I bought these gloves about a weekago. I work in a garage that specializes in tire installations etc...I thought these would be perfect. They fit great. I could type wearing them...lugnuts were no problem. The problem is they wore away on the fingers where i grip things. I'm very surprised the rest of the glove looks brand new. I tried the other mechanix gloves with the padded palms but those are just slightly too bulky, which is unfortunate. Imight try these again but im very leery about them wearing away again.. I might just cut away the fingers, but that seems like a waste to me. Oh well I suppose these gloves would be excellent for things such as raking, maybe gardening, or maybe engine work. But my overall impression it's a very good fitting, tight, workable glove, just don't work them too hard!

I actually first got a used pair of Mechanix gloves from my neighbor that he had laying around his garage... tried them and even with holes worn into the fingers in a few places I liked the fit and the velcro closure. Wanted a "pure" black pair for use when I go camping and shooting - just a good idea for saving those fleshy grippy things at the end of each arm from cuts, scrapes, pinches, etc. In fact, I patched up the original pair when my neighbor didn't want them back & those are still working great around the house here!

These Large Stealth (remember that the last 3 digits are the size - so 009 is Medium, 010 is Large, 011 is X-Large, etc.) fit great (see below). I am a little leery of the "thinner" velcro (doesn't look like the traditional velcro we've all come to know & love...) but so far it's holding & working great. If they had the "normal" velcro, I probably would've bumped up to all five stars. Now to order & try a tan pair and maybe a cold-weather pair too.

For some additional detail on the fit - these almost feel like a 2nd skin. I can pick up nickles & quarters with my fingertips in these - and that just doesn't happen with a lot of gloves out there. Can't pick up dimes though. I can break branches or change mags in my Ruger 10/22 by touch and still have excellent protection for my digits, knuckles, and the rest of my hand. Get them - for the price, they have good durability and excellent fit & feel.
