How is the durability and grip of these gloves?

I brought these for a friend. He says they are the best he has ever had. They are worn everyday through the New Zealand winter. He was after real waterproof gloves. He is a farmer. Sorry this is all I can give you. He would buy these gloves again.

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.

I can only speak to the grip, he hasn't used them enough to assess durability (altho I will say they are very well made). The grip is excellent, not bulky and not sticky, but you can get the job done, allow easy use of binoculars and cycling. Hope this helps.

I have owned these for a while and use them incessantly during winter months...the grip is very good, I would give it an 8 out of 10. The durability really depends on what you are doing with them...I would give them a 6 out of 10.

I haven't had any problem with these gloves and I use them on a regular basis.

I believe they are. The purple ones I recently purchased replaced a pink pair. Nothing was wrong with the gloves just lost one. The hand is textured with a smooth wrist cuff. The gloves are lined. I did find the medium hand to be large fitting therefore next time (in 20 years) I will order a small.

Hello Lovin: I have had these gloves since July, 2013, use them weekly, and have had no problem with leaking or any other problem.

They are better than Ove Gloves. They resist higher temps and the grips are better.

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.;-)

I would say so. They're really waterproof. The only inconvenient is that if they're getting wet inside they'll stay wet for a long time. I think you can wear a pair of thinner gloves underneath if you often have to take the hand out of the glove.

I have noticed some minor cracks at the joints after several months of heavy use but they have not affected the functionality of the gloves and overall they are still in very good condition.

I would recommend looking for a Gore-Tex glove for the situation you are asking about. They will be truly water proof and more durable.

Yes, I think they would work well for you. They are thin, and the dexterity would be ideal for handling pages in books. They are good all around gloves. Very practical for smaller hands. My hands are L-XL, and the even work for me.

Hi thereYes great grip. You can't go wrong with Harbingers gloves. I've been using them for years, same pair still in good condition and I recently bought 2 pairs from Amazon for my partner and he absolutely loves them as he lifts heavy weights.Cheers, Nancy

I bought them in size s/m, my fingers are average and fit well, perhaps a different size would work better for you. In regards to your comfort question, yes, they are quite comfortable! , considering off course that they are made of special fibers, not the lightest or the softest but they work much bettee than other gloves with touch-screen features

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.

I'll guess medium. I have medium hands, and the gloves are a slightly tight fit. I've been using them for months now, and love them. They work great.

I haven't had any issues with durability yet. They feel as sturdy as any other pair I've had.

They seem pretty durable, but that's some pretty intense wear. I'm sure they would wear out faster than normal if you were doing that very often. I would worry more about them sliding around when climbing up. They fit well, but with that kind of pull, they might twist on your hand.

Great dexterity and grip. Very warm as well. You just have to be careful as the gloves cut easily.
