MCR Safety PD6951-XXL Predator A6 Impact PU Gloves — XX-Large

The MCR Safety PD6951-XXL Predator gloves in XX-Large are a dual-rated hand protection solution for industrial workers who face simultaneous cut and impact hazards on job sites where a single-rated glove falls short. Rated to ANSI/ISEA 105 Level A6 for cut resistance and independently tested for impact protection per ANSI/ISEA 138-2019, the PD6951 combines a HyperMax HPPE shell with a polyurethane palm coating and structured TPR impact guards over the knuckles and fingers. The XX-Large size serves workers in structural steel, oil and gas, heavy construction, and mining who require a properly fitted large-format glove — not a stretched XL — for tasks that demand both grip dexterity and dorsal hand protection.

Key Features

• ANSI/ISEA 105 A6 Cut Resistance — 3000-gram cut force resistance rating covers the sharp-edge hazards typical of construction, oil and gas, and heavy industrial tasks
• ANSI/ISEA 138-2019 Impact Rated — Independently tested impact protection, not just marketing language; verified at the knuckle and finger guard locations
• Structured TPR Knuckle and Finger Guards — Thermoplastic rubber impact protection positioned at the most common dorsal impact sites
• Polyurethane Palm Coating — Thin, tactile PU coat provides dry grip and abrasion resistance while maintaining hand sensitivity for tool use
• HyperMax HPPE Shell — High-performance HPPE fiber construction delivers A6 cut protection in a lightweight, comfortable shell
• XX-Large (2XL) Sizing — Properly fitted for workers with larger hands, avoiding the grip and dexterity loss of an undersized glove
• Extended Knit Cuff — Provides additional wrist coverage and secures the glove in place during demanding tasks
• Natural Hand Articulation — Glove design allows full range of finger and knuckle movement despite impact guard presence

Detailed Description

Workers in heavy construction and oil field environments encounter a spectrum of hand hazards in a single shift — rebar edges on a concrete pour, tool impacts during driving and fitting operations, structural steel edges during erection, and rough surface abrasion during material handling. The MCR Safety Predator PD6951-XXL is engineered for exactly this reality: a worker who cannot swap gloves between tasks needs one glove that handles the full hazard profile.

At the A6 cut resistance level, the PD6951 provides protection against the majority of sharp-edge hazards present in construction and industrial environments. Rebar, structural steel cut edges, pipe ends, wire rope, and sheet metal transitions all present cut hazards in the A4-A6 range for most handling scenarios. Workers in these environments who are currently using A4-rated gloves and experiencing cut-throughs should evaluate whether A6 is the appropriate step up for their specific task profile.

The polyurethane palm coating on the PD6951-XXL is applied in a thin, form-fitting layer that conforms closely to the fingertips and palm surface. This coating method preserves tactile sensitivity — the ability to feel tool handles, fastener heads, and fitting surfaces through the glove — which is important for workers who need to manipulate equipment precisely. The PU surface also resists abrasion from rough concrete, steel decking, and aggregate materials that can wear through thicker coatings prematurely.

XX-Large sizing in the Predator line is designed from the ground up for larger hand dimensions — not simply a scaled version of a medium glove. The palm width, finger length, and cuff circumference are all proportioned for a 2XL hand, which means workers with genuine XX-Large hands get the same fit quality, dexterity, and protection coverage as workers in smaller sizes. For procurement managers, this means fewer complaints, better compliance with glove-wearing policies, and more consistent protection across large crews.

The TPR impact guards on the dorsal surface of the PD6951-XXL are specifically positioned over the metacarpal knuckles and the dorsal finger surfaces — the areas most commonly struck during tool slippage, pinch-point events, and contact with structural members. Unlike foam padding that compresses permanently after the first significant impact, TPR maintains its energy-absorption profile across repeated impacts, providing consistent protection throughout the glove's service life.

Applications and Use Cases

• Structural Steel Erection and Iron Work — Beam rigging, bolting, and placement where sharp edges and tool impacts are constant
• Oil and Gas Drilling and Production — Pipe handling, wrench work, and tool operation in environments with simultaneous cut and impact hazards
• Rebar Installation and Concrete Work — Tying, cutting, and placing rebar; handling formwork with exposed fasteners
• Heavy Equipment Maintenance — Mechanical work on large equipment where sharp metal components and hand tool impacts are routine
• Mining Equipment Operations — Material handling and equipment maintenance in surface and underground mine environments
• Industrial Pipefitting — Pipe handling, fitting, and flange work where both sharp pipe edges and wrench/tool impacts occur
• Utility Line Work — Conductor handling, hardware installation, and tool use in transmission and distribution environments
