Mechanix Wear: Durahide Leather FastFit Work Glove with Elastic Cuff for Secure Fit

Excellent fit. Pretty durable and long lasting. Nice leather, look good and I can pick up a nail with them on.

This is my 4th pair of Mechanix Wear Fast Fit Leather gloves and I keep coming back to them for a reason. I use them primarily for yard work and moving materials around, and I put them through real abuse such as oil stains, wet grass, damp equipment, and regular contact with metal and wood. A pair lasts me about two years under those conditions, which I think is pretty reasonable given how hard I am on them. Normally that would give me pause and lower my rating, but combined with the reasonable price, I'm fine replacing them every so often. Here's the reason I keep coming back. I once had my finger pulled into a belt system on a piece of yard equipment while wearing these gloves. I broke the bone in that finger, but the leather construction absorbed enough of the impact that I kept the finger and miraculously did not have any actual abrasions/cuts to the skin. The damage was all internal (the bone break). Without them I would have almost certainly lost my finger entirely. That's not something I take lightly, and it's the main reason I won't wear anything else. Beyond that, they fit well, hold up to the day-to-day punishment of outdoor and manual work, and the fast fit design makes them easy to get on and off. If you're doing any kind of serious yard work or handling rough materials regularly, I'd strongly recommend these gloves.

I did 28 years in the Army and went through a lot of different work and combat-oriented gloves. These are the best I've owned. I use them for moving dirt and rocks when I'm planting trees; lifting, moving, and throwing logs and rough-cut timber; handling large items with sharp edges; refueling farm equipment (and getting fuel spilled on them); then throw them in the washer--and sometimes the dryer--and put them back in service immediately.

I've been buying the Impact version of this glove for years now at almost triple the price and I destroy them when I could be using these for those jobs. I love the impacts but for the price I might as well be wearing actual gloves that last 4 years and not 6 months. I now tote 3 gloves: Wells Lamont for heavy work, Mechanix Wear Leather Impact, and these. These are burnable at the price yet durable at any price I can find. Daily wear and tear on one set of gloves while being versatile is impossible. I could TIG in these but not MIG. I can put these on to sweat piping, but not the Wells Lamont and feel comfortable making dime-beads. These are great daily gloves with great wearing leather that are just not expensive. I will wear them out but it's not going to be triple the cost to replace them. I'll get a thumb hole or I'll screw up and rip or burn through the back side but it's not a big issue. These are consumables and expected for this level of dexterity. Cons: Something about the leather I don't understand. I can climb rungs with bare hands or the Well's Lamont and not feel sketchy. These are slippery*. Not horrible but it's not natural grip I would expect. Heck, it could be all the crap embedded in them but doesn't happen to other "cow skin" gloves. Leather is made of cattle right? Is this mouse leather? I'd just rather climb rungs to do work without these gloves...or the Wells, which are fine. 4 stars over all for a consumable item. Two a year if you wear gloves a lot. *I tried the fake leather and it is far worse. Do not purchase the fake leather gloves at all. Slippery, can't hold anything, rips easily, and you'll be buying them monthly in a work environment. Leather is not a limited resource and there's no need for fake stuff to save the planet. IMO, it's a cheaper attempt at making gloves and nothing more.

I am convinced that these gloves saved me from taking a 1/4" groove out of my index and thumb on my left hand while using a masonry disk on a grinder today. They took a graze from the disk at full tilt when it kicked and ran at my left hand, barely a scuff on the gloves and some sore but intact fingertips. I don't know if any other gloves would have kept me from having my whole day ruined, but these definitely did and I am glad to have had them protecting my fingers at work. They do suffer from the typical durability issues for gloves of this type of construction; where the seams of the leather fingers meeting the fabric backing give out before the leather. I really wish Mechanix would make the fingers entirely out of Durahide, or even the 4x material, instead of a fabric backing so the gloves would last more than a few weeks of work. Even just bringing it 80% of the way around would drastically improve the durability. Even with the expected durability issues while working with masonry, I will continue to buy Durahide or 4x Mechanix gloves because of how much abuse they can handle. They blow other options out of the water, so I always have a fresh pair waiting so I don't have to go a day of hard work without them.

Good lightweight snug fitting work gloves

These are great high dexterity gloves and are perfect for light work tasks. I use them at the range and always keep a pair handy.

Nice gloves perfect for working. I highly recommend.

After wearing through my older ones, it was time for a new pair. I found it hard to decide online without being able to try things on. I bought a pair of these gloves as well as a pair of: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0001VNZQY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I do pretty much everything in my gloves: cut trees, chop wood, shovel, move stuff, construction, carpentry. Some gloves I've worn out in a couple of weeks, others have lasted me at least a year. So I look for gloves that are comfortable and durable and not so bulky I can't do things like grab a screw or work a pencil. The other ones arrived first, I'm not overly keen on them as the velcro strap gets annoying when I want to quickly take the gloves off and put them back on and the palm material feels like I'll wear through them within a month if I used them in my typical manner. Once these one's showed up I fell in love with them. I have zero complaints, they look great, they feel great, they're easy to work in, the tension band feels durable as well, making it easy to take the gloves on an off quickly. These are now my go-to work gloves, I plan to buy a bunch of them. "Touch Screen" stars. I've not tried to use my phone yet, so don't have a comment on that part.

La verdad Mechanix nunca me han fallado y este modelo de piel se ve aún mejor que los anteriores que he probado. Aclarando no los utilizo para trabajo solo los uso en la bicicleta y para practicas de Tiro.
