There is definitely a Velcro closure on my gloves. Gloves fit perfectly and I do not find them hard to get off and on.

Yes mine have velcro. I purchased a size large and have long hands they fit fine. The first few trys they are a little hard to get off especially if you sweat. But they are easy now.

Yep! There IS a Velcro closure, and I don't think the gloves are difficult to remove at all. They work great for me.

There is a velcro closure but the gloves are difficult to remove if you buy one of your size, you should buy a bigger size to avoid this

First of all I must say I love these gloves and have 2 pairs, one of which I have washed many times. The gloves still looks like new. I wash them in the washing machine on delicate with cold water. Best wishes. ps. They really help my hands.

James, my wife uses the wrap. She really doesn't care for it, but she wears it anyway. U insert ur thumb thru the opening, then the velcro wraps around the wrist as tight as u want it. It can be used on either hand. Hope this helps.

I never really noticed. Why does that matter? You're working out and they feel comfortable and properly cushion your hand. The only thing I've seen is that the edges around the wrist area absorb a little sweat. I use the natural coloured one and would not have noticed this as much with the black gloves but I still like the colour I chose. :)

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

What size did you buy? I have not had that problem, BUT I bought the Large Gloves and they fit me right, straight out of the box, so, I am not sure why you're experiencing this issue. So you have no issue with the other "fingers", JUST the thump and the pointing finger, right?Personally, I would keep them based on quality, but that's an opinion based on 3+ years of continuous use.

There's another D ring across from it. Its hard to close them at first, but gets easier over time and practice. Best way is to put the first d ring through backwards. Hard to explain, but rather than pushing it through from its front edge, as seems natural, put the back end through and sort of loop it in and over the other ring.

Yes the closure is with velcro but I've filled mine a few times and it still opens and shuts fine. Hope this helps.

I tape my knuckles and use wraps. These gloves were great for a while but something changed inside my right glove and now my pinky & ring knuckle get bruised even with tape and wraps under the gloves. Ultimately, it depends on how big your hands are, and how well they fit inside the gloves. I have very small hands.

The gloves are black. The picture is way off on color. I was a little concerned too, but I needed them and the price was right so I took a chance. FYI the plastic shielding is flat black, elastic on the sides of fingers is black and the fabric on the palms is black with little pin dots of grey in a design pattern. I think they wanted it to look like it was woven. Good luck!

No closure but it's a steal. Very nice quality leather so I bought 3. Hope that helps!

I do not have the gloves with me right now, but I can tell you that they are very small on me--constricting. I did try to get the right size, but I would select a larger size if I were to order them again.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. Now that you mention it, the red gloves are bigger. I think I'm with you and will not re-order the red. Just glad that someone else out there experienced the same thing and that I'm not crazy! Thanks again!

I say no, while my husband's surgery sight was well wrapped, the seal was so tight that it was impossible to get it on without causing pain. As he tried to pull it over the bandage the seal-ring area came off his hand and snapped on the bandage area & pulled on his stitches and caused quite a bit of pain. Perhaps the difference between him and other 3 that responded is they didn't have stitches?

Hi, Just went to try these on to make sure, and they could be used on either hand, or both at the same time, when taking something heavy out of oven...They have the silicone on both sides of the glove, so you can use either glove on either right or left. :)

I don't know about that. When you wear the glove liners, it makes your gloves warmer. If you get too hot, you can take off the outer pair. Might be worth a try , and don't cost much.

I only use them at night and on my right hand, where I have some arthritis. That doesn't mean the left hand glove is useless. I just turn it inside out, and: voila!, it is for my right hand also.
