I have a few pairs of tact gloves and am thinking of grabbing a pair of mechanix. Are they really that far superior o other gloves on the market?

Hi Kathleen, My apologies for the late reply as it was a busy weekend! Mechanix compared to other gloves is mainly a matter of choice. They are priced well and they are durable.;-)

We think so, but don't take our word for it. Check out a little behind the scenes footage .. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=24&v;=TaSxmyVIGCw

We used them exclusively on all of our crew members when we had a race team several years ago. We felt they were the best for what we wanted.Thanks

For the price, definitely. I tried several different pairs of tactical gloves and these are much better. Very light, but durable. Just make sure you use the sizing chart they have on their website if you don't try them on first.

Um, Not really. It's probably the best winter gloves for handling such things but it still isnt that great at it. If these things are big and you have a tool then yeah, but if you're working with smalls one and just your hands, no.

Their strongest selling point is not their warmth but their waterproofing. I work in the TV/Film business and it's true that on a below freezing day when I'm handling aluminum pipe they get cold pretty quickly, but when it's snowing/raining they can keep my hands dry for hours. So if cold is the only problem then these aren't the gloves for you but if you have to work in the wet, they are great and really do still give a decent grip even on wet slippery surfaces.

I've never used one but I bought mine for rowing my dinghy. They are really nice gloves, I'm really happy with them.

I have not, per se, but I have been using them for shooting and the are great! Good feel and I've had the glove caught in the action a couple times w/o a mark on the material. Don't know if this helps...

I'm not familiar with the new ones sorry! But if you do Crossfit, I don't recomend any of these gloves, instead look up for Rogue Gymnastic gloves, those have worked great for me doing pull ups, T2B and weightlifting! Hope this will help you!

They should prove to be OK with those items, so long as they are not too small in size. The fingertips have a better feel than most gloves with this quality of warmth do. The index fingers on the gloves have a small patch of leather-ish fabric that may or may not serve a purpose, depending on use. I have used them in EMS (ambulance patient care) and have had no problems with tearing surgical tape, attaching straps and patient securing gear, and operated other medical devices with them on. Obviously, they are going to pose a barrier problem of some sorts, but overall, I think they are better than most (of similar quality) in fingertip feel and comfort. Hope that helps!

I bought gloves at Home depot. They are a heavier gauge latex for use with solvents. Just ask the employees there, they are very helpful.

While I did indeed take the warranty claims into heavy consideration before taking a chance and buying these gloves, all I can tell you is that my experience with these gloves has been extensive and very positive. They have handled hundreds of hours of use, with very little wear. No splits, rips, or disappointments of any kind. I feel like I have already gotten my money's worth out of these gloves, and I can tell they still have a very long lifespan ahead. I don't know how to explain the supposed difference in quality for other buyers; I can only speak for my own purchase experience, which has been totally positive.

I would not recommend these gloves....I bought them and was not happy with them...They fit ok at first but very quickly stretched out....For a couple dollars more I wouldrecommend these gloves.....I bought them from Amazon and they are beautiful...I love em....Copy and paste this into Amazon's search, "Thermoskin Premium Arthritic Gloves", they have a sizing chart right on the ad.....Wear these during the day when you have pain and also wear them at night....When you go to sleep put them on and wear them all night.

Living in S Fla and using them as a substitute for riding gloves (good ones cost more) I can only say they've been comfortable when I take my VTX out for 2-3 hrs.. There is a thin inner liner so it's not skin to leather. Well see how it is this summer.

Personally, I love these gloves. I do go on the computer and do some typing, but I think it all depends on how much you type. I Think they are great.

More or less.Depends on how desperate you are. I do sometimes, and sometimes I switch out with a pair that have less support. These gloves sure help my hands.

I use mine for kettle bell workout and have not seen any wear or tear! I also use them for rough metal barbells with no damage done to them. These gloves are great! I have now ordered two pairs for friends!

Hey bro!Look, Thor gloves are for mountain bike training. If you want to but gloves for motorcycle you should go to specialized shops. I hope my answer will help you. Best regards. Allan

these types of gloves seem to be made for mechanics in mind to prevent burns and abrasions while maintaining dexterity, therefore they do work well for many other light physical labor tasks and chores. however I do not use them for masonry work of any sort, they just do not last a long timeI hope this helps....?

The grip is very good. I'm very happy with the grip and the dexterity. I've had these gloves over a year now, but I've only been through one winter. I've washed them a few times. When I do wear them, it's only for about an hour per day during my pre or post flight checks, about 15 days per month. So, my gloves get light usage. With that being said, they are in excellent condition, have held up well in storage, and I haven't had any problems. I like these gloves.
