Mechanix Wear Men's FastFit Gloves Covert, (X-Large, Black) FFTAB-55-011

I brought these gloves to use whilst hiking, camping, expecting them to provide a bit of a barrier between my hand and “axe to chop wood”, “knife to feather wood for fire”, “make a fire”, “using Kelly kettle for tea”, and general campsite/hiking activities.I can honestly say, they are so good, my brother purchased a pair (in the middle of the woods) after trying them when we’d stopped to make lunch & tea whilst we where out hiking.We set up a little base camp so we could use Kelly kettle to make some tea, then use the hobo stove setup parts to make a bacon sandwich, I’d been singing there praises all morning & then said he should try them, within 5 minutes he asked for the link to purchase some.Between us we described them as “lightweight & comfortable enough, to not get in your way, or feel in any, ANY! way uncomfortable or irritating(as gloves often do), with a quality of materials & manufacturing that gives you, a feeling of confidence your hands are protected and capable of carrying out any job, big or small”, be that a “club handed or intricate job”, with the sense that your gloves will act as a barrier that simply feels like a second skin.Incase it’s not obvious, both my brother (a GP) & I(precision aerospace engineer, biker), highly rate these gloves, as I say, he purchased a pair in the middle of the woods after trying mine whilst doing some tasks, and I have myself ordered a second pair.Summary;*They look great, good colour*Incredibly comfortable*lightweight*Inexpensive*Great quality*Touchscreen works faultlessly*Perfect fitI used the size guide to make my purchase and it was spot on.The only thing I can’t speak to, is durability, because I haven’t had them long enough, however in that time I’ve used them for hiking, camping knife work for the making, lighting & using of a camping fire for cooking, recurve bow archery(practice), crossbow archery(practice) and tomahawk throwing, they performed perfectly during all activities, show no signs of any wear or marking, I did put them through the washing machine at 40*, due to dirt & smelling of campfire smoke, and they came out perfect.If it’s not obvious by now, “I can’t recommend these highly enough”. If you need a pair of gloves for outdoors pursuit activities, or even just as a pair of gloves for everyday wear, you’d be happy you purchased these.I don’t believe in giving good reviews when it’s not warranted, but in this case, 100% will buy more myself(as will my brother).P.s. it’s some weeks, “only weeks!”, and I have brought another pair in black, to throw into my daily use ruc-sac…

Bought for shooting in the cold. Fortunately(?) it's not been cold enough to wear them a lot since buying but on the handful of days I have, they have been very comfortable and warm. I've not used them for touch screen, and that wasnt part of my reason to purchase. I was between small and medium size, I went for small and they fit nicely. I've washed them once and they came out like new. The palm material is nice and soft and they're thin enough to stick in a jeans pocket when not in use. I'd buy them again if I needed to!

I used them for moving house, which worked out great, tough enough and great grip for moving furniture, boxes etc. And thin enough to keep them on while driving and going DIY tasks like drilling.However once your finished with general stuff and start to use them as day to day gloves, lots of DIY, getting paint splashed on them, getting them wet, using them for woodworking in the shed and metal working in the machine shop, they deteriorate quite quickly, the fingers get holes in.I like them and I’ll order a third pair, but they won’t withstand abuse. Note, they also look great, the quality of material and the fit/shape is quite good.

Fit is OK. I have small hands for a bloke and Medium fits perfect.Can use these for any work or just as a winter glove.

Really good quality of glove I use for photography and touchscreen operation wearing these is good.i got xl size they fit well not tight or lose. You could not wear these in really cold conditions traditional gloves would be better these time will tell on how they last.

Worn for a month and a half. Initially fantastic. Lightweight and very comfortable. unfortunately that seems to come at a cost. Used for mostly yard work so nothing overly hard. The left hand glove is just about ok but the right hand has start to disintegrate quite badly. Expected longer wear at the price point. Can’t afford £12-14 every 2 months just for work gloves.

Nice fitting glove. Ideal for work or casual wearing. I use mine for both. I thought I had average size hands so ordered size medium (size 8) bit too tight fit. Size 9 Large would be better fit for average size hands.

Bought like a lot of my kit for a slightly off the wall use.Summer boat instruction! Normally my boating gloves are fingerless with a heavy leather palm and put to hard use pulling ropes and the like. This summer will be the second summer of instruction in a Covid environment. Last year steering wheels were swabbed and all multi touch surfaces wiped with appropriate gel etc. The sailing gloves were battered and very nearly dissolved. Their make up made them impossible to machine wash.These are comfortable, lightweight, full fingered machine washable gloves that can be worn in hot conditions (hence the sensible marking down for their warmth, not every glove needs to keep you warm). They can be washed daily and give me some breathable protection when I’m touching many surfaces.They’re not medical protection in any way, but for me they give an ability to operate and give a mild degree of the skin coverage that I require. They have a multitude of uses, but for me they’re spot on and did I mention amazingly comfortable. As for sizing I’ve always been a UK glove size 9 and these are sold as “L” and are a perfect fit.
