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.
Mechanix Wear FastFit Core 3 Tactical Gloves - Covert Black
Universal durable gloves crafted to offer basic mechanical protection. Their snug fit ensures complete grip control without restricting precise movements. Perfect for law enforcement officers, military personnel, shooting sports enthusiasts, as well as for survival trips, auto repair tasks, DIY activities, and airsoft matches.
Breathable CoolPlus fabric, Rip-Stop weave, touchscreen compatibility, Lock Ring technology
The upper section of the gloves is crafted from breathable, lightweight CoolPlus fabric, effectively minimizing hand perspiration and ensuring optimal ventilation. The back of the fingers features Rip-Stop material, which resists tearing and fraying even when locally damaged, offering enhanced abrasion resistance. The grip area utilizes durable 0.6 mm thick synthetic leather, providing a strong grip and control, while allowing the use of touchscreen devices without needing to remove the gloves. The Lock Ring panel safeguards the critical area around the thumb, enhancing the durability of the construction and reducing seam damage.
Cuff with drawstring, 2-piece palm construction
A wide cuff equipped with a drawstring offers enhanced protection and ensures the gloves stay firmly on the wrist. The opening is quite spacious, facilitating easy putting on. The 2-piece inner palm design minimizes curling and gathering, enhancing the gloves' fit. The lower palm section includes ventilated padding, which boosts air circulation and guards against injuries.
ANSI/ISEA 105-3XX and EN388-2121X standards
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.
In the TDM test method (ISO 13997), letter designations are used, where A represents the lowest level of protection and F the highest.
The X designation means that the given parameter was not tested or is not applicable.

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!
-
The gloves are pleasant to use. While they do not seem very durable, they provide comfort when worn. I appreciate the presence of the cuff, which, thanks to its elasticity, makes putting on and taking off the gloves very easy – this is an important advantage for me given the way I use them.
-
These are my first gloves from Mechanix and now I understand why they are worth the price. They are really great. I always regretted spending money for the standard price, but after seeing them on sale I decided to try and I will definitely get other variants. They are definitely worth the investment because your hands are well-protected and working in them is comfortable—the gloves don't get in the way at all, quite the opposite—they actually help, which I especially appreciate when working without additional insurance. Next time I will choose a model with reinforced finger protection.
-
Very good gloves. They go great with the uniform. Perfect size. After getting wet, they dry instantly. I especially recommend them for drivers and weapons operators – they may not be suitable for very heavy work, but they are perfect for such uses.
-
After a month of use for work, after one wash the seams at the thumb came apart, and the tag came off. The gloves are also not waterproof. Despite that, they are really comfortable, so I recommend them in that regard.
-
Very good gloves for calm work at a campfire in the woods. I deduct one star because of too many visible logos – for me, it looks bad. It's a pity you can't buy Mechanix gloves with just one, less conspicuous logo – I'd be happy to pay extra for that.
-
I highly recommend this product. I bought it for my 14-year-old daughter for short trips to the forest as part of scouting. She chose the Multicam version in size S. They're a bit too big, but they're suitable for small survival outings. I personally use three different models from the Mechanix brand and I'm very satisfied with them.
-
The gloves are comfortable and have a great price, because 80 zloty for Mechanix is really an attractive offer. Sure, they're not suitable for heavy-duty work, but for lighter tasks, to avoid getting your hands dirty, they work excellently.
-
Great gloves in an interesting camouflage, I use them every day – both at work, during various tactical activities, and for fun like airsoft. They work excellently in every situation. For this price and from this manufacturer, they are really worth buying.
