## Description

The Mechanix Wear Original Work Glove sets the gold standard for hardworking hands with innovative features designed for comfort, durability, and functionality. These ventilated gloves are equipped with snag-reducing and cooling mesh that wraps around the back of the hand to keep hands cool and comfortable while reducing additional seams and increasing durability. The fingertips and palms are made out of welded synthetic leather, making them abrasion resistant and touch-screen compatible. For additional durability and comfort, the thumb saddle area is wrapped in a Welded Lock Ring grip design, and the heel of the palm is padded for vibration damping. Heavy duty work is made easier with increased dexterity from the Freedom-Flex stitched cuff design, which keeps the glove from bunching, ensuring unrestricted movement.

Review: Great Work or Protective Gloves - Excellent work or just protective gloves. I’ve had one pair for prob 20 years, very worn but still usable. Size runs a little smaller maybe than years ago, I got the XL 11 and a pair of XXL12. Both fit fine one just a littles more snug. These are flexible and comfortable enough to use for driving in cold weather.
Review: May feel urge to hit a Stinger Splash - Great gloves that work with touchscreen! Good fit, they feel light but are thick enough to keep your hands warm and protected. I feel like Sting! So that’s another star 6/6

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great work gloves!
*by A***P on January 21, 2026*

These gloves are awesome and durable, the only issue I have is there’s no strap towards the wrist to pull them down when you put them on, I had to use a piece of 550 cord to make a loop through the little hole where they were attached to the packaging.
