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.

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 have read Texcasters response and it tells you all you really need to know, except for the velcro closure patch which is large and holds very well.These gloves are very tight fitting and stiff,great for protection, but take time to limber up for movement. Use baby powder on them for your first 5 or 6 times to reduce the struggle of getting them on/off...a good protective glove.

I've never used one but I bought mine for rowing my dinghy. They are really nice gloves, I'm really happy with them.

It's great for automotive work too - good for anything where your hands and under your nails will get oil and grease. I scratch it under my nails and rub into the edges of each fingernail. I don't use gloves with it unless I am working with coolant or really harsh chemicals that can damage or be absorbed into your skin.

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

i am adult male, 200 lbs, average+ , thin hands (not meaty). they fit me fine, small hands could use them . keep in mine that connected to the glove is hand wraps---- is you look carefully you can see they wrap around hand and up to wrist. i love the fast you have glove and wrap all in one. I love them and the price is great!!!!!!!!

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 use mine for kettle bell workout and have not seen any wear or tear! I also use them for rough metal barbells with no damage done to them. These gloves are great! I have now ordered two pairs for friends!

It was a lot better than just using bare hands. But as far as shock absorption, I would recommend Under Armour batting gloves. They're the best I've ever used.

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.

I have never used them for this application. But I hear of people doing that with these type of glove. I have heard stories of success with this. It would be a cheap solution at least. Give it a shot what do you have to lose?

Size for size it can be anyone's glove. Carefully choose the size that fits you best as they have a nice assortment beyond the std sm med lge xL. It is a bit more stout that most and worth any difference in price. I also use them as all weather gloves on both hands. These last longer than any others I have used .

I use the 1/2 finger gloves... they provide excellent compression on the wrist, hand, up to the first joint of my fingers... Maybe order a size smaller than you think you need? If you only need one glove, turn the other one inside out and you will have two of the same hand.Good luck! They also make them in "full finger" versions.Morgan.

Gosh I've had them for awhile now and not sure. What I can tell you is that I've taken stoneware out of a 425 degree oven and it might get a little hot but the versatility of 5 fingered gloves is worth it. I've never gotten burned using them although mits will provide extra heat protection.

I can't vouch for their efficacy for that line of work. They are a tight fitting, flexible glove. I actually bought mine to use as light/medium weight motorcycle gloves.

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.
