I buy them once a year, usually in winter, for about 50 zlotys. I use them, which may be surprising, during mountain bike rides. They do not last the whole season, but they are really used intensively. From my point of view, they are definitely worth recommending.
Mechanix Wear M-Pact Core 3 Tactical Gloves - Wolf Grey
Tactical gloves in Wolf Grey colour, designed for basic mechanical hand protection. With a precise fit, they ensure full grip control and allow for precise actions. They are suitable for uniformed services personnel, military, sport shooting enthusiasts, as well as for survival expeditions, car workshop tasks, DIY projects, or airsoft games.
Synthetic leather, Rip-Stop weave, touchscreen compatibility
The gloves are made of plastic and synthetic leather, ensuring a secure grip in various conditions. The upper part of the gloves is made of waterproof Rip-Stop weave material, which prevents fabric unravelling and fraying upon local damage and increases abrasion resistance. Velcro cuff closure facilitates individual fit. The gripping part, made of durable 0.8 mm thick synthetic leather, provides stable grip and control, enabling touchscreen device operation without removing the gloves. The Lock Ring panel protects the sensitive thumb area, increasing construction durability and limiting seams exposed to damage. Ribbed panels on the index finger and thumb enhance the durability of these areas, improving grip precision.
TPR panels, impact-absorbing inserts, AirHammer padding
On the outer side of the gloves, durable TPR (Thermal Plastic Rubber) panels protect hands from abrasions and impacts, making them an excellent choice for building operations and CQB conditions. Segmented panels facilitate finger bending. The underside of the gloves is equipped with D3O inserts absorbing impact energy and vibrations around the palm area. The AirHammer padding further protects the sides of the hands from injuries.
ANSI/ISEA 105-3XX and EN388-2121XP standards
The gloves meet the American protective standard ANSI/ISEA 105 at level 3XX in terms of cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance, which means:
- 3: abrasion resistance (scale from 1 to 6)
- X: cut resistance (scale from A1 to A9)
- X: puncture resistance (scale from 0 to 5)
The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 2121XP for mechanical hazard resistance, which means:
- 2: abrasion resistance (scale 0–4)
- 1: blade cut resistance (scale 0–5)
- 2: tear resistance (scale 0–4)
- 1: puncture resistance (scale 0–4)
- X: cut resistance – TDM test (ISO 13997) (scale A–F)
- P: impact protection (test passed)
In the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is rated on a scale from 1 to 6 and refers to the number of cycles a material can withstand before wearing out. Cut resistance is classified on a scale from A1 to A9 (from the lowest to the highest level of protection). Puncture resistance is rated on a scale from 0 to 5 and indicates the force required to pierce the glove surface with a sharp probe (not applicable to needle punctures).
The scales defined in the EN388 standard indicate the level of glove protection: a value of 0 means no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum resistance level.
In the TDM test method (ISO 13997), letter designations are used, where A represents the lowest level of protection and F the highest.
The symbol X indicates that the parameter was not tested or is not applicable. The symbol P indicates that the glove meets the requirements for impact protection.

Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.
TPR, or thermoplastic rubbeTPR, or thermoplastic rubber, is a material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. It is flexible and durable, and is often used in the manufacture of tool handles, gaskets, footwear, and many other products, as it provides comfort, good grip and wear resistance.r, is a type of synthetic material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. TPR is characterized by its flexibility and abrasion resistance.
D3O is a modern material with intelligent molecules that move freely during normal use. However, at the moment of impact, they fuse together, absorbing and dispersing energy, then rapidly return to an elastic state. As a result, the material effectively reduces vibration, protects hands from injury and reduces hand strain while working.

Mechanix is considered a benchmark brand for a reason – they are inexpensive, durable, and in this variant (with full fingers) they work excellently when someone needs maximum precision for delicate tasks.
-
I bought them during a promotion for 60 PLN and that alone deserves 5 stars. The gloves are great, and the comfort, grip, and breathability are truly excellent.
-
The gloves are aesthetic and practical. I've been using them for some time now and I'm completely satisfied. The finger holes work well and allow for better handling.
-
At first I was very pleased with the purchase, as I had heard many good things about this brand, but after a few uses the seams at the thumbs started to come apart and the glove began to deteriorate more and more.
-
Well-made and extremely functional gloves. I particularly appreciate the openings for three fingers, which make precise movements easier, as well as the foam that effectively protects the hand from injuries. I definitely recommend them!
-
The Mechanix M-Pact gloves are extremely comfortable. The leather on the gripping part is of high quality, and the upper panels provide effective protection for the hands. In my opinion, the fingers could be a bit longer, even though my hands aren't large. Overall, I rate these gloves very highly – 5 out of 5.
-
Mechanix Wear M-Pact Partial Finger Coyote are another pair of gloves from this brand that I have chosen – and they certainly won't be the last. I picked this model for summer. The gloves are well made, and the inner material, both in feel and colour, is very practical – dirt is not easily noticeable. The outer material is not a typical mesh or perforated fabric, which wasn't described by the manufacturer. It consists of several layers, with the outermost being semi-transparent. I highly recommend them!
-
Mechanix M-Pact gloves are characterised by high durability. The leather in the palm is of good quality, and the protective panels on the back effectively protect your hands. Personally, I prefer the version with exposed fingers, as I find them much more comfortable because they are not as stiff. This is already the fourth set I have bought from Mechanix, and I can recommend the Mechanix Original model if someone wants more comfortable (less armoured) gloves.
-
The Mechanix Wear M-Pact Partial Finger Coyote gloves provide excellent hand protection during demanding tasks – they feature strong reinforcements and good cushioning, which protects against injuries, abrasions, and shocks. The open finger parts provide very good control and feel of tools and equipment. The material fits the hand perfectly, and the coyote colour is practical in the field. It is an excellent option for those looking for comfortable, durable, and practical tactical gloves.
-
The gloves have a thick layer, so if someone requires more precision when using a phone or doing similar tasks, the fingerless version will work better. I have been using them for a year and they are still in good condition. They have protected my hands many times during falls.
-
The gloves are great! The material is pleasant to the touch, the colour is vibrant, and the gloves themselves are very durable and don't fade even after washing. A nice feature are the openings for the index and middle fingers, which make it easier to operate the trigger or a smartphone.
-
They are fine, your hands don't get very sweaty in them. The panels slightly restrict freedom of movement. The Velcro holds firmly, and the gloves themselves seem very durable, although they are not indestructible.
-
Overall it's fine, although I was hoping for slightly better quality. The panels on the outside are quite breathable, the gloves are also okay, but in my opinion, they should have gaps at the fingers to make it easier to bend them.
-
The Coyote-coloured gloves are extremely comfortable and carefully sewn. They effectively protect your hands, and thanks to the open fingers, they allow free movement. They are made of durable material and have a stable grip, making them perfect for both work and outdoor activities. I highly recommend them!
