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.

I am not familiar with any other version of these gloves. Those are the ones that I purchased.

Hi there, I think probably better than cloth wraps, because there is a little bit more padding on top with some time of gel. But I take a kickboxing class and hit the bags and I wish I would have gotten a better glove with more support. There is a slightly bigger version ( I think Amazon also sells it). I will keep them though because they are good. I think if you wear regular cloth wraps, you would probably like these because they are not bulky and just offer better protection than just wraps. hope it helps

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.

Greetings; I returned a pair of Med. size because they were way too small for my husband. I got a large which were still too small for him so I use them and to answer your question, they have "given" a little, but are still on the "small/snug" side for me. I don't think there really is enough flexibility in these to allow for a proper fit in time. The manufacturer of these and so many other work gloves I "test" need to do a better job of sizing for the US customer base. Hope this helps, all best.

I have both the Isotoner and Imak compression gloves. They are both very good but I do think the Isotoner ones have a bit stronger compression. Also, the Isotoners fit my hands better. I have short fingers and the Imak come too close the the finger tip for me. So the Isotoners are a better fit for my hand and seem to have a bit stronger compression.

ladybugroove, my experience is similar to Gerry Mullen's. They have provided me with excellent wrist protection from abrasion. Conjecture on my part, but I would expect that the protection from thumb hyper-extension is limited to the tensile strength of the leather. They leave a substantial minority of my fingers exposed to impact and abrasion as well. That said, I would buy these again. They have done a superb job of protecting my wrists.

I wear both and I don't have an issues. The first few times you wear the gloves to break them in, you might feel like your wrist is crowded but after a few uses you don't notice. I love these gloves. They stay perfectly in place while working out. I wear them doing TurboFire and during Les Mills Combat.

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

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've never purchased the Atlas Grip so I can't compare the two, but the Atlas NT370 is the best pair of gardening gloves I've ever owned.

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.

Which new ones are you referring to? I have the gripper ones and they're pretty good, they do provide extra grip but if you don't get them loose enough, they start to dig into the webbing between your thumb and palm. But then if you don't get them tight enough, they could fall off. They're pretty good but I can only speak for the gripper ones

You can definitely drive a car wearing these gloves. I did it even just today (it's like 30 below freezing today, so the extra warmth was much appreciated) and many other days. My mom (I'm barely 20) was a little iffy about me wearing gloves while driving (most gloves don't have great traction), but I actually prefer to drive with these gloves. I imagine medium will fit your hand just fine, it has an extra adjustable velcro strap on the back of the hand for custom fit and fingerless gloves fit many more hand sizes then regular gloves because you don't have to worry about how long the fingers are, just the size of the palm.

I haven't had the opportunity to give the new ones a try yet so I can't say which is a better choice btwn the two. I will say that the gripper glove is definitely a great glove to incorporate into workouts when your hands get truly sore, no matter what level of experience or strength you may have.

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.

Yes. I was confused with the way the descriptions are written. I love my gloves. They make my hands feel so much better. I wear them at night and they provide relief from swelling and pain.
