Durahide Leather FastFit Work Glove with Elastic Cuff for Secure Fit

I wear Mechanix gloves every day at work, just the Original or Fast Fit black ones and I love them. I figured I'd get a nice leather pair for at home and this pair of gloves has surprised me so many times. I've had them for 2 years now, never beat them up that much other than occasionally moving logs around in the fire which ended up being their downfall. I should have gotten the original or the M-pact, on the Fast Fit model the leather or protection doesn't go up the inside or the outside of the fingers of the glove except for the index finger there is just the stretchy material there probably to help them flex more to get them on your hand. It just so happened that I grabbed a burning log a little too tight and a little too long and it burnt holes in the stretchy part of the fingers of the gloves. It didn't burn me though, and that isn't the first time I've had issues with the protection not covering the inside or outside of the fingers. I'm going to be purchasing the M-pact model next because of the extra palm leather, and the leather goes all the way up the inside and outside of the fingers. I could do without the knuckle protection but it's an added benefit. The Durahide leather is superbly durable the leather is still as thick as it was the day I bought them, and absolutely the most comfortable leather glove I've ever wore. The only complaint I have is really with the way the Fast Fit model is designed. They are faster to get on not necessarily easier and might be just a tad bit comfier due to the glove being tighter on your hand, but they have less protection and aren't as durable as the Original. If you get the Fast Fit model, I would tell you to get them a size down from what you would get in the Original. The Original doesn't have the flex that the Fast Fit does so you can downsize the Fast Fit. The Original are easier to get on, but the Fast Fits offer a much better fit "Like a glove" so to speak. I would recommend any Mechanix product because I've used them extensively and they have absolutely saved my hands on more than one occasion!

This is my 4th pair of Mechanix Wear Fast Fit Leather gloves and I keep coming back to them for a reason. I use them primarily for yard work and moving materials around, and I put them through real abuse such as oil stains, wet grass, damp equipment, and regular contact with metal and wood. A pair lasts me about two years under those conditions, which I think is pretty reasonable given how hard I am on them. Normally that would give me pause and lower my rating, but combined with the reasonable price, I'm fine replacing them every so often. Here's the reason I keep coming back. I once had my finger pulled into a belt system on a piece of yard equipment while wearing these gloves. I broke the bone in that finger, but the leather construction absorbed enough of the impact that I kept the finger and miraculously did not have any actual abrasions/cuts to the skin. The damage was all internal (the bone break). Without them I would have almost certainly lost my finger entirely. That's not something I take lightly, and it's the main reason I won't wear anything else. Beyond that, they fit well, hold up to the day-to-day punishment of outdoor and manual work, and the fast fit design makes them easy to get on and off. If you're doing any kind of serious yard work or handling rough materials regularly, I'd strongly recommend these gloves.

I am convinced that these gloves saved me from taking a 1/4" groove out of my index and thumb on my left hand while using a masonry disk on a grinder today. They took a graze from the disk at full tilt when it kicked and ran at my left hand, barely a scuff on the gloves and some sore but intact fingertips. I don't know if any other gloves would have kept me from having my whole day ruined, but these definitely did and I am glad to have had them protecting my fingers at work. They do suffer from the typical durability issues for gloves of this type of construction; where the seams of the leather fingers meeting the fabric backing give out before the leather. I really wish Mechanix would make the fingers entirely out of Durahide, or even the 4x material, instead of a fabric backing so the gloves would last more than a few weeks of work. Even just bringing it 80% of the way around would drastically improve the durability. Even with the expected durability issues while working with masonry, I will continue to buy Durahide or 4x Mechanix gloves because of how much abuse they can handle. They blow other options out of the water, so I always have a fresh pair waiting so I don't have to go a day of hard work without them.

I usually wear through gloves pretty quick, usually at the finger tips. So far neither pair i bought has worn through at the tips palms, or anywhere the leather is. They have great dexterity. I can grab screws and use a combo lock. They work decent with my phone and smart watch. Unfortunately, I think these gloves are only good for tasks where abrasion is low. I used them while framing and they seem pretty good. Splitting wood, fence work, good. Probably good for mechanical work. However, only a few tasks pulling weeds and moving rocks results in blow outs on the sides of the fingers where the leather meets the elastic fabric. I used some bish fabric mender on them which lasts about as long as the original material. The photo is a preemptive coating as this is my second pair this month and they are already about to wear through. I gave them 4 stars because they are cheap. I get some decent gloves and my dogs get chew toys for $11? I'm not mad.

I love these, as they are super convenient to pull on and off quickly, and they fit very well. Having the ability to touch-screen use while wearing, not a bad feature, either. Would definitely recommend these!

I bought these to replace a set of insulated gloves of a similar style. They seem to be just as durable, but not as padded as the insulated ones. This is great to get my hands in tight places, but doesn't provide much of any shock resistance when I do something such as break a bolt loose and hit my hand on something. These gloves fit very well and are easy to pull on and off with the red loops at the wrist. I was worried the elastic at the wrist might not hold them on well, but I haven't had any issues with that. Overall I'm happy with these and I will likely buy another pair once I inevitably tear them apart.

I did 28 years in the Army and went through a lot of different work and combat-oriented gloves. These are the best I've owned. I use them for moving dirt and rocks when I'm planting trees; lifting, moving, and throwing logs and rough-cut timber; handling large items with sharp edges; refueling farm equipment (and getting fuel spilled on them); then throw them in the washer--and sometimes the dryer--and put them back in service immediately.

I've been using this brand for a while now.,great pair of gloves. I had to settle for something similar when my two local hardware stores stopped selling this product and I payed more and they only lasted half the time.,Glad I found them here, and for the same price! AWESOME

After wearing through my older ones, it was time for a new pair. I found it hard to decide online without being able to try things on. I bought a pair of these gloves as well as a pair of: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0001VNZQY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I do pretty much everything in my gloves: cut trees, chop wood, shovel, move stuff, construction, carpentry. Some gloves I've worn out in a couple of weeks, others have lasted me at least a year. So I look for gloves that are comfortable and durable and not so bulky I can't do things like grab a screw or work a pencil. The other ones arrived first, I'm not overly keen on them as the velcro strap gets annoying when I want to quickly take the gloves off and put them back on and the palm material feels like I'll wear through them within a month if I used them in my typical manner. Once these one's showed up I fell in love with them. I have zero complaints, they look great, they feel great, they're easy to work in, the tension band feels durable as well, making it easy to take the gloves on an off quickly. These are now my go-to work gloves, I plan to buy a bunch of them. "Touch Screen" stars. I've not tried to use my phone yet, so don't have a comment on that part.

La verdad Mechanix nunca me han fallado y este modelo de piel se ve aún mejor que los anteriores que he probado. Aclarando no los utilizo para trabajo solo los uso en la bicicleta y para practicas de Tiro.

Perfect for gardening or mechanics

I work in industrial construction, these are the gloves of choice. They tackle most tasks very well, good protection, good durability, and allow you to maintain a high level of dexterity. They certainly are not cheap, but these last me 2 or 3 times longer than normal cheaper gloves, so they are worth the additional expense. I prefer the fast fit over the velcro style, and these leather palm gloves over the other mechanix models, although those are personal preference.
