Covert Original Tactical Work Gloves

I bought these for my cousin, who is in the military, and he was very pleased with them. They fit comfortably, provide a good grip and allow enough flexibility to handle equipment without feeling bulky. The material and stitching appear durable, and the gloves look exactly as pictured. A practical, good-quality purchase.

These gloves fit great and provide excellent grip, protection, and dexterity. They're comfortable enough for extended wear while still being tough enough for work, outdoor activities, range use, and general tasks. The materials feel durable, the stitching is solid, and they allow for precise hand movements without feeling bulky. Excellent quality and performance at a great price.

There is a strong debate in my field around whether these are superior to the Oakley gloves. I'm an SF (Army, not Air Force) operator, and you can find my comparison between these and the Oakley gloves (bought from the SI website at www.standardissue.com) below. In the end, it all comes down to shooter's preference. My preferences and my I prefer them are found below. A little about me: I'm an SF (Army, not Air Force) medic with eight years' team time and almost four years of deployed time, 31 months of which have been in Afghanistan, the rest of which have been in South America. Tactile Feedback: This is a huge consideration for me. I like being able to feel, as accurately as possible, what is going on under my gloves (think handling an M-9 with gloves vs bare hands). This is a draw. The Mechanix gloves have a similar but less pronounced palm feel and response to the Oakleys. You can just feel minor details better with the Oakleys. You can wrap a piece of coarse (100-200 grit) sandpaper around a cylindrical object and rub the gloves against it to increase the tactile feedback to improve the tactile feedback of the Mechanix gloves (recommended) to that of the Oakleys. This will significantly reduce the life of both sets of gloves, however if you do it to the Mechanix gloves to the point that there is a similar feel between these and (new) Oakleys you will only reduce these to the effective lifetime of a fresh pair of Oakleys. The Oakleys come with additional padding under the fingertips on the index and middle finger along with some (I think) useless dots that are meant to increase grip. I find this Oakley feature to be superfluous and I cut this part of the glove off. *Caveat - I DO take my gloves off any time I perform medic duties. Neither glove, sanded down or not, allows me to accurately assess a casualty as well as I can with bare hands or with latex gloves. Protection: The Oakleys win here. The Oakleys have knuckle protection; these do not. There exists a version of Mechanix gloves with knuckle protection, however, those come with a double layer on the palm that reduces tactile feedback. As far as protection goes, the Mechanix with the additional padding on the knuckles have more protection, but you sacrifice tactile feedback to get the protection. The beefed up Mechanix gloves have extra layers in the palmar area which significantly reduces tactile feedback. The problem is that the knuckle protection on the beefed-up Mechanix is soft whereas the knuckle protection on the Oakleys is hard, and when I say hard it's like brass knuckle hard. I have literally had to punch people in the face to protect myself and my teammates; the Oakleys with their "brass knuckle" effect easily win the battle against the Mechanix's knuckle protection. This brass knuckle feature isn't strictly necessary (in my experience) as I could have simply punched them in the face again, and again, if necessary. Durability: Mechanix win. These Mechanix gloves have a slightly thicker palm and underside of the finger area. The Oakleys have a better "out of the box feel", but only by a slight bit; the Mechanix gloves break in quickly to the same feel as the Oakley gloves (especially if you use a pipe lined with sandpaper) and they have almost twice the life (in my experience) as the Oakley gloves. Other Factors: This is where Mechanix win by a long shot. The Oakley gloves have a tendency to, when subjected to repeated wear in hot environments where your hands sweat profusely, stiffen up after wear which reduces the tactile feedback received through the glove. This stiffening isn't relieved the next time you wear them until several hours have gone by and gets worse the more sweat you pour into them. The Mechanix gloves do not suffer this malady, and they somehow retain their feel despite months of hard use. The Mechanix gloves also (to me) fit better and more consistently; the Mechanix gloves seem to have a more elastic back of the hand area and a palmar area that doesn't constrict after it has been sweated into which hugely improves the overall comfort and usefulness of the glove over time. It also seems like the quality of construction is better as I have had multiple pairs of Oakley gloves that had stitching that was off (especially in the thumb and the inside of the index finger) which caused me to render those gloves unserviceable. This inconsistency alone is enough for me to choose the Mechanix gloves without going into the price difference which is significant. TL;DR: I prefer the Mechanix gloves because they are cheaper, better made, more durable, comparable in regards to tactile feedback, and, unless I'm punching through brick walls, don't offer a whole lot of improved protection; that being said, I would strongly prefer a version with hard knuckle protection.

Bought these for shooting. Feels really good when gripping the gun. Secure. Heat resistance is ok, I wouldn't recommend grabbing your suppressor though. Fit is decent. I bought a large and the fingers were tight all the way to the ends, but the thumb had just a slight bit of extra looseness right on the tip. Really bugged me so I went with a medium pair (returning them was no problem). That fixed the thumb issue but now they are overall a bit tight. My hand is 7 3/4" from tip of middle finger to that crease in your wrist. Hoping they will stretch out some. Still love them. Not too short on the wrist either, which I was worried about. They seem very durable, but more time and use will tell.

Super fast shipping got them in less than 24 hours after placing my order. They fit perfectly and very comfortable. It wasn’t the first time I’ve ordered from them and it surely won’t be the last

Use these for work and after breaking them in, there is no glove more comfortable. They usually last 4-6 months for me before they tear on a finger seam and need replaced, making them a much better value than single use gloves. Velcro strap holds well around the wrist and allows for easy adjustment. I would highly recommend giving these a try.

I love these gloves I bought them many times over Very durable mechanics make Very good gloves these are good for multipurpose whether you're a mechanic a contractor or an operator or you just need some gloves for around the house I highly recommend these We'd definitely buy these again

Soy un admirador de esta marca y en concreto de este modelo pero estos en concreto salieron malos en una semana las costuras de los dedos se abrieron y los dedos quedado al descubierto haciéndome daño.

Wanneer je Europese maat 9 hebt, neem je best medium. Deze kan in het begin wat nauw zitten maar rekt nog een beetje. Goede kwaliteit en afwerking.

Seit einigen Jahren, etliche Paare "durchprobiert" und Diese hier sind es. Ob in Coyote oder dem freundlichen Schwarz, ich hab meine persönlichen Favoriten gefunden. Die Passform ist großartig und Sie sitzen wie eine zweite Haut, ohne dabei an kalten Tagen die Durchblutung der Finger zu beeinträchtigen. Ich trage Sie täglich mit den eingenähten Schlaufen am Karabiner bei mir. Für warme Finger und kurz mal was anpacken prima. Ein echte Allrounder eben. Wenn Sie für den daily-use zu schäbig werden gehen Sie in die Werkstatt zum Arbeiten und sind für gewöhnlich noch lange gut. Wenn sich die Fingerkuppen dann irgendwann durchgearbeitet haben. Bestelle ich ein Neues Paar und tausche durch. Für allgemeine Arbeiten perfekt. Natürlich scheuern Sie irgendwann durch. Insbesondere wenn Sie nass und man mit Steinen oder Gehwegplatten arbeiten verschleissen Sie recht zügig. Auch für Höhenrettung sind Sie leider ungeeignet. Thermische Belastungen mögen Sie garnicht. Aber das wissen ja eigentlich alle die im Seil arbeiten... Schweißen, Schneidbrennen oder funkenreissende Arbeiten brauchen eben auch Handschuhe mit entsprechender Schutzfunktion. Nicht jeder Handschuh bedient alles und auch dieser nicht. Für meine Zwecke aber der beste Kompromiss und das bei bester Verarbeitung und hervorragender Passform. Die Nähte halten prima und es ist noch nie eine Karabinerschlaufe gerissen. Klare Kaufempfehlung!

Sauber verarbeitet, wie von mechanix gewohnt. Aber! Bitte eine Größe größer bestellen. Mir passen die M-pact in Größe L. Die Original sind in L viel zu eng.

Da ich als Pferdewirt arbeite, habe ich mir diese Handschuhe besorgt. Vorher hatte ich bereits ähnliche von Mechanix und war damit auch super zufrieden. Der Stoff ist nicht zu dick, schützt aber und hält lange Zeit. Ich habe mir diese Handschuhe ausgesucht, da sie nicht über das Handgelenk hinausgehen und somit wie eine zweite Haut sitzen und nicht stören.
