On the plus side, I appreciate the pleasant-to-the-touch material and good fit (although the thumb could be a bit shorter – tip: if you have doubts about the size, it's better to choose a smaller one, because according to the size chart I was between S and M, and S turned out to be a perfect fit), as well as the hydrophobic properties. The downside is that the material is breathable – already at temperatures below 8°C during a walk you can feel the chill, below 5°C it gets cold in the pinky, and at temperatures below zero I don't wear them at all. I subtract a star for the excessive number of logos on the product – for me it's a poor solution. It's a shame that you can't buy Mechanix gloves 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 very severe frosts. They are comfortable and you can easily do various tasks in them. Moisture doesn't affect them.
-
The gloves are well-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 extra layer, it can be cold.
-
I bought an extra copy because the price was really attractive. Both the materials and the quality of workmanship are excellent – everything is of a very high standard. I am very satisfied with this purchase ;)
-
As always with Mechanix – excellent quality, solid stitching, comfort of wearing, and everything else is a plus. Unfortunately, they also have drawbacks: they let the cold through, so in summer they will probably be too warm, and in winter they are better suited as liner gloves rather than for wearing alone.

I'm debating between a 4 and 5 star rating, but for now, I’ll give it 5 because the product is very well made. The gloves are very comfortable and perfectly tailored. However, I do have some concerns about the durability of the silicone inserts that improve grip—they work excellently, almost too well, because, for example, when driving, they stick to the steering wheel too much and lack slip :P. If there’s a promotion, in my opinion, it’s worth considering this product as a base layer for colder days.
-
The gloves are very comfortable and keep the warmth well. I was worried about the size and fit, whether they would slip off, but they turned out great. They fit like a second skin. I definitely recommend both these gloves and the store.
-
Very good gloves – they look great, perfect as a first layer or additional insulation for other gloves. The materials and craftsmanship are of high quality. The price is reasonable.
-
The gloves work great as a first layer; the material is quite thin, typical for powerstretch – very good, they can be an alternative to Helikon Outback gloves.
-
Very good gloves. I bought them for colder days and they work great at temperatures close to zero or a bit lower. For more severe cold, I recommend choosing something more for skiing or treating these as an inner layer and putting another pair of gloves on top. They fit the hand very well – I chose size L according to the chart and it fits perfectly. The non-slip interior and touchscreen compatibility work flawlessly. I recommend them!
-
The gloves are incredibly comfortable and warm, and the seams are carefully made and practically unnoticeable. Thanks to them, you can easily use your phone even on very cold days, since you don't have to take them off. Additionally, they allow for precise grip when picking up various objects or pulling things out of your pocket. I definitely recommend them – excellent product quality.
-
I want to use these gloves around freezing as an "inner glove/baselayer" for my Gore Windstopper cycling gloves, and they're perfect for that. They fit snugly and are neither too thick nor too thin. According to the size chart, I should take (M), but then the fingers were clearly too long and the glove was overall too loose. The (S) fits like a glove. Coyote is darker than in the picture, but still looks good!
-
I am lowering the rating by one star because: - the thumb is too long - they don't provide protection against cold when you're not moving On the positive side: + they have a secure grip, the rubber holds well + can be used daily, the logo is discreet + solid material, you can feel a thin fleece inside, but at -3°C after 10 minutes my hands freeze
-
I bought these gloves with dog walks in mind, so I wanted them to be non-slip – and indeed, they do this job well, even when the leash is wet and rubberized, it stays securely in my hand. They also survived a rainy walk without getting soaked through. They are comfortable to wear, though the thumb is a bit too long, but it doesn't significantly affect the comfort of use.
-
The gloves are comfortable and work well for autumn. They are made of fleece, so they don't protect very well against strong wind. Nevertheless, I am satisfied with the purchase. Unfortunately, after just one day of use, the seam on the side of the finger came apart. I bought them at the regular price (129.99 PLN), but after the discount, the Militaria store refunded me the difference. That was very kind of them, thank you.
