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

In this review the MAGID T-REX TRX818 gloves are evaluated for heavy-duty tasks where both cut resistance and impact protection matter. The bottom line: these are work gloves built for rough environments that still prioritize comfort - the grain goatskin shell and 18-gauge Hyperon liner deliver surprising dexterity and a cool feel while the M-Force Defense System provides fingertip-to-knuckle impact coverage. For workers in oil and gas, construction, demolition, or steelwork who need ANSI A5 cut protection plus impact dampening, these gloves balance protection and wearability better than many bulkier alternatives.

Key Features

• Grain goatskin shell: provides abrasion resistance and a natural, soft feel that improves dexterity compared with thicker leather shells.
• 18-Gauge Hyperon liner: delivers ANSI A5 cut resistance while remaining lightweight and cool-to-the-touch for extended wear on hot jobs.
• M-Force Defense System: back-of-hand impact guards extend to the fingertips to absorb knocks and reduce blunt-force risk to knuckles and fingers.
• TPR pinch guard: an additional thermoplastic rubber reinforcement between thumb and index finger protects a common pinch and wear point.
• Gunn cut pattern and shirred elastic: the gunn cut improves comfort and fit while shirred elastic on the back keeps the glove secure during repetitive work.

Who It's For

These gloves are aimed at professionals and serious DIYers working in environments with both cut and impact hazards: rigging, heavy construction, steel handling, demolition, and agriculture. The leather shell and reinforced back-of-hand protection make them suitable where abrasion resistance and blunt-force protection are needed together.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need touchscreen compatibility or extremely fine tactile sensitivity for small electronics work, and anyone who requires a snug, true-to-size fit without trying on first, since customer feedback on fit is mixed.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable goatskin leather combines abrasion resistance with a comfortable, soft feel for extended wear.

• Reinforced pinch point and gunn cut pattern improve longevity and dexterity.

Cons

• Not designed for touchscreen use or ultra-fine tactile tasks.
