Mechanix Wear Gloves — Hand Protection

November 12, 2018 by Major Pandemic 1 Comment

When hunting, hiking, working, weeding, turning bolts, wild mushroom hunting, moving bags of mulch, pushing through brush, or handling previously live game, a pair of gloves is a handy thing to keep your hands clean, warm, and injury-free. As inexpensive, simple, and handy as gloves are, we often forget about them as essential outdoor gear.

For those who consistently reach for the old school gloves, you deserve to take a long hard look at the new breed of form-fitting, ergonomically correct gloves originally created by Mechanix Wear.

The number one bodily injury since the dawn of mankind is…. yes, you guessed it, hand injuries. Like eye protection, most of those injuries could be prevented with something as simple and comfortable as Mechanix Wear’s line of gloves. Protection of course needs to be tuned to the task at hand, with heat, cold, cut resistance, puncture resistance, fire resistance, etc. all being variables. Even a general-purpose set of gloves will provide a significant increase in hand protection during a broad array of everyday situations.

For those who consistently reach for the old school gloves, you deserve to take a long hard look at the new breed of form fitting ergonomically correct gloves originally created by Mechanix Wear. They are exponentially more comfortable, allow a higher level of dexterity, cooler in hot weather, offer insulated versions for cold weather, and in almost all cases are lighter than the old leather versions.

Higher comfort and gloves that are more dexterous means you are not tugging them on and off constantly to do higher detail tasks typically suited for only naked little digits. The Mechanix gloves are on your hands more, which means they can do their job more effectively.

Mechanix Hardware and Tactical lines have always appealed to the author’s hand protection needs, however you may find other Mechanix lines that you like better.

Mechanix offers a number of models including some with elastic wrist cuffs instead of their standard Velcro secured models. From outfitting the tactically focused military to delivering the ultimate home improvement glove, Mechanix Wear offers a stunning line of gloves to fit any task.

Mechanix Hardware and Tactical lines have always appealed to my hand protection needs, however you may find other Mechanix lines that you like better. Various models focus on impact protection such as Mechanix M-Pact line, but others provide simple and light protection such as the Original line. Last fall, I picked up Mechanix newest Winter Armor insulated $32.99 and Fast Fit $17.99 gloves both in Mossy Oak. The Winter Armor have become my new cold weather work gloves with just enough insulation to keep your hands warm and protected during physical outdoor activities. The Fast Fit feature Mecahnix’s elastic cuff slip-on design allows quick on/on use without fiddling with a Velcro cuff. For hard use, I prefer the Velcro cuff for light-duty work to keep your hands clean and injury free they are perfect.

Try out a set of Mechanix Wear gloves they it will change your perspective of what you can do with gloves on. We already protect out eyes and ears during outdoor sporting activities. The time has come to start protecting your next most valuable outdoor asset.
