Mechanix Wear ColdWork Original Gloves - Covert

Insulated gloves crafted for usage in chilly conditions. They provide excellent protection against frost and safeguard hands from abrasions and cuts. The snug fit ensures complete grip control without compromising the ability to handle precision tasks. Ideal for survival adventures, workshop projects, DIY activities, as well as ASG and paintball games.

Durable softshell, Thinsulate Eco 60 g insulation, protective panels

The gloves utilize softshell fabric, paired with a 60g layer of Thinsulate Eco insulation, ensuring superb warmth preservation while allowing free movement. Enhanced with protective panels on the inside of the palm, these gloves offer increased friction resistance.

Durable synthetic leather, touchscreen support

The gripping surface is crafted from durable synthetic leather, ensuring precise handling. Armortex material reinforces the thumb, offering extra protection. The gloves' unique design allows touchscreen devices to be operated without needing to remove them.

Comfortable velcro closure, anatomical stitching, nylon loops

The gloves are designed with a thermoplastic rubber (TPR) closure and Velcro for an accurate fit around the wrist. The stitching is aligned with the hand's anatomical structure, ensuring comfort during wear. Additionally, the model includes nylon loops for convenient hanging.

EN388-2112X and EN511-11X standards

The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 2112X in terms of mechanical hazard resistance, which means:

  • 2: abrasion resistance (scale 0–4)
  • 1: cut resistance (scale 0–5)
  • 1: tear resistance (scale 0–4)
  • 2: puncture resistance (scale 0–4)
  • X: cut resistance – TDM test (ISO 13997) (scale A–F)

Cold protection complies with the EN511 standard at level 11X, which means:

  • 1: resistance to convective cold (scale 0–4)
  • 1: resistance to contact cold (scale 0–4)
  • X: resistance to water penetration (0 or 1)

The scales used in the EN388 and EN511 standards define the level of glove protection: a value of 0 means no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum level of resistance. For water penetration resistance: 0 means penetration, 1 means no penetration.

In the TDM (ISO 13997) test, alphabetical markings are used, where A indicates the lowest protection and F the highest.

The designation X indicates that the parameter was not tested or is not applicable.

The gloves provide a confident grip and freedom of movement, making them suitable both for everyday wear and outdoor work or specialist activities, such as bushcraft or shooting.

    The Mechanix Wear - ColdWork Original gloves are perfect for any situation, especially in cold temperatures. Whether for work or leisure activities, your hands never get cold or wet.

    The Mechanix Wear ColdWork Original Black/Grey gloves do their job very well, especially on colder days. They are comfortable, fit well on the hands, and provide an appropriate level of protection while working. Despite their more robust construction, they do not restrict movement excessively, so various tasks can be performed comfortably while wearing them. Even after a longer period of use, I am still very satisfied with them and can recommend them without hesitation.

    In my opinion, these gloves work best in temperatures from 5 to 0 degrees. When it's freezing, your hands get a bit cold, but I’m not lowering my rating because of that, since it’s simply impossible to make perfect gloves for every kind of weather. They’re comfortable, solidly made, and nice on the inside. They provide better feel than leather or wool gloves, and you can also use a phone quite well while wearing them.

    They are excellent. After a few weeks of use, I can say that during intense movement or light work, for example shoveling snow in temperatures from -6 to -8, they protect the hands well and provide adequate warmth and comfort.

    At temperatures of -15/-10 degrees, the gloves did not keep my hands warm at all, even while continuously moving. At around -5 degrees, it was barely possible. They also don't work well when handling objects, as they lack a good grip. Not suitable for driving either. The only advantage is the ability to operate touch screens, but that's not what I expect from gloves.

    They are warm, comfortable, and sturdy. I ordered them for winter walks with my dog and for hiking in the forest with a backpack. They are comfortable down to -6°C. They make handling the phone and accessories easier. However, they will not work during rain or wet snow, and are also not suitable for heavy physical work as work gloves. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

    Very good value for money, the gloves keep you warm in normal cold weather (not for extreme cold). They are well sized, easy to put on and take off. The materials seem to be of good quality; we'll see how they hold up over time.

    The gloves are well made, comfortable, and provide warmth, though they stop protecting when the temperature drops below -15 degrees. I first bought the L size model, then tried XL hoping they'd be better for very cold weather, but it turned out the right thumb in XL is too tight. So I recommend visiting a store and trying on different pairs before buying, as the sizing and stitching are not precise. The inside of the palm is covered with a material that ensures good grip, sufficient for work outdoors or handling equipment. Time will tell how long they last – in other gloves from this company this material wore out, but after 2 months I don't see any signs of wear. Touchscreen support works, though I can't say how useful it is – typing in gloves is very difficult.

    Good gloves that I bought for driving on cold days. They do their job very well. However, when the temperature outside is below zero, they are not sufficient and my hands get cold.

    After a few weeks of using these gloves, I can say that during higher physical activity or light work, like shoveling snow at -6/-8 degrees Celsius, they provide good protection and warmth for your hands. However, when I stop moving or the exertion ends, they quickly turn out to be not warm enough, and my hands start to get cold. You also have to remember that resistance to cold is individual, just like blood circulation and each person's ability to maintain warmth in hands and feet in freezing conditions. That's why the feeling of warmth from gloves is a very subjective matter, depending on the situation and not just the temperature.

    They are short, but if I intend to use the watch for navigation, they have to be like that. They are rather suitable for everyday use, for walks, rather than for more intense work. At -5 degrees it was comfortable, but at -10 degrees definitely not.

    I am very disappointed with the quality of Mechanix gloves. After just one day of use, the seams started to come apart and the fleece quickly became pilled. I used the gloves exclusively for operating heavy equipment, so they were not heavily abused, yet they turned out to be not very durable. They are only suitable for walks without touching anything – poor grip and uncomfortable to work in. The heating function at –3°C didn’t work at all, as my hands were cold. In summary: poor quality, low durability, and ineffective heating – I do not recommend these gloves for work or colder days.

    The insulated version of Mechanix gloves is basically no different from the standard ones – they work great for light tasks where good dexterity is important. Unfortunately, for heavier work, they wear out quickly and are not very long, so they don't protect the wrist well.

    Gloves fit well. I am between sizes so I undersized due to dexterity preferences. It was a little short but long jacket sleeves could cover it. It does not keep my hands warm below 0°C but it's fairly decent in milder weather. Sufficient dexterity to work zips.

    Very good gloves, solidly made, they offer appropriate thermal insulation in relation to their thickness. They provide good feel and effectively protect against cold. They are so satisfactory that I decided to buy a second pair in the fast fit variant.
