I use these gloves when photographing nature. They are thin and flexible enough to operate the camera without any problems, even the smallest buttons, and the touchscreen works flawlessly. The anti-slip elements on the inside are also a plus. At low temperatures, they can feel chilly, so I recommend considering a thicker model or using hand warmers as well (I haven't tried that myself). It's a pity that the wrist part isn't slightly longer. I have very small hands, yet the XS size was too tight – after exchanging them for size S, they fit perfectly. It's worth keeping this in mind when purchasing.

The gloves are comfortable and warm and do an excellent job. They are thin enough not to affect dexterity almost at all, but the thumbs are slightly wide, which sometimes makes it difficult to use the phone. I have worn them almost daily for a month and I am very satisfied with them. I recommend them.

The gloves quickly wore out during physical work, with scuffs and holes appearing almost immediately, so their durability is very low. Cheaper fabric gloves perform no worse. They can be used for a short time in mild cold, but I hoped that for 80/130 PLN they would last longer. After a week or two, they're only good for throwing away, which really disappointed me. I'm now looking for more durable gloves or I will return to those made of goatskin for 10 PLN. I do not recommend this product at this price. If you need gloves for regular winter outings, there are cheaper and better options in other stores. The only plus is the appropriate size.

Mechanix Wear ColdWork Base Layer - Covert tactical gloves are just the kind of gloves I needed. They work well in temperatures around zero, and also in light frost, although only for a certain time. They are not suitable for working outdoors for many hours. However, for quick snow removal from the car or short walks, they are sufficient. The inner layer really makes it easier to grip various objects. Unfortunately, in my case, the inner layer started to come unstuck in one glove.

The gloves are carefully made, comfortable and lightweight, but they are mostly suitable for autumn or temperatures around zero degrees Celsius; however, they won't be suitable for this year's winter. If used as a first layer, it may be difficult to put another pair of gloves on top, because the rubberised surfaces improve grip but can make it harder for the material of one glove to slide over the other.

Great gloves for autumn and early winter. Thanks to the proper material and its thickness, your hands stay warm and you can still perform precise tasks. The material itself is durable; they proved themselves during several visits to the shooting range.

The gloves are comfortable and provide good warmth, but the thumbs are too long for me. The other fingers fit perfectly, but there is about 5 mm of slack at the thumbs, which makes it difficult to use a phone.

The fleece gloves are very carefully sewn. They work better on cooler days than in severe frosts (unless, as the name suggests, you use them as an extra layer). The grip-enhancing coating clearly increases their practicality compared to standard fleece models. The size is appropriate.

Good gloves made from quality materials, pleasant to the touch, with a decent grip on the palm. They are not very warm, but with active use and fine motor skills, they can be suitable for temperatures as low as -2°C at most.

On the plus side, the material is pleasant to the touch and has a good fit (although the thumb could be a bit shorter – tip: if you are unsure about the size, it's better to choose the smaller one, because according to the size chart I was between S and M, and S turned out to be spot on), as well as hydrophobic properties. The downside is that the material is breathable – already at temperatures below 8°C you can feel the chill while walking, and below 5°C your little finger gets cold, and at temperatures below zero I don't wear them at all. I deduct a star for too many logos on the product – for me, that's a poor solution. It's a pity you can't buy Mechanix with just one, subtle logo – I would be willing to pay extra for that.

Great gloves. They are quite warm, although they won't be suitable for extreme cold. They are comfortable and you can easily do various tasks while wearing them. Moisture does not affect them.

The gloves are solidly made, comfortable, and have a good grip – typical for Mechanix. However, size L could have longer fingers and in low temperatures the cold easily penetrates inside, so without an additional layer it can get cold.

I bought an extra copy because the price was really attractive. Both the materials and the quality of workmanship are excellent – everything is at a very high level. I am very pleased with this purchase ;)

As with all Mechanix, excellent quality, solid stitching, comfortable to wear and everything else is a plus. Unfortunately, they also have downsides: they let the cold in, so in summer they’ll probably be too warm, and in winter they’re better as an underglove rather than to be worn alone.

I'm torn between giving it 4 or 5 stars, but for now I’m giving it 5, because the product is very well made. The gloves are very comfortable and sewn perfectly. However, I do have some concerns about the durability of the silicone inserts that improve the grip – they work excellently, maybe even too well, because while driving, for example, they stick to the steering wheel a bit too much and there’s not enough slip :P. If there’s a promotion, in my opinion it's worth considering this product as a basic layer for colder days.
