 One of the best protective gloves you can buy July 15, 2010
Charlie (Michigan USA)
I've used Mechanix Original gloves for years, and have also bought less expensive clones from various hardware stores. The Mechanix Original gloves are made the best in terms of fit and overall quality. However, in terms of durability it is all about the same and I have to explain this. First off, the palm and finger surfaces are made of some nylon/polyurethane material that is highly resilient against abrasion and wear. The weakest link is the fake suede material on the sides of the fingers. This material first starts to pelt up and eventually wears into large holes. This is accelerated when you wash the gloves. Make sure you to wash it in COLD water only, and do not put it in the dryer.
The bulk of the glove is made of synthetic materials: polyurethane, nylon, spandex, etc... Although they don't have fancy knuckle protectors, I found these are more than adequate for protection. The M-Pact gloves are unnecessarily bulky and the knuckle protectors actually hurt my knuckles!
The less expensive Mechanix clone gloves last about as long as the Mechanix gloves at half the price. The only major difference is the overall fit and quality, and the Mechanix name. I make sure to wear the Mechanix gloves when working in the shop area with other mechanics, engineers, etc... but I use the clone gloves when I go shooting or when I work on my own vehicles because I put a lot of wear/tear and abuse on the gloves at home.
The best selling point of Mechanix gloves is how they feel like part of your hand when you wear them. You can pick up small objects with the greatest of ease, and it never feels cumbersome. The M-Pact gloves and other variants of Mechanix all feel bulky and thick. Just make sure not to use the Mechanix gloves around fire because they are not flame retardant.
Pros: Stylish, the brand is easily recognized, good quality and fit, excellent dexterity with good protection, affordable, easy to clean
Cons: Needs to be improved in some areas like the suede material on the sides of the fingers, and more reinforcement on the index and middle finger surfaces due to wear
Overall: 4/5 stars - not 5 only because a lot of clone gloves are just as good if you can look past minor quality deviations and the lack of the Mechanix brand

I actually first got a used pair of Mechanix gloves from my neighbor that he had laying around his garage... tried them and even with holes worn into the fingers in a few places I liked the fit and the velcro closure. Wanted a "pure" black pair for use when I go camping and shooting - just a good idea for saving those fleshy grippy things at the end of each arm from cuts, scrapes, pinches, etc. In fact, I patched up the original pair when my neighbor didn't want them back & those are still working great around the house here!
These Large Stealth (remember that the last 3 digits are the size - so 009 is Medium, 010 is Large, 011 is X-Large, etc.) fit great (see below). I am a little leery of the "thinner" velcro (doesn't look like the traditional velcro we've all come to know & love...) but so far it's holding & working great. If they had the "normal" velcro, I probably would've bumped up to all five stars. Now to order & try a tan pair and maybe a cold-weather pair too.
For some additional detail on the fit - these almost feel like a 2nd skin. I can pick up nickles & quarters with my fingertips in these - and that just doesn't happen with a lot of gloves out there. Can't pick up dimes though. I can break branches or change mags in my Ruger 10/22 by touch and still have excellent protection for my digits, knuckles, and the rest of my hand. Get them - for the price, they have good durability and excellent fit & feel.
Great Lightweight Glove March 10, 2010

This is a fantastic all around light weight glove. The are comfortable enough to wear all day and are useful for any tasked needing light gloves. I have worn them for work (military stuff), shooting, dirty work, mechanical work and even as a summer glove for motorcycle riding. As a motorcycle glove they are good for around town sort of trips. The are not very thick and so vibration can be an issue on longer trips.. But for the price they fit better than many gloves that cost twice as much and can usually be found at the local Walmart.
Great dexterity, great fit March 8, 2010

At first I was skeptic about Mechanix Wear's sizing chart (located in their website). It said I was a medium but I had always thought I would fit a small better. I ordered the medium regardless and once I tried it on, it fit amazingly! I was surprised how comfortable it was. It's thick but I am still able to text with my phone while wearing these gloves. The covert color is perfect for me. This is my first Mechanix Wear and will certainly not be my last.
