This review is from: Mechanix Wear MGV-55-010 Original Vent Glove, Covert, Large (Tools & Home Improvement)

These are very nice gloves. I like the Mechanix line, but really wasn't thrilled with the repeated logo in white on the normal gloves. These have the same logo, only it is, as the description says, covert. Still readable, but not garish.

I know it's redundant to say they fit like a glove, but that expression got it's origins from things that fit perfectly. I have compared these to other work gloves, such as Stanley, but those all had seams that just hit the wrong places and would eventually make my fingers or fingertips sore. These gloves fit like a second skin. A slightly thicker second skin, but just the same.

While I can't exactly type out an email with them on, I can still use a keyboard without pressing four keys at once. They protect your hands very well, yet I can still pick up a dime off of the floor with them on.

The are vented, as stated, but they are still black and leather. You hands will still get a bit warm. But warm beats the heck out of the "hot" from similar products. Oh, and they're washable, too.

I suggest going to a brick and mortar store to try them on to get your size then come back here for a better price. If you don't need them right away, pop 'em in your cart and wait for the price to go down. I did and one day they dipped in price five bucks and a couple of clicks later, they were mine.

I've used these gloves primarily when I'm out hunting, but also for light yard work, furniture moving, and car work. The fit is perfect for me. These keep my hands dry while hunting and keeps thorns from desert plants from scratching me to death too. I've have several pairs of the original Mechanix gloves, and these are a good substitute except they're not as good at protecting the back of your hand from hot engine parts. The thickness of the material on the fingers is the same as my original Mechanix gloves, so dextarity is about the same, which is to say very good. I also like the all black with very subtle logo images.

I first ran into these in Iraq, and they're straight wonderful. I use them for labor, pull ups, weightlifting, mechanical work, and pretty much anything where I want my hands to remain dainty and callous free. I only bought my second pair (these ones) after my old ones FINALLY fell apart after being tortured for a year and a half. Approve.
