Mechanix Wear Original Core 3 Tactical Gloves – Covert

Versatile, durable gloves designed to provide basic mechanical protection. Thanks to their perfect fit, they ensure full grip control and do not hinder the performance of precise tasks. They are ideal for law enforcement officers, military personnel, shooting sports enthusiasts, as well as for survival expeditions, car workshop tasks, DIY projects, and ASG games.

Breathable CoolPlus fabric, touchscreen compatibility, Lock Ring technology

The upper part of the gloves is made of breathable, lightweight CoolPlus fabric, which reduces hand perspiration and ensures optimal ventilation. The one-piece construction reduces the number of seams and increases the durability of the gloves, while the mesh fabric is resistant to tears and snags. The durable 0.8 mm thick synthetic leather used for the inner part provides a strong grip and control, and allows you to operate touchscreen devices without removing the gloves. The Lock Ring panel protects the sensitive area around the thumb, increasing the durability of the construction and reducing damage-prone seams.

Strong, adjustable TPR closure, Freedom-Flex cuff, 2-piece hand construction

The cuff is fastened with a TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber – compliant with EN 13594) strap using Velcro. The 2-piece inner palm and stitched Freedom-Flex cuff reduce curling and bunching, improving the fit of the gloves and ensuring complete freedom of movement. The lower palm area features a ventilated lining that improves air circulation and protects against injuries.

EN388-2121X Protection standard

The gloves meet the American protective standard ANSI/ISEA 105 at level 3XX in terms of resistance to cutting, abrasion, and puncture, which means:

• 3: abrasion resistance (on a scale from 1 to 6)
• X: cut resistance (on a scale from A1 to A9)
• X: puncture resistance (on a scale from 0 to 5)

The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 2121X in terms of resistance to mechanical risks, which means:

• 2: abrasion resistance (on a scale of 0–4)
• 1: cut resistance (on a scale of 0–5)
• 2: tear resistance (on a scale of 0–4)
• 1: puncture resistance (on a scale of 0–4)
• X: cut resistance – TDM test (ISO 13997) (on a scale of A–F)

In the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is rated on a scale from 1 to 6 and refers to the number of cycles a material can withstand before wearing out. Cut resistance is classified on a scale from A1 to A9 (from the lowest to the highest level of protection). Puncture resistance is rated on a scale from 0 to 5 and indicates the force required to puncture the glove surface with a sharp probe (does not apply to needle puncture).

The scales specified in the EN388 standard define the level of glove protection: a value of 0 indicates no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum level of resistance.
