Original Leather Gloves - Durable Synthetic Leather Gloves for Protecting Hands - Comfort Fit - Breathable - Abrasion Resistant - Machine Washable - Brown/Black - Medium

I am a tower technician and I work in different states and in different weather conditions. I think the price and quality of these gloves are justified, at least these are the only gloves that last me two months of work. Pros: Quite durable gloves, with reservations capable of withstanding very harsh operating conditions - working with metal, miles of rope, rope equipment, any tool from a power tool to a shovel. Interact with the phone screen. Suitable for working with small parts, but with not perfect presice because of leather. Cons: Weak threads, the seam on the index fingers quickly came apart. I glued it with super glue. By my opinion the fabric on the thumbs wears out quite quickly. Subjectively - the little finger is too long for me. No big deal.

I use them for the gym. I was looking for a full finger, single piece seamless Palm, abrasion resistant glove. Finger seams not so good, already broke. I also use them around the house.

Comfortable gloves, easy to use. I can't pick up a dime with them on, but I work well with these. The grip is good; it has leather fingers. They'll help you to keep warm in the winter, but they're not lined. I wear the large and fit well. I used them most every day.

Having tried almost every style of glove Mechanix makes, I was really hoping this would be The One, the glove that offers both durability and comfort at the same time. Like the other Original models I've used, the first thing you notice when trying these on is how prominent the stitching is in the fingers. With these being leather instead of fabric, the stitching becomes not just prominent, but down right uncomfortable, at least before breaking them in. Sadly, being leather, that aspect of the design isn't likely to improve too dramatically, so raw patches or blisters on your fingers should probably be expected until your skin adapts, if you intend to wear these for hours at a time doing pounding or jarring work activities. On the plus side, being leather (more like suede) they provide a much better grip than Mechanix fabric palmed gloves. And the base of the fingers doesn't practically cut into your finger circulation like their leather impact models can before undergoing a rather painful break-in period. For the money they're asking Mechanix needs to do better, whether it's a case of manufacturing inconsistency or just plain bad design. With other models I've found there can be a significant difference between the fit and particularly the interior stitching between two different pair of the exact same glove. Though said inconsistency seems to affect entire batches, as tried on every pair in a store and found them to all feel the same, but then ordered another online and it felt considerably better. Their original line seems to be the worst. In terms of finger stitching, I don't think that minimizing how much the stitching rubs on your fingers was even a consideration of the design. They've improved that aspect in their Mpact line though. Comparing models, the Mechanix 4x material gloves I have were much more comfortable initially, but as those aren't genuine leather they won't hold up as well as these, nor will they provide as solid a grip. Though the 4x material models do have a little better grip than Mechanix standard original models and tactical mpact models, both of which offer very little grip, being all fabric palms. I would still recommend these to anyone who needs a durable, relatively form fitting work glove, who doesn't plan to use them with any kind of masonry application, as there aren't too many gloves that can hold up to that kind of abuse, these included. I'd recommend trying them on in stores first. But a lot of Mechanix models can be hard to find in stores, and this seems to be one of the hardest. I'd searched for months, fearing a blind-buy online, considering Mechanix manufacturing inconsistencies. I even asked Mechanix if they could help me locate a store, but they could only name major chains that carry their product; they couldn't narrow it down to any one model. Lowes had the best in store selection I found, but it was pitifully inadequate compared to amazon, which appears to carry them all. 081018 Update: I don't wear them every day, but over the past year I've put these gloves through a good deal of use and abuse, mostly with wood (splitting, gathering, carrying, burning). These things have held up surprisingly well even to handling hot coals and stirring partly burnt logs in camp fires, logs that were hot enough to burn my skin through the gloves, yet didn't damage the leather in the glove itself, nor has the stitching come loose. I alternate between these and several other Mechanix and Ironclad glove models, but find I turn to these more often than not, due to the added grip of the leather and added comfort over Mechanix leather MPact model.

Very nice work gloves. Strong and durable. I have many pairs of these and only buy this brand. Functionality is spot on. Protects your hand and doesn’t limit my use.

Great work gloves. I don't usually like wearing gloves, even in cold weather, however these work very well. Good flexibility and grip on small items.

I needed gloves for outdoor work at the gun club. Carpentry, holding splintered wood, hauling things, landscaping, etc. These gloves are perfect and can take an unbelievable beating.

Like these gloves alot hold up very well and comfortable to wear all day.
