Not sure why people say these gloves are thick..for how warm they are they are very thin. I chose mechanix because i won a free pair of gloves from them a year or 2 back and i loved them. Recently i list one glove so i had ordered a new pair, decided to try a new model. I love them, i work with dogs so (biting,scratches,) it has medium protection(not stopping punctures) i have recently pryed a puppys mouth open to extract a babywipe out from his throat(purpose the of the wipe: to remove the poop from his butt)....he has razer sharp teeth, a coworker of mine got all bit up and blood bathed for sticking his hands in, at the time i used my gloves(had them on) and was able to remove it no injury, so it helps ENOUGH. It is only slightlythicker than my last pair (only because of paddings placed in very good spots, i am use to lifting 5gallon buckets all day back and forth and some, dont have plastic handle guards for you . every now and then id get a pinched nerve in my hand. With these gloves i no longer do. 6/5 would buy another pair if only my work would pay for the necessary protection we need. I feel if we were outfitted with these there would be less staff injury.
First reason why I gave my Mechanix Wear M-Pact Large Gloves (Black/Red) four stars is because the red strips on the fingers started to come off. By the time I realized it, two of them got lost (maybe on the way when I was biking from work) and another three of them started to come off halfway. Although I fix it with a Loctite Super Glue, I am still kinda disappointed that 4 days after using it, the red strips on the fingers are coming off. Maybe some of the buyers are buying this gloves because they want to use it for their heavy duty activities, but I bought this particular glove because it looks badass. Furthermore when I first have this glove, I was under the impression that the colored rubber decorations and labels are one with the whole black rubber that was covering the top of the glove, but I was wrong. Lets just hope that the rest of the decorations and whole rubber material won't do the same thing. The second reason is because one the fabric in between the fingers are sticking out. It not as if I use the gloves the entire day. I only use it for almost an hour a day back in forth from my home to my work and its not as if I ride my bike like some guy who was doing extreme stunts or something. Plus, its been 4 days after I bought it when I started to notice the problem.
For now I give 4 stars because of these problems. Since the glove is still functional as it was described, I will continue to use it. Although I am hoping that this glove would last at least a year or so, but if it starts to fall off or get torn for no reason at all before the end of the year, then I will stop buying this type of glove.
Held together for one whole month before I had to start putting duct tape on it like my old pair, but let me express something.
These lasted a whole month while other gloves I used last two or three days, at most.
The work I perform is intense on the hands, and for the best interest of my partner I try to wear gloves as much as possible to ease the impact on them. Specifically, the most wear I see on gloves are the inner knuckles between the index and ring finger, and the outside middle knuckle on the index finger (I spend a good amount of time wrapping things with spools rolling around in my hand.)
Normally, the friction alone would wear a hole into normal gloves in a single day, but these things lasted a MONTH before I had to patch them. I'm still using them, and probably will for another month before needing a new pair. But this is a pleasant pair of gloves.
They're hot, but thick and protective, as well as comfortable and flexible. 4/5 isn't a bad score. A perfect 5/5 would lotion my hands, scrub my calluses off and never need replacing, period. This, by far, is the best score I've ever given CLOTHING, specifically work gear.
The gloves seem to be very well made and fit well. I'm returning them because I don't need the M-Pact protection over my knuckles and thought it was too restrictive for something that wouldn't benefit me. I am ordering another pair of Mechanix Wear gloves in a more appropriate style for my needs.
These gloves are very well made and super protective, especially for the back of the hand. After multiple hand surgeries, I require the most protection I can get, and these Mechanix M-Pact gloves provide it. They also will reduce the "bruising" one gets if taking blood thinners. Added to all of practical and useful features, there is the cool factor. They really have the "I'll be back" look to them. As always, well, as a general rule, Amazon also had a very competitive price and reliable shipping.

The M-Pact delivers full-coverage hand protection with an impact-absorbing Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) knuckle guard and dedicated finger guards that shield the top of your hand while you work. The dual-layer internal fingertip construction reinforces your thumb and index finger to improve abrasion resistance where you need it most. When the going gets tough, D3O palm padding reacts on impact to absorb and dissipate energy through the palm of your hand.
Bought these for an OCR. They held up nicely however the plastic/rubber coating on the inside knuckles got super slippery once wet. They also held a lot of water. I'll admit however these are made for rugged durability not Spartan Races so for their intended purpose I'll give them all 5 stars.
Great gloves. Very flexible and durable
I'm using these as motorcycle gloves and I love them. Although I haven't had the opportunity to ride with them in cold weather they are definitely good for warm/hot weather.
Nice gloves!
Product arrived in perfect condition with no damage. Both gloves fit as expected (I got a large size). Very comfortable, thank you!
