Mechanix WearM-Pact Tactical Gloves with Secure Fit, Touchscreen Capable Safety Gloves for Men, Work Gloves with Impact Protection and Vibration Absorption (Camouflage - MultiCam, Medium)

Alright, let’s talk about the Mechanix Wear M-Pact Covert Tactical Gloves (Black, Medium). These gloves have been my go-to for range days, airsoft matches, and some light yard work, and they’ve impressed me with their blend of protection and usability.Why They’re Solid: These gloves are built like a tank but don’t feel like you’re wearing one. The Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) knuckle and finger guards meet EN 13594 impact standards, so they shrug off bumps and knocks like it’s nothing—I’ve smacked my hands on gear at the range and barely felt it. The D3O palm padding is a game-changer, soaking up vibration and impact, which made a noticeable difference when I was running a drill with my AR-15 and dumping rounds. The 0.8mm synthetic leather palm is grippy and durable, and the dual-layer reinforcement on the thumb and index finger holds up well against wear. Touchscreen capability is a big plus—I can use my phone without pulling them off, though it’s not as responsive as bare fingers. The TrekDry material on the back keeps your hands cool and comfy, even during sweaty summer sessions, and the nylon web loop makes storage a breeze. At $25-$30, they’re a steal compared to pricier brands, and Amazon reviews back this up, with one user saying, “They’re worth every penny for the protection and dexterity.”The Cool Stuff: The covert black design looks sleek and professional, perfect for tactical settings or just feeling like a badass. They’re versatile—great for shooting, airsoft, paintball, construction, or even motorcycle riding. The fit is snug without being tight, and the TPR closure locks them securely to your wrist. I’ve used them for hours without discomfort, and they’ve held up through mud, sweat, and rough handling. One reviewer noted they’re “effective against 6mm BBs” in airsoft, and I can confirm they’ve saved my knuckles from some painful hits.

No bruising and I can use my hand again the day after dumping 100 12-gauge slugs on range day after getting these. Trigger feel preserved. The gray color is bold and solid, worth the notable premium for me. Fit is quite good for off the shelf in XL. Grip is assertive. Military recommended. Solid gloves.

[...]Toughness: 9/10 Fingers!These gloves can take a lot of abuse. I’ve had one of the original pairs for over 2 years. I recently had to finally replace them, and that’s only because I lost them. It was a sad day for sure.I’m in the military and specifically a support unit, so gloves are critical to everything I do there. These took all the abuse of fixing motors, spilt fluids, handling rough surfaces, throwing weapons, around, etc. The only reason they don’t get a 10 is that the velcro on the wrist strap started to separate from the strap after about a year of use. Super glue fixed it, but it’s an imperfection and I want to be honest.Weight: 10/10 Fingers!These things only way 5.6 ounces. That’s barely a third of a pound. When you wear them they almost feel like nothing is there, which is exactly what you want with a pair of gloves, and for those who have to haul a lot of gear around, they essentially add nothing to your load out.Warmth: 5/10 FingersThis is the only true problem I’ve found with these gloves but that doesn’t stop them from being the best work gloves around. They do stop biting wind and provide some basic warmth, but they aren’t cold weather gloves. Which during the summer is a great advantage to them. But during the winter you need a little something more. I use these Under Armour Liners with mine and they become super toasty. Another advantage to using those liners is that they keep the tactile feedback strong and don’t add a lot of weight. But they will work with standard issue Army wool glove liners too.Looks: 10/10 Fingers!As stated, I’m in the military and need a pair of gloves that work with the uniform, and these fit the bill perfectly, but they do come in black and other standard colors so you don’t have to go super tactical with them if that’s not your thing. Another reason I think these are the best work gloves in the looks department is that they don’t have the hard knuckle cover a lot of “tacticool” gloves do. I’ve worn those style of gloves before and hate them. They just never fit right and sometimes when wearing them I feel like I’m trying to hard to look like I’m in the special forces. These gloves give you the protection of the hard knuckles with a soft rubber protector but don’t sacrifice the look or feel that those hard knuckle gloves do.Tactile Feedback: 8/10 Fingers!This one is hard to grade, because in the end all gloves take away some of the natural feeling of your hands. Part of that is sizing, and if you get the right size on these gloves they will fit your hand and give you pretty much full function of the fingers. The biggest drawback though is that these are not touchscreen compatible and in the world we live in today that is a crucial feature for a lot of people.Miscellaneous: 9/10 Fingers!These gloves have several extra features that help make them pretty nice. The palm is padded with a thin but soft layer of foam, and cut from some pretty tough leather. The top is a thick mesh that provides both protections and breathability. There’s a pad on the inside of the pointer finger that prevents common blisters. As mentioned before it uses a thick rubber “pad” over the knuckles to provide protection, and it’s cut in just the right places to provide maximum flexibility. The wrist strap is made from the same rubber and is not coming off the glove. However, the velcro which is sewn to the rubber did come off on my last pair after about a year of use. Another negative is that while they provide some basic protection when wet, you don’t want to let these get soaked. If you do make sure to let them air dry as soon as possible and you’ll be alright. Otherwise the gloves will begin to wear out at an accelerated pace.Price: 10/10 Fingers!Relative to other similar types of gloves, these are dirt cheap. Similar gloves from Oakley can cost around $80. These are normally around $25 meaning you’re saving nearly 70% when you buy these gloves. Which also means you an afford to grab more than one pair and keep a set in the toolbox as well as with your shooting kit.OVERALL SCORE: 8.7/10 Fingers!Now I hear what you’re saying. If it’s 8.7 out of 10, how can they be the best work gloves ever? Well first, anything can improve, and second very rarely do you find the absolute perfect product. Compromises often have to made in the name of price, design, engineering limitations, etc. In my humble opinion these gloves find the perfect balance between all of those factors, and really only fall short in a couple minor aspects that can be remedied fairly quickly.
