MAGID T-REX ANSI A5 Cut Resistant Impact Glove 24 Pair - Size 11 XXL

In this review the MAGID T-REX TRX818 is evaluated for heavy-duty work where both cut resistance and impact protection matter. The bottom line: these gloves are best for professionals who need a durable leather driver glove that still allows dexterity, because the goatskin shell plus a premium 18-gauge Hyperon liner delivers a rare mix of abrasion resistance, cooling comfort, and ANSI A5 cut protection. The review focuses on fit, protection, and how well the M-Force Defense System reduces blunt-force risk on knuckles and fingers.

Key Features

• Goatskin shell: soft grain goatskin provides excellent abrasion resistance and a comfortable, tactile feel that helps maintain dexterity for handling hardware and tools.
• Hyperon liner: the 18-gauge knit liner gives high cut resistance while remaining cool-to-the-touch so hands stay comfortable during long shifts.
• M-Force Defense System: back-of-hand protection extends to the fingertips to absorb impacts to knuckles and fingers in impact-prone tasks.
• TPR pinch guard: an added thermoplastic rubber guard between thumb and index finger secures a common pinch point and reduces injury risk during rigging or material handling.
• Gunn cut and elastic wrist: the gunn cut pattern and shirred elastic on the back improve fit and flexibility for repeated gripping motions.
• ANSI ratings: certified ANSI Level A5 cut resistance with ANSI Level 4 puncture resistance and ANSI/ISEA 38 Impact Level 1 protection on knuckles and fingers.

Who It's For

The MAGID T-REX is aimed at tradespeople and industrial workers in sectors like oil and gas rigging, heavy construction, demolition, steelwork, and agriculture who need combined cut and impact protection without sacrificing feel. The leather shell and impact system make it suitable where blunt-force hazards and abrasion are common.

Workers who require very precise fingertip sensitivity for fine assembly or those who need smaller sizes should look elsewhere; some buyers report mixed feedback about fit, so anyone between sizes should try a sample first or consider alternate sizing if prefered.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable goatskin exterior balances abrasion resistance with a soft feel for improved comfort on extended jobs.
• High cut protection from the 18-gauge Hyperon liner keeps hands safer around sharp edges while remaining breathable.
• M-Force back-of-hand impact guards and fingertip coverage reduce risk from blunt impacts common in rigging and demolition.
• The gunn cut and wrist elastic enhance fit and flexibility for repetitive gripping tasks.

Cons

• Fit is mixed among customers; some find the sizing not true for their hands so careful size selection is recommended.
• Impact protection rated at Level 1 is moderate; users facing very high-energy impacts may need heavier duty options.
