I have a few pairs of tact gloves and am thinking of grabbing a pair of mechanix. Are they really that far superior o other gloves on the market?

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.;-)

We think so, but don't take our word for it. Check out a little behind the scenes footage .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=24&v;=TaSxmyVIGCw

We used them exclusively on all of our crew members when we had a race team several years ago. We felt they were the best for what we wanted.Thanks

For the price, definitely. I tried several different pairs of tactical gloves and these are much better. Very light, but durable. Just make sure you use the sizing chart they have on their website if you don't try them on first.

Their strongest selling point is not their warmth but their waterproofing. I work in the TV/Film business and it's true that on a below freezing day when I'm handling aluminum pipe they get cold pretty quickly, but when it's snowing/raining they can keep my hands dry for hours. So if cold is the only problem then these aren't the gloves for you but if you have to work in the wet, they are great and really do still give a decent grip even on wet slippery surfaces.

No good for that. These gloves are very thick and even underwater they are kind of hard to maneuver. Look into gloves with "thinsulation" I have some from Wilsons Leather and they're great.

The grip is very good. I'm very happy with the grip and the dexterity. I've had these gloves over a year now, but I've only been through one winter. I've washed them a few times. When I do wear them, it's only for about an hour per day during my pre or post flight checks, about 15 days per month. So, my gloves get light usage. With that being said, they are in excellent condition, have held up well in storage, and I haven't had any problems. I like these gloves.

I really don't think so. After getting these I am not all too impressed with them. They fit tighter than expected and knife points go right through them. They are kinda slippery like wool or mitten style gloves. I went with hexarmor gloves instead. They really protect from cuts and lacerations on a level that is highly above the competition. look up their site you will love the gloves. They take a little bit to break in but after having them for 6 months they hold up well to the abuse I put them through. Hope this helps

The standard original mechanix gloves don't, however you cal certainly find the M-pact mechanix, for just a few dollars more and those for sure have hard knuckles and impact palms.

I would compare them to leather work gloves. I can grip a ski rope or the rope handle but I have trouble picking up a dime. Hope this helps you.

"Sandeep, I also have these gloves and they are great for all my needs. Keep fingers warm in the coldest weather and I compete with them in shoot competitions which require fast firing, reloading and fire in all conditions, never failed me once. Since they are very thin and stretch comfortably they will probably serve your need very well, however I have not used them for that purpose,yet. Hope this helps, good luck

Hello, On the Mechanix website there is a printable sizing chart that will pinpoint the size that fits you the best. Go to the bottom of the home page and you will find the tab it labeled glove sizing chart. Hope this helps.

I bought the gloves just for dh and all mountain riding.I love it. For motorcycle,It's kind of thin.By the way it feels a size smaller than it should be.You may have to order next size bigger.

I've only tried these gloves.... They are amazing!! They work fantastic and wash up well in the machine. They must be dry when using though, since dampness will conduct the heat.

I would say they run fairly consistent with regular gloves. I got the M and I have an in-between size of S & M. I wouldn't get anything smaller.

Living in S Fla and using them as a substitute for riding gloves (good ones cost more) I can only say they've been comfortable when I take my VTX out for 2-3 hrs.. There is a thin inner liner so it's not skin to leather. Well see how it is this summer.

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.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I wonder if they've changed the way the make the gloves. That would be disappointing.

Joe, I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy
