3.0 out of 5 stars Thick, protective, though bulky and significant loss in dexterity, August 24, 2008

This review is from: Mechanix Wear MMP-05-009 M-Pact Glove, Black, Medium (Tools & Hardware)

I'm a former USAF F-15 Crew Chief and found these worked okay on the jet, giving me security when reaching inside the various doors and panels and not getting burnt or scratched up, but for doing work on my bike as well as using them as protective gloves as riding they're far from ideal. I often have to take a glove off to do something simple.

They fit a little loose on me (finger lengths a bit too long) and aren't ugly, but they are bulky and they can't do micro adjustments and have difficulty doing stuff such as handling small objects such as washers, nuts, and pins. I have to take them off to go into pockets since the backing likes to catch on everything. They can't deal with the buttons on my Sansa e260 MP3 player and even have trouble putting the earbuds in.

These are a bit overprotective in the wrong areas for almost all occupations. A lumberjack that has to do a lot with brush and branches could possibly make use of these if they didn't catch. A firefighter too maybe for at least a few of their tasks, not full-time. A carpenter prone to smashing their fingertips with a hammer... oh wait, there's not much protection there. As a Crew Chief, I went a long time just using the blue/purple Nitril medical exam gloves and a rag for most things, like handling HAZMAT. I could've easily went the rest of my enlistment without them.

The original Mechanix gloves are superior in every way except for protection. When you need protection for something like heat, you'd grab extra anyways, like a rag.

Great glove for military use. I'm in Iraq and am using them on operations in combat environments. Not too thick to where you can't feel through the tips, but durable enough to change a hot barrel. Recommend to everyone in the military.

These gloves are everything I wanted, especially for the price. I use them when I go shooting and they feel great. I am almost tempted to get another pair for work. I don't want to ruin the pair I have.
