Good gloves but they don't effectively protect the palms and against sharp objects/vegetation. But for shooting and working with sensitive tasks these are great.
Mechanix Wear M-Pact Material 4X Tactical Gloves - Blk/Tan
Tactical gloves available in brown and black are engineered to provide essential mechanical protection for the hands. With an ergonomic fit, they offer optimal grip control and enable highly accurate hand movements. Well-suited for military personnel, law enforcement, shooting sports users, as well as those involved in survival adventures, automotive repair, DIY projects, and airsoft activities.
TrekDry material, TPR plastic, Impact Guard panel
The upper section of the gloves features a breathable TrekDry material, reinforced with robust panels crafted from TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber). This construction delivers protection against abrasions and impacts from contact with external objects. Segmented panel design ensures unrestricted finger movement and flexibility. Additional defense for the index finger knuckle is provided by the Impact Guard, which incorporates EVA foam padding.
Material4X leather, d3O inserts, Armortex fabric
Textured fingertip surfaces have been reinforced with inserts crafted from durable Material4X synthetic leather, delivering superior abrasion and tear resistance. The glove’s underside features D3O inserts to effectively absorb impact energy and vibrations across the metacarpal region, complemented by grip-enhancing panels made from Armortex fabric for optimal hand traction. The cuff secures with a Velcro closure.
EN388-4121 standard
Gloves comply with the protective standard EN388 at level 2131XP, offering resistance against mechanical hazards as follows:
- 2: Resistance to abrasion (scale 0–4)
- 1: Resistance to cutting (scale 0–5)
- 3: Resistance to tearing (scale 0–4)
- 1: Resistance to puncture (scale 0–4)
- X: Cut resistance — TDM test (ISO 13997) (scale A–F)
- P: Impact protection (meets testing criteria)
Under the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is measured on a scale from 1 to 6, indicating how many cycles a material endures before wearing out. Cut resistance ranges from A1 to A9, progressing from minimum to maximum protection. For puncture resistance, the scale is from 0 to 5 and reflects the force necessary to pierce the glove with a sharp probe (not applicable to needle puncture).
The scale outlined in the EN388 standard specifies glove protection levels: a score of 0 means no protection, while higher scores (4, 5) represent maximum resistance.
The TDM method (ISO 13997) uses letter indicators, with A as the lowest and F as the highest protection rating.
X signifies that a particular property was either untested or not applicable, while P confirms the glove passes the requirements for impact protection.

TPR, or thermoplastic rubbeTPR, or thermoplastic rubber, is a material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. It is flexible and durable, and is often used in the manufacture of tool handles, gaskets, footwear, and many other products, as it provides comfort, good grip and wear resistance.r, is a type of synthetic material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. TPR is characterized by its flexibility and abrasion resistance.
TrekDry is a modern material characterized by high breathability. It effectively wicks moisture away from the surface of the skin, which helps to keep it dry and thermally comfortable during intense physical activity. It fits to the shape of the hand, ensuring freedom of movement and increasing precision during various activities.
Armortex is a durable material that is highly resistant to abrasion, tearing and cutting. Its special synthetic fiber structure reinforces the areas most vulnerable to damage, and the special texture ensures better grip and a secure hold. It prevents the gloves from becoming wet in contact with water, oil or other liquids.
D3O is a modern material with intelligent molecules that move freely during normal use. However, at the moment of impact, they fuse together, absorbing and dispersing energy, then rapidly return to an elastic state. As a result, the material effectively reduces vibration, protects hands from injury and reduces hand strain while working.
Impact Guard is a protective panel that protects the outer part of the hand from impact and injury. The reinforcement is made of flexible EVA foam, providing effective cushioning without restricting finger dexterity, allowing full freedom of movement with comfortable and precise work.
Material4X is an innovative synthetic material developed by Mechanix Wear that combines the softness of natural leather with many times the durability. It is resistant to abrasion, tears and punctures, while retaining flexibility and excellent feel. Material4X does not harden when wet, dries quickly and is washable.

Very good gloves, they fit the hand perfectly and are carefully sewn. They work great both in combat situations and during training on the training ground. The reinforcements are durable, and the gloves themselves can already be called classic.
-
The gloves are very sturdy and comfortable. They fit the hand well, provide excellent protection, and at the same time do not restrict finger movements. They work well both in the field and for technical tasks. The quality of workmanship is very high.

I have already had gloves of this model and they were phenomenal, but the Velcro came off on the right glove, so I bought a second pair and I am happy using them in the ASG zone.

In May this year, I also bought new MPact 1 gloves in black. They are exactly what I needed. I plan to use them together with my new service uniform.
