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.

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.

I have used Bionic gloves for over 5 years - just purchased 2 more - love them! They are the best! If the logo has changed the gloves have not. Work great!

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.

Hi there Yes 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

I bought gloves at Home depot. They are a heavier gauge latex for use with solvents. Just ask the employees there, they are very helpful.

In my humble opinion perhaps cyclist prefer the dexterity of a bare finger for shifting gears? I have used batting gloves for cycling when it's colder, they worked but it was a short ride & my handle bars are padded. My batting gloves do not have padding like my cycling gloves so for long distances it wouldn't work for me...my understanding of the main purpose of cycling gloves is extra padding on your palms for those long distance rides not warmth. Hope this helps, again this are just my thoughts. Happy cycling!

My gloves are fine. I have been using them for over a month now and I have had no problems. I really like them.

Seem standard to me. These gloves are tougher than most and have lasted for long periods of use painting, cleaning, and working on engines and motors. Keep two boxes around at all times.

While I don't think these gloves were made with weight-lifting specifically in mind, I can tell you that I've worn mine 40 hours every work week, for very arduous, hands-on, heavy lifting work, for about a month and a half now. They're holding up brilliantly. The palms and fingertips are a durable-weight leather, the stitching is very sturdy, and the wrists are elastic, with adjustable Velcro closure, so I bet they would stand up to weight-lifting fairly well. The only drawback with weight-lifting might be that the palms are extremely durable, but not terribly breathable. (Unlike the backs which are a lighter-weave fabric, and nicely breathable.) Hope this answers your question!

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

Absolutely not! This is one reason I have to have this kind of glove when doing yard work. They are perfect.

Pretty durable. Harbinger has a great rep for making gloves that last 6-12 months. My version of the gloves (male version) have lasted as much as 18-24 with only minor stitching issues after that long. I'd recommend them for any serious lifter.

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.

I would not recommend these gloves....I bought them and was not happy with them...They fit ok at first but very quickly stretched out....For a couple dollars more I wouldrecommend these gloves.....I bought them from Amazon and they are beautiful...I love em....Copy and paste this into Amazon's search, "Thermoskin Premium Arthritic Gloves", they have a sizing chart right on the ad.....Wear these during the day when you have pain and also wear them at night....When you go to sleep put them on and wear them all night.

Yes. There is another good glove made by Victorinox which is somewhat smaller.

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
