The gloves are very comfortable for everyday use – they're light, fit the hand well, and are easy to put on thanks to the elastic cuff. The materials are a plus, providing a secure grip and allowing for precise work, even on a phone without taking them off. They work well both at the shooting range, in the field, and during garage work. It's important to remember that they're better suited for light work – they may wear out more quickly during heavy-duty tasks. For this price, however, they are a really cost-effective option and can be easily recommended.
Mechanix Wear FastFit Core 3 Tactical Gloves - Black
Universal durable gloves crafted to deliver fundamental mechanical protection. Their snug fit guarantees complete grip control without restricting precision movements. Perfect for law enforcement officers, military personnel, shooting sports enthusiasts, along with survival expeditions, car repairs, DIY endeavors, and airsoft activities.
Breathable CoolPlus fabric, Rip-Stop weave, touchscreen compatibility, Lock Ring technology
The gloves' upper section is crafted from breathable and lightweight CoolPlus fabric, which minimizes hand perspiration and ensures excellent ventilation. The material on the back of the fingers features Rip-Stop fabric, designed to resist tearing and fraying, even after localized damage, and offers enhanced abrasion resistance. In the grip area, the sturdy 0.6 mm thick synthetic leather ensures a secure grasp and control, while allowing the operation of touchscreen devices without the need to remove the gloves. The Lock Ring panel fortifies the critical area around the thumb, boosting construction durability and minimizing seam damage.
Cuff with drawstring, 2-piece palm construction
A wide cuff equipped with a drawstring ensures extra protection and secures the gloves firmly around the wrist. The opening is exceptionally wide, facilitating easy putting on of the gloves. The 2-piece inner palm minimizes curling and bunching, enhancing the gloves' fit. The lower palm section incorporates ventilated padding to boost air circulation and safeguard against injuries.
EN388-2121X Protection standard
The gloves meet the American safety standard ANSI/ISEA 105 level 3XX in terms of cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance, which means:
- 3: abrasion resistance (on a scale from 1 to 6)
- X: cut resistance (on a scale from A1 to A9)
- X: puncture resistance (on a scale from 0 to 5)
The gloves meet the safety standard EN388 level 2121X in terms of mechanical performance, which means:
- 2: abrasion resistance (on a scale from 0 to 4)
- 1: cut resistance (on a scale from 0 to 5)
- 2: tear resistance (on a scale from 0 to 4)
- 1: puncture resistance (on a scale from 0 to 4)
- X: cut resistance - TDM test (ISO 13997) (on a scale A-F)
In the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is rated on a scale from 1 to 6 and refers to the number of cycles the 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 puncture the glove surface with a sharp spike (not applicable to needle punctures).
The scales provided in the EN388 standard indicate the level of protection of the gloves: a value of 0 means no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum level of resistance.
The X designation means that the given parameter was not tested or is not applicable.

Apart from getting the wrong colour and the updated version they're a solid choice for a basic glove. I don't mind the darker brown rather than coyote but it was a surprise. I've used FastFit as my "go too glove" for many years and they usually wear out in a season (bushcrafting/hiking/dog sports). Fair prize for a fair product.
-
The gloves are comfortable and fit quite well on the hands. As for durability, it all depends on our expectations. They're great for the shooting range, but I wouldn't choose them for service because they're too thin and prone to puncture. However, the price is also very affordable.
-
These gloves work great during bushcraft or similar activities, mainly thanks to the durable artificial leather on the inner side. However, it's a pity that real leather was not used. The outer material does not provide good ventilation, even on hot days, and does not protect against sparking or similar hazards. However, they fit the hand very well and are comfortable to wear.
-
Very nice, lightweight glove. I use a total of five pairs in different colors and am very satisfied with each one. They fit very well and are meaningfully compatible with touch displays. For harsh winters, they are rather unsuitable, but otherwise, they are really great gloves with an excellent price-performance ratio.
-
Mechanix is synonymous with high quality – the company produces solid, durable gloves that work great both at the shooting range and during tactical operations. The material is resistant and dries quickly. I highly recommend them.
-
These are my first gloves, but I am somewhat disappointed; they don't fit perfectly even though the size is correct. The absence of velcro is also a letdown, and it feels like they might slip off. I think they won't last long.
-
They look great, and are very easy to put on and take off. However, I don't recommend them for heavier tasks. I used them for about a month and a half while working on furniture delivery, and unfortunately holes appeared in five fingers. I recommend them rather for lighter duties.
-
The shoes fit perfectly to the foot, the color matches my expectations, and kept in a fanny pack they work perfectly as part of my gear. At this promotional price, they are definitely worth buying. I highly recommend this model.
-
Putting on and taking off these shoes is extremely easy. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship immediately impresses and inspires confidence. I already own other shoes from this brand, but I tried the FastFit model for the first time, and from now on I will only buy this version because they are exceptionally comfortable.
-
In my opinion, these gloves work great for basic tasks at a forest campsite, provide a bit of warmth in winter, and their material allows you to use a touchscreen with any finger, not just the thumb and index finger — though typing in them is rather out of the question.
-
Mechanix Wear FastFit in Olive Drab are comfortable, fairly thin gloves. They provide a good grip, but I wouldn't choose them for handling firearms.
-
For the first time, I decided to buy Mechanix gloves (previously, I read opinions about their durability-to-price ratio), choosing them along with the Original model. Interestingly, although they are thinner than the Original, they performed better at protecting my hands from the cold while walking my dog at -5°C.
-
This is already the third pair of gloves of this type that I have bought. They work great for moderate outdoor activities, such as walking the dog or hiking in the forest. I definitely recommend them!
-
Great gloves. This is already my second purchase of this pair. The weapon stays stable in them, yet they allow for precise actions. Of course, nothing replaces bare hands, but where hand protection is necessary, these gloves are worth their price. I definitely recommend them!
