After losing the first pair, I ordered again. They have practically no flaws, maybe just the cut resistance, which according to the description is low. However, I haven't tested them in this regard. Good for everything, durable, they don't get damaged.
Mechanix Original Tactical Gloves - Olive Drab
Universal heavy-duty gloves designed to offer essential mechanical protection. With an optimal fit, they ensure complete grip control while allowing for precise movements. Ideal for law enforcement officers, military users, shooting sports enthusiasts, as well as for survival adventures, automotive work, DIY projects, or ASG activities.
Breathable TrekDry form-fitting material, touchscreen support
The glove’s upper section features a breathable, lightweight Form-fitting TrekDry fabric that minimizes hand sweat. Durable synthetic leather is used for the gripping area, delivering reliable grip and heightened tactile control, while enabling the operation of touchscreen devices without the need to remove the gloves. Both the thumb and index finger are reinforced with an additional layer of material.
Strong, adjustable clasp made of TPR
Secured at the cuff with a TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber meeting EN 13594 standards) strap, fastened by Velcro.
Protection standard EN388-2121X
The gloves conform to the EN388-2121X safety standard for mechanical hazard resistance, ensuring the following specifications:
- 2: abrasion resistance level (rated 0–4)
- 1: cut resistance level (rated 0–5)
- 2: tear resistance level (rated 0–4)
- 1: puncture resistance level (rated 0–4)
- X: TDM cut resistance (ISO 13997) (rated A–F)
According to the EN388 standard, the rating scales determine the degree of glove protection: a value of 0 signifies no protective properties, whereas the highest ratings (4 or 5) reflect the greatest resistance.
In assessments based on the TDM technique (ISO 13997), letter grades are used, where A marks the minimum level of protection and F represents the maximum.
X designation means that the parameter either was not evaluated or does not apply.

Gloves selected according to the provided sizing chart. They are a bit too tight, and at the same time the fingers are too long. But maybe they'll adapt somehow. The type of Velcro used will probably wear out rather quickly.
-
I think I already have 3 pairs of these gloves and they have never let me down. They are well made, fit nicely to the hand, and are comfortable to wear. They are breathable and dry very well after getting wet, and it's also very easy to keep working in them when they're wet.
-
Great gloves. They work well in the field. The size fits perfectly. With extreme and heavy use, they won't last long, but they are still worth recommending.
-
Very good gloves, you can immediately see their quality at first glance. They cost a bit, but it's not wasted money. They fit well on the hands, don't squeeze, and your hand doesn't sweat excessively. They are lightweight and have convenient loops for attaching to a backpack. I recommend them.
-
It's simply Mechanix. As usual, they have excellent quality, great stitching, they're very comfortable and fit perfectly if you choose the right size. Even during my service, they were my favorite choice.
-
Great gloves have already saved my fingers from mechanical damage, so they have fulfilled their role. I will have to buy a second pair, but it's definitely worth it.
-
The gloves are extremely comfortable and work well for many tasks – you can carry heavy stones, bricks, unload packages, as well as do gardening, fix cars, or use various tools. At first, size L seemed a bit stiff and tight, but after a few days, the leather adapted to my hands. They provide great protection, sensitivity is standard, only with very small nuts it's hard to tighten them without the risk of them slipping out of your hand. The biggest drawback is the factory glue – after just five days of work, the black patch between the thumb and index finger started to come off because there are no stitches on the edges there. I bought the gloves new and haven't had a chance to wash them yet. I had to glue everything myself so the patch wouldn't come off completely (the photo shows it already after my repair). When buying, I recommend looking at the product photos and choosing a model in which the black patch on the bend is securely stitched instead of just glued. This way, you can avoid these problems. At this price, such a gluing flaw is very unpleasant, and the quality control leaves much to be desired.

Great gloves, they fit my size perfectly and the velcro fasteners hold excellently. After 3 months of intensive use, they are in excellent condition.
-
Legendary and durable gloves in Coyote color. Synthetic leather provides excellent trigger feel, and TrekDry material protects the hand from overheating. Protection and comfort at the highest level!
-
They wear out quite quickly. The material used is thin, but I like the possibility of using them for more delicate motor tasks, even on touch screens. After trying several different models, Original seems to be the most versatile.
-
These gloves are an absolute classic and totally awesome for rough use in the field. They are super comfortable, fit perfectly on the hand, and the durable material provides great feel.
-
The gloves look very good, are solidly made, have pleasant-to-touch leather and an attractive cut, and are comfortable to wear – although the fingers seem a bit too long, but after all, these are work gloves. Everything looks great on the outside, and only their use will show their durability.
-
Solid workmanship and high-quality materials make the gloves fit well in the hand, look very good in person, and provide a secure grip and good feel for the weapon.
-
During shooting training, you can adjust the optics and operate the timer on the phone at the same time. They fit the hand well and wick away moisture. I recommend them!
