The gloves present very good quality and look great, fitting the hand perfectly. They are not intended for severe frost, but will protect your hands well at around freezing temperatures. Very comfortable to wear, I was afraid they would be too small, but they are just right.

Mechanix to Mechanix I bought another pair of gloves from this brand, this time for winter. They are very well made and fit the hand perfectly. Warm, yet they provide good ventilation. They perfectly combine insulation with precise movement. Highly recommended. As always, the service and order processing time at Militaria are top notch.

High-quality and comfortable gloves, nicely insulated and in my opinion, suitable down to -5°C, and with active hand movement, down to -10°C. I recommend them to everyone as a fairly lightweight model of insulated gloves. Very comfortable, quality item, and in my view, there are no downsides.

The gloves are very durable and provide a lot of warmth. They fit the hands perfectly, do not restrict movement, and work great both during work and for everyday use on colder days. I highly recommend purchasing them.

I have a very positive opinion about the ColdWork winter series from Mechanix. I first encountered them in 2019, buying the Original series just after it was introduced. At first, I was skeptical because I had previously only used wool-leather gloves. However, the high-quality synthetic materials, such as thick fleece, Thinsulate, and Armortex, deserve recognition :D The gloves fit the hand very well, provide a good grip, and thermal comfort even down to -5 or -6 degrees (of course, depending on the humidity level). When you're not moving, your hands might get a bit cold, but while working, they retain warmth and insulate well. The newer version has improved fit and material thickness, which I consider a huge plus, and I can honestly recommend them. The only drawback is the weak clip for holding the gloves together – it breaks easily and is not very durable.

The best gloves I have had so far. Not only are they made of genuine leather, but they are also exceptionally warm. Size L fits me perfectly. You shouldn't go bushcrafting without something like this. Clear purchase recommendation from me. Top product!!

The gloves work perfectly during cold days. They offer excellent insulation and have the high quality typical for basic models. Notably, you can use touchscreens on the entire surface of the gloves, not just selected parts of the fingers. I definitely recommend them!

The gloves are comfortable and well made. However, they are not suitable for severe frost – even at temperatures close to zero, you can feel the cold in your fingers. They are also not suitable for very precise work, but they provide slightly better feel and precision than regular leather gloves with similar insulation, and are also more durable.

I do not use them as recommended by the manufacturer – I mostly wear them while driving a car and riding a bike. These are some of the most comfortable gloves I've had. The seams are barely noticeable, thermal insulation is good, though slightly weaker than in leather gloves with fur, but on the other hand, my hands do not sweat as much. The materials are pleasant, and the glove itself is very comfortable. During light rain, they get soaked quickly but keep hands dry for a long time. I've tested several Mechanix models in different sizes and liked them so much that I kept them all. It's worth ordering a few sizes – most models fit me in L, and the thin leather ones fit better in M. Now I understand the positive reviews.

Very comfortable gloves, with convenient strong Velcro adjustment at the wrist. They resist minor moisture and provide excellent grip. You can easily operate a smartphone and smartwatch with them. Fantastic gloves, warm but not too thick. Touchscreen operation also works flawlessly. Perfect for outdoor work in winter. I recommend them to everyone.

These are my next Mechanix gloves; this time I chose the insulated version because the mornings have become cold. I got used to the Velcro – it makes the glove fit better, doesn't snag on clothes, and makes it easier to put on a watch. The insulation protects well down to about -5°C, but for colder weather, it's better to get a thicker version. This is more of a transitional model for fall and winter. They block wind very well, but if you grab something wet, they'll soak through immediately, so they are not suitable around water. The insulation makes them a bit stiff at first, but they fit over time. The picture shows a blue fastening band, but in reality, they come with a red one – probably insignificant for some, but good to know. Since I started using Mechanix, I only wear their gloves. I already have a few models and really recommend them!

These are my first Mechanix gloves. First impression is very positive – they fit the hand perfectly, phone operation is flawless, they're warm and pleasant inside. I'm waiting for worse weather to test them further!

Comfortable, well-made gloves, as described. They work great in low temperatures and allow for using touchscreens.

The gloves are really comfortable and allow for freedom of movement. The 3M insulation provides thermal comfort down to around -5°C; after that, if you’re not highly active, it starts to get cold.

This model of Mechanix gloves works great for winter tasks, though they get soaked easily, so they're not the best for snow. A longer cuff would be useful.
