how do the gloves fit and are the durable enough to last long?

The gloves fit just fine. I do have small hands though. I have had no holes or tearing.

They seem to fit small to medium women's hands. The stitching seems to be a little loose in some spots. I don't know how long they will last. I've washed mine a few times, and so far they are holding up. They seem to be almost the same quality, maybe just slightly better, as some dollar store gloves I purchased prior to these.

They'll fit. My hands are similar and I use these without much issue. I'll be honest, they are a little snug, and the thumb feels a little funny (I think because they're ambi-gloves) but they aren't uncomfortable, they get the job done, and they were cheap.Update: I'm a nerd, so when I got home I measured my hand with calipers. I was 3.93" Wide and 5.1" Long, so my "ruling" stands.

yes, I have a landscaping company and I go through a lot of gloves and have tried a lot of gloves, these hold up to hard work and wash well. so far so good.I love a good pair of gloves, I spend a lot on my nails and dirt does not get through.

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

I guess they run small. Im not a huge guy (5'10, 170lbs) and I typically wear a medium to small in shirts, but I found the Large sized gloves to fit perfect. They have some stretch because of the fabric, but they dont stretch out too much over time.

While I don't think these gloves were made with weight-lifting specifically in mind, I can tell you that I've worn mine 40 hours every work week, for very arduous, hands-on, heavy lifting work, for about a month and a half now. They're holding up brilliantly. The palms and fingertips are a durable-weight leather, the stitching is very sturdy, and the wrists are elastic, with adjustable Velcro closure, so I bet they would stand up to weight-lifting fairly well. The only drawback with weight-lifting might be that the palms are extremely durable, but not terribly breathable. (Unlike the backs which are a lighter-weave fabric, and nicely breathable.) Hope this answers your question!

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.;-)

Absolutely. They fit snug, I don't really want loose gloves. They have a lot of friction and recover very quickly if they get dirt or water on them. Would definitely buy them again.

I have fairly large hands and these fit me well. It might fit a little weird in between the bases of your fingers. It's really not that bad though since they stretch. If you are planning on using them solely for typing and not for layering/outdoor use then you might want to get something more comfy like isotoner gloves (drawback would be that they aren't as breathable).

I have fairly large hands and used the large sized gloves. I would say they will fit gloves are kind of a one size fits all especially at this level of training. If you have any trouble you can make up some of the difference with the way you wrap your hands. It really depends on what you are using the gloves. If you are using them just for bag work or mit work they will most likely do fine. I would recommend buying them directly from amazon and if you have any issue later you can send them back. Amazon's return service is great and it really gives me confidence buying from a retailer when I can't necessarily try them on. you could also go to a local sportswear spot and try them on and then buy them here.

They are large and very long. A bit large for my hands - I usually wear a medium sized glove.

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.

Yes. I have used these for a year and am very happy. Some biking gloves work better than others with these my favorites are specialized. Takes a few tries to adjust.

Yes! I find most gardening type gloves are either too tight and wear through too quickly, or the heavy duty ones too loose in the fingers. I was pleasantly surprised at how comfortably these fit yet allow me to do do most anything without taking them off.

I have read Texcasters response and it tells you all you really need to know, except for the velcro closure patch which is large and holds very well.These gloves are very tight fitting and stiff,great for protection, but take time to limber up for movement. Use baby powder on them for your first 5 or 6 times to reduce the struggle of getting them on/off...a good protective glove.

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.

I have heard that for some people the gloves ran a bit small. I am a mens Large and I ordered Size XL for men and it was true to size. Mine fit nicely but there is definitely a little room in them. With that being said, I think a Mens Small would probably be the best fit for you with a little room to spare but it is hard for me to say for sure. they are a bit stretchy which is forgiving. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.
