I absolutely hate gloves. Never in my life have I had a pair I like. I have a box that must have twenty pairs. Until I bought these.... This pair of Mechanic gloves fit perfectly. My hands don't feel restricted and I can pick up and grip anything. My hands do not get hot or sweaty wearing these. I can work on my old Beetles engine and feel every part and handle everything as if I was using bare hands. The fingers fit perfectly with a no excess or shortness. The material is top notch and the stitching is perfect. I purchased a pair of large and I feel I have average size hands. I plan on buying more pairs for gardening and shooting. These are simply the most amazing gloves on the market. If you hate wearing gloves, or you need to with your job, these are the ones you want. .
I bought a pair last summer, and I've just returned here to buy at least 3 more pair. For what they're made for, nothing could be better. They aren't going to keep your hands warm in very cold weather, but they aren't designed to. The thin leather makes handling things almost as easy as not having gloves on. I can do all sorts of chores around the house and shop in cold weather, and they work great. You can easily handle small objects. They're great for handling firewood. I also use them in glassblowing, and again it's like not having gloves on, except they provide more protection than you might think for such a thin glove. They fit very well, and they slip on and off easily. When they're on, they're like having a second thick skin. I've typed on a computer with them. I can take my wallet out of my pocket and insert or remove bills easily. Being such thin leather, they aren't going to last as long as heavier gloves, but they're SO much more handy than any other gloves I own. I just can't say enough good things about these gloves. Once you've got them wet a couple times, the leather acts like a chamois and will immediately soak up any moisture they come in contact with. But they dry out nicely and continue to wear and fit superbly even after many wet/dry cycles. Even in our long cold NH winter, I've worn these all winter long and only switch out for heavier gloves when I am doing extended outdoor work. I've got lots of work gloves; cotton with rubber dots, cowhide insulated & uninsulated, pigskin, you name it. I've also got similar gloves with a bit heavier leather and velcro wrist straps. These are much better, both for the feel and for being quicker and easier to put on and off. Once they're on, they stay on very nicely. These are my favorite and most versatile gloves by far.
I do all my own work on my car in some stupid conditions. A month ago i changed the thermostat on my Jeep outside when it was 30 degrees outside. Granted that's not subzero, but these gloves surprising kept my hands decently warm and still able to tight screws by hand and do some pretty nimble tasks. From other reviews I read I was surprised by how warm they kept my hands and how much tactile feel they do remove. Don't get me wrong these are not a winter work glove and these do keep much more tactile feel than other gloves, but reading other reviews you would think they were a second skin. I would really recommend the 'Fast Fit' style as well because I always have tasks I need to take them on and off for working on cars. All in all these are excellent gloves and well worth the ten dollars I paid for them. They seem pretty durable as well. But we shall see!
Great work glove would buy again. Probably not the most durable if your working with abrasive things, but they protect my hands well.
BUT THESE XL GLOVES MUST BE FOR SMALL PEOPLE, I CAN GET THEM ON BUT VERY LITTLE FINGER MOVEMENT BECAUSE THERE TOO TIGHT.

I leave these in my car and come in handy when I need to do anything on my car in the cold or not. I work in an office so I don’t want to get my work clothes dirty with oil and such so I make sure to use these gloves if anything comes up
These are great gloves I use them every day that’s why I keep reordering them.
Don't confuse the words "tactical" with "tactile". These gloves are thin to provide finger friendly feel when working any project. They provide excellent basic protection against cuts, scraps, dirt, and "warm" (not hot) objects. They'll also work as base layer for cold weather (I wear a heavier set of gloves over top of these for additional warmth). They're a good glove for 90% of everyday needs. They are not waterproof and will absorb liquid. However you can using nitrile/latex gloves over/under these gloves. I recommend using the sizing chart and buying the correct size glove. Don't "man up" and buy a glove too big for your hand.
These are the "Fast Fit", so no Velcro straps to wear out after a month!
These "synthetic leather" gloves are the best thing since sliced bread. The gloves withstand abuse better than any leather work gloves I have ever owned. They are also totally immune to getting wet. Just let them dry out overnight and good to go. They don't get stiff like real leather work gloves do. In fact you can put them in the washer.
The only down side is that they are not good with welding or really hot stuff - they will melt.
I bought these gloves to prevent metal shavings from entering the skin of my hands when working with metal. They do a pretty good job and you can still feel things through the gloves. I can even navigate the touchscreen of my smartphone with them on. I would recommend these to anybody who wants to keep metal from getting in their hands and to people who don't want the isolated feeling you get with most gloves.
