gloves\"\u003eImpact Gloves — Knuckle and Dorsal Protection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mechanics-gloves\"\u003eMechanics Gloves — Assembly and Precision Work\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/work-gloves\"\u003eWork Gloves — General Industrial\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mcr-safety\"\u003eMCR Safety — Complete Product Line\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/leather-work-gloves\"\u003eLeather Work Gloves — Full Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What hand size does this product fit?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"The PD4971L fits Large hands with a circumference of approximately 9–10 inches.
