Review: Multiple-use Precision Hand Protection: Great for Shooting. - These are just an all-round great pair of gloves. They provide an excellent grip and an ideal balance between protection and dexterity. Being able to have that full range of motion and feel was especially important for my entended use: shooting/tactical gloves. I get sweaty hands when engaging in any activity that gets my heart pumping, shooting a gun is one of those activities. It is not comfortable having a deadly weapon slipping in your hand as you shoot it. These were an excellent solution. They do not limit your range of motion and the grip is just right, not too sticky and not too slick. I was able to grip the firearm great and helped my aim, control, and comfort level. That being said, these gloves provide and excellent grip and would work for activities such as driving, riding a bike, or different forms of physical labor. I personally have used them for carpentry and they are second to none. Most work gloves are thick and made of leather. Grabbing nails with them are an absolute pain in the neck. These gloves provide the protection and ability to work with precision. They will also be fit for multiple seasons, although there are better choices for winter gloves. However, I would not hesitate to use these in the winter if need be. These gloves will also be a nice addition to a camping kit as they seem to hold up pretty well for the price. They are decent for processing wood and other minor camp tasks; although, for more heavy duty tasks that do not require precision, I would recommend those thick leather gloves. I do not think it is wise to spend $30 on a pair of gloves as they will eventually end up like all gloves, ripped and riddled with holes. It is inevitable. These things will last a while and are worth the price. desertcart is also great because they sell at better prices than even Walmart or Target. At Target, I have seen them for over $20. With prime and no taxes, I only paid $17 for them. If you need super heavy dudey gloves, i would definitely recommend another pair of gloves. But, for there intended use and keeping adequat dexterity, these are the best i have found Great product from a reliable company. I highly recommend these Mechanix Wear gloves.
Review: Great for outdoor work, working on cars, and precision work - Feels great to wear for precision work. I like the fit and they are nice for outdoor work. I install & test car batteries at work in all kinds of weather and these are super helpful. They feel high quality and allow me to use my hands fully, without any reduced motor function or being too bulky for using electronic diagnostic tools. The touchscreen-capable layer on the palm & fingers is helpful and is just as responsive as your fingers on most devices, even for some typing on larger displays.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these bulletproof? Will they block 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm nato rounds?**
A: Mine stopped a 20mm round fired at me from an A10.
The dexterity was exceptional. So good in fact, it helped me to pick up my entrenching tool which I hurled at the plane literally knocking it out of the sky.
Oh, they also protect your hand from heavy objects. An Abrams tank ran over mine and except for a little pressure I didn’t feel a thing.
They can also withstand a bite from a 18’ Great White. 
Seriously, some of these questions are ridiculous. Stop eating Tide Pods you bunch of morons....

**Q: HOW DO I FIND OUT MY HAND SIZE?**
A: I tried the hand size chart, and it tells me "Large", except I have trouble fitting into a 2X (XXL) glove. Take it with a grain of salt, and go find a store, try on various maker's sizes to actually find your size.

**Q: Would the 2X-small fit a 13 year old**
A: There really is no right answer for this. I've seen a 13 yr old that was 6'2" & 240lbs who used size XL gloves. I'm 18 yrs old 5'8" & 140lbs and I usesize small.

**Q: Please, what is difference between XX-LARGE and 2X-Large? I need size 12" (28cm-30cm) and what do you think that is the right size?**
A: Hi, Since I am not a seller, don't know why you are asking me about the size but here is a link that might helps you to find right size for you.http://www.mechanix.com/mech_download/76cd7a04f05ed8bd88e173cb0379ea9eIf the link does not work, please visit www.mechanix.com and see the bottom of the page.
