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.

These are made from a heavier material than the ones for sale in super markets which puncture so readily. I'm still using the pair given to me a year ago, but I do alternate them with two other pairs of different Gloveble designs because I liked them so much.

I really don't think so. After getting these I am not all too impressed with them. They fit tighter than expected and knife points go right through them. They are kinda slippery like wool or mitten style gloves. I went with hexarmor gloves instead. They really protect from cuts and lacerations on a level that is highly above the competition. look up their site you will love the gloves. They take a little bit to break in but after having them for 6 months they hold up well to the abuse I put them through. Hope this helps

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!

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.

Yes excellent gloves. Have ordered 3 pairs. They have each lasted over 6 to 8 months - I use them 6 days a week in gym. Basically only get new ones due to them getting smelly

I would compare them to leather work gloves. I can grip a ski rope or the rope handle but I have trouble picking up a dime. Hope this helps you.

Pretty durable. Harbinger has a great rep for making gloves that last 6-12 months. My version of the gloves (male version) have lasted as much as 18-24 with only minor stitching issues after that long. I'd recommend them for any serious lifter.

Joe,I generally wear a small or medium glove depending on the style and manufacturer. Wrapping a tape around my knuckles reads about 8-1/4". I found the gloves comfortable except for the trigger finger which was a little tight. I bought them thinking they'd give me a little more dexterity so I wouldn't have to take them off to pick up small objects. They're a little cumbersome as the ends of the mitten part are squared off rather than rounded. Hope that answers your question. If not, get back to me. I'm not sure I'd buy them again, but I wouldn't return them as they're kind of cool.

I'm still using my first pair since Feb. 2014. Some of the rubber is coming off but still usuable. I only use this for my retail work which consist mainly of stocking shelves and breaking down cardboard boxes. I love these gloves. Size small fits like glove (pun intended) on me. Hope this helps.

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.

yes, they have a good amount of grip for the price you are getting them. i would recommend these gloves if you're looking for a cheaper price and they will last if you take care of them.

With my hand size, I can wear an XL in mechanics gloves and they fit perfect. Because of my motorcycle, I ordered XXL thinking I'd need some room to wear warm gloves underneath the gauntlets, but I think sizing already took that thought into consideration. They are a bit too big, if I had got XL I probably would've been better off. I'd say, go with the same size as a pair of work gloves you can wear comfortably. They fit like supple welding gloves-high flexibility. They are also awesome for Darth Vader cosplay, haha

I don't know because I haven't tried the IMAK. IOf you can find more Info I would like to know. I do feel the Dritz gloves make my arthritic hands feel much better when I am wearing them.

Synthetic leather. My favorite winter glove. Even in -0 weather. I do add hand warmers on the bitterest days. You actually have tactile use of your hands.

I too have great respect for Victorinox but no nothing about the quality of Tweezerman. The difference in price isn't worth the question as far as I'm concerned.

The gloves are very grippy on the steer wheel. I've been using them for driving the last two weeks and they are great for that. They may be a little bulky for reaching into your pants pocket unless you have very roomy pockets. I'm able to reach into my coat pocket for my keys without any problems. I don't think you can go wrong with these gloves.
