After two years of use (meaning two seasons from October to April), I'm starting another cooler period with them. I give points for the design and fairly comfortable weapon handling – you can feel the controls and trigger, although I wouldn't recommend them for handguns. In warmer conditions, hands are warm, but when the temperature drops below zero, your hands get cold. In the rain, they absorb water almost like a sponge. The Velcro is the biggest downside – it's large, stiff, stops working after a dozen uses, and easily detaches from the sleeve, which is very bothersome at the wrist. You can try to hold it in place with a sweatshirt or jacket cuff, but the Velcro can still come loose and then sticks out, making use difficult. I probably won't decide to buy them again.

Warm in tough conditions and fit the hand very well, but the velcro stops working quickly – after two weeks of intensive use it no longer holds. As for moisture resistance, they handle light rain, but longer work with wet tools makes them soak through.
-
Very warm gloves with a nice camouflage – sometimes it's really hard to notice they're on your hands! Very solidly made. Perfect for the forest, skiing, or the ice rink. I recommend them.
-
I bought them last fall, used them a bit, and they are definitely not suitable for winter. They work best in the fall or spring. The insulation is too little for low temperatures. As tactical gloves they're fine, but definitely not for winter.
-
For the first time I was disappointed with the Militaria store. According to the size chart, I chose L/XL, but in reality M would have fit. The gloves turned out to be too large, completely uncomfortable and impractical. After an hour walk at -3°C, my hands remained cold. After several days of testing, they were never warm. Ordinary winter gloves for 50 PLN are better. I do not recommend them.
-
As always, good quality for the Mechanix brand. The gloves are carefully made from solid materials. A well-matched size guarantees a secure grip. 40 g insulation ensures warmth, and the outer material protects against moisture.
-
Decent, fairly warm gloves. Comfortable and suitable for various jobs, but probably not for shooting. However, I think they're fine for other purposes.
-
Good product, comfortable to wear, work very well with touch screens, provide warmth, and are made very solidly – I am very satisfied. Thank you and I recommend the store.
-
In my opinion, this is the least refined Mechanix model – the sizing runs small, I usually take 9L but this time I had to exchange for 10XL, which fits, but the fingers are too long. Putting them on is difficult, especially the little finger, because the lining slides out. Other than that, they are warm and almost waterproof.
-
Good quality product. The gloves are warm, fairly thick, but it's possible to shoot in them, although loading ammunition is more difficult. Handling guns like Grot or Beryl is doable, but with Wis it can be harder; it's difficult to release the decocker even without gloves. They survived 6 hours in the rain. I especially recommend this Mechanix model.
-
Tested for several days during field training at temperatures down to -5°C. They keep hands warm, are resistant to snow, and work very well for rope work or lifting heavy objects. Nothing chafes or pinches.
-
Nice, fairly warm, and comfortable. I had big problems finding the right size, and when I finally found ones that fit in width, the fingers were too long. These gloves are probably best suited for pianists.
-
The gloves are warm and comfortable, and have non-slip inserts that work well even when wet. So far, they have not soaked through during work in the rain and snow.
-
Solid and fairly warm gloves. After a whole day working in the snow and clearing the car, they did not get wet. Wet on the outside, but dry and warm inside. The wrist velcro is very practical. Phone operation works flawlessly. I recommend them.
-
Warm and comfortable. Tested at a minimum temperature of -8 / -10°C. I recommend them for walks and light work, they are perfect for this purpose. A plus is also the good velcro.
