Basic Mechanix gloves. The sizing matches the chart. Personally, I prefer the version with an elastic cuff rather than Velcro - it is quicker to put on. Large loops at the cuffs make it easy to keep the gloves on a carabiner attached to a belt.
Mechanix Wear FastFit Core 3 Tactical Gloves - Coyote
Universal durable gloves engineered to deliver essential mechanical protection. Designed for a secure, close fit, they offer optimal grip control without restricting precision in movement. Perfect for military personnel, law enforcement, shooting sport enthusiasts, as well as those involved in survival activities, vehicle maintenance, DIY tasks, and airsoft.
Breathable CoolPlus fabric, Rip-Stop weave, touchscreen compatibility, Lock Ring technology
The upper section of the gloves is crafted from breathable, lightweight CoolPlus material, minimizing hand sweat and promoting excellent airflow. The rear side of the fingers features Rip-Stop fabric, engineered to resist tearing and fraying even after localized wear, and delivering enhanced abrasion resistance. For superior grip and control, the palm area utilizes durable 0.6 mm synthetic leather, which also enables touchscreen device operation without the need to remove the gloves. The critical zone around the thumb is reinforced by a Lock Ring panel, boosting structural durability and providing extra protection to the seams.
stretch-elastic cuff, 2-piece palm construction
A broad stretch-elastic cuff delivers enhanced protection and ensures the gloves remain firmly in place on the wrist. The opening is generously sized, allowing for effortless donning. A 2-piece construction on the inner palm minimizes curling and bunching, resulting in an improved glove fit. The lower palm integrates ventilated padding, boosting airflow and providing extra protection against injury.
norm: ANSI/ISEA 105-3XX and EN388-2121X
The gloves comply with the American safety standard ANSI/ISEA 105 at level 3XX for protection against cuts, abrasion, and punctures, defined as follows:
- 3: abrasion resistance (rated from 1 to 6)
- X: cut resistance (rated from A1 to A9)
- X: puncture resistance (rated from 0 to 5)
According to the EN388 standard, the gloves achieve protection level 2121X for resistance to mechanical hazards, meaning:
- 2: abrasion resistance (rated from 0 to 4)
- 1: cut resistance (rated from 0 to 5)
- 2: tear resistance (rated from 0 to 4)
- 1: puncture resistance (rated from 0 to 4)
- X: cut resistance – TDM method (ISO 13997) (rated from A to F)
Under the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is evaluated on a scale ranging from 1 to 6 and reflects the number of cycles the material can endure before wear occurs. Cut resistance is measured on a scale from A1 to A9, indicating levels from minimal to maximum protection. Puncture resistance ranges from 0 to 5 and represents the force necessary to pierce the glove’s surface with a sharp probe (not applicable to needle puncture).
Protection levels in the EN388 standard use a scale in which 0 means no protection, while values of 4 or 5 denote the highest available durability.
The TDM test (ISO 13997) employs letter grades, with A standing for the lowest and F the highest protection level.
X indicates the specific property was either not examined or does not pertain.

Review summary
Mechanix FastFit gloves receive very positive feedback for comfort, low weight, and quick on-off use thanks to the elastic cuff. Users praise the close fit, secure grip, good dexterity, and touchscreen compatibility, which makes them suitable for shooting, outdoor activities, bushcraft, cycling, dog walks, and light work around the house or workshop. Many buyers also highlight the strong value for money, especially at sale prices. However, these gloves work best for lighter tasks: during heavy-duty use they may wear through faster or develop seam issues. Water resistance and heat resistance are also weak points, as the material absorbs moisture quickly and does not protect well against fire or sparks. Some reviews also note that sizing needs attention because the cut is fairly snug and individual pairs may vary slightly.

Size: S
The gloves are light, flexible, and do not feel like heavy protective gear, so they work well during outdoor activities. The flexible cuff keeps the glove securely on the wrist, and the synthetic leather on the palm provides a firm grip; using a touchscreen phone is also hassle-free. I recommend fitting the size at a physical store.

In the segment of tactical gloves and similar products, FastFif by Mechanix is a classic of the genre. No unnecessary protectors—just gloves. Synthetic leather inside, and breathable material on top—ideal for summer. Well-fitted, but compared to wider models like M-Pact or Original, if you have a bigger hand, I recommend considering a larger size.

Size: S
Versatile and durable gloves designed for basic mechanical protection. Thanks to their proper fit, they provide a secure grip and full control, which I particularly liked.
-
This is my first purchase of gloves from this company. I was looking for something lightweight, breathable, and flexible for summer and warmer days. A firearm and other tools fit very well in them. The material is high quality, and the cartoon-style pattern looks fantastic, which is why I later bought two or three more pairs of the same brand.
-
They fit very well, are comfortable, and are of good quality. You can use a smartphone without taking them off your hands. So far they are working well; we’ll see in a few months.
-
Size: L
The gloves are comfortable and easy to put on and take off, but unfortunately the material on the fingers wears out quite quickly. Overall, the quality is adequate for the price.
-
The gloves are good for trips and ASG skirmishes. I would also say they have good hand ventilation. They are made of good materials for this price; I highly recommend them!

Size: L
Great gloves! The leather provides excellent grip and durability, and the FastFit design allows for quick and easy putting on. They are very comfortable, fit perfectly, and do not limit feel. A perfect choice!
-
Excellent for this price; we'll see how they stand the test of time and whether I lose them right away like most gloves. A big plus is also the comfort, because they fit the hand great.
-
Light gloves, just right for summer, ideal for shooting. For heavier work, e.g. with rough wood, they are only moderately suitable, as the material wears through quickly. They fit well; if you are unsure about the size, I recommend choosing the larger one, at least in the case of the Fastfit model.
-
Size: M
Good gloves; with the right size chosen, you can forget you’re even wearing them. Compared to the M-Pact line, they are much more comfortable to use for ordinary tasks.
-
Size: XXL
Basic gloves at a good sale price. Compared to the older version of this model that I use, these are more comfortable, but I liked the older version more visually.
-
Size: XL
In my opinion, this glove model performs very well during outdoor activities. I use them both on shorter trips and on multi-day mountain expeditions, especially in demanding terrain where a fall could result in a hand injury. They also provide good protection when working with rope, firewood, or stones. They offer moderate protection from the cold, and at the same time in summer they do not cause excessive hand sweating. The Mechanix brand has a reputation for solid quality, and these gloves confirm that. The material on the inner side of the hand and fingers provides a good grip and allows the use of touchscreens. They are light, flexible, and compact enough to fit easily into almost any pocket. The elastic cuff holds them well on the wrist, although personally I would prefer a hook-and-loop closure, which would provide better adjustment. An additional loop allows them to be attached to a carabiner or hung on a hook. At the promotional price of €9.30, I believe this is an exceptionally good-value purchase. As for sizing, I normally wear size 9 in work and utility gloves; here I chose size XL and it fits well, although it is slightly snug.

Great gloves! Very comfortable and well-fitted, although you need to choose the right size, preferably from several pairs, because they may differ slightly. They work with touchscreens without any problem.
