The Mechanix Wear M-Pact 3 gloves deliver maximum impact protection without sacrificing dexterity for tactical operations, shooting sports, and demanding work environments. Built with synthetic leather palms and thermoplastic rubber (TPR) knuckle guards, these gloves shield hands from impacts while maintaining the tactile feedback essential for weapon manipulation and precision tasks.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard work gloves, the M-Pact 3 features dual-layer synthetic leather in high-wear areas and segmented TPR protection that flexes with natural hand movement. The accordion knuckle design distributes impact forces across a wider surface area compared to rigid protection systems. Strategic padding placement protects metacarpals and fingers while preserving trigger finger sensitivity through a thinner palm construction.
Key Features
- Thermoplastic rubber knuckle and finger guards absorb impacts up to 40 joules
- Dual-layer synthetic leather palm provides 2x wear resistance over single-layer designs
- 0.6mm palm thickness maintains trigger finger sensitivity and magazine manipulation
- Hook and loop closure system with TPR pull tab for secure fit adjustment
- Accordion finger joints allow full range of motion without binding
- Coyote brown colorway meets military uniform regulations
- Machine washable construction withstands repeated cleaning cycles
Field performance testing shows consistent dexterity retention across temperature ranges from -10°F to 120°F. The synthetic leather construction resists oil, fuel, and cleaning solvents commonly encountered in armory and maintenance environments. Shooters report maintained accuracy during extended range sessions, while the impact protection proves valuable during breaching operations and equipment handling.
