Description
The M-Pact 3 is the heavy hitter of the M-Pact family, built for folks who put their hands in harm's way and want real coverage without turning into oven mitts. The star of the show is the dense one-piece thermoplastic rubber knuckle guard, anatomically shaped to soak up a forceful blow to the back of the hand while still letting your fingers move naturally. Underneath, EVA accordion padding runs along the outside of the thumb and fingers to knock down impact and pinch points. This is the coyote colorway in size XL, which pairs nicely with FDE gear if you're running a matched setup.
What Sets the M-Pact 3 Apart
The synthetic leather palm is where a lot of the daily work happens. It's infused with touchscreen material, so you can run your phone or a tablet without stripping down, and the embossed pattern adds grip where you're gripping hardest. Internal fingertip reinforcement bumps up abrasion resistance in the spot that wears out first, and the TPR wrist closure cinches things down for a secure fit. Nylon carrier loops let you clip them to a belt or bag between uses.
Fit and Feel on the M-Pact 3
These lean toward a snug, protective fit rather than a second-skin feel, so if you're right between sizes, most people find they run a touch small and break in with a little wear. Range users consistently note the fingers aren't so bulky that they get in the way of trigger work, and the fingertips give decent tactile feedback for a glove with this much armor on it. That said, this is a heavy-duty combat glove first, so it prioritizes knuckle and finger protection over ultra-fine dexterity.
Where the M-Pact 3 Earns Its Keep
Between the molded knuckle guard, padded fingers, and reinforced palm, this glove covers the bases for tactical training, patrol duty, airsoft, and hard-use work like wrenching or handling rough material. If you want serious back-of-hand protection that still lets you run gear and manipulate controls, the M-Pact 3 is a workhorse that's earned its reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the M-Pact 3 gloves work with touchscreens?
Yes. The synthetic leather palm is infused with touchscreen material, so you can use your phone or tablet without pulling the gloves off. It handles the basics well, though very small or precise screen taps can still be a little fiddly with any padded glove.
How do the M-Pact 3 gloves fit for sizing?
They tend to run on the snug side and lean toward a protective, tighter fit out of the box. If you're between sizes, most folks suggest thinking carefully before going down, since the wrist and palm break in and loosen up a bit with wear. The XL fits standard extra-large hands once broken in.
Are the M-Pact 3 gloves good for shooting?
They're a solid choice for range and tactical use. The fingers aren't overly bulky, the trigger finger fits in the guard without fuss, and the fingertips give usable feedback. Keep in mind this is a heavy-duty combat glove, so it favors knuckle and finger protection over the paper-thin feel of a dedicated precision shooting glove.
What kind of protection does the M-Pact 3 knuckle guard offer?
The one-piece molded thermoplastic rubber knuckle guard is anatomically shaped to absorb blunt impact to the back of the hand and meets the EN 13594 impact standard. Combined with the EVA accordion padding on the fingers and thumb, it gives you serious coverage against knocks, debris, and pinch points while keeping your hand mobile.
