These are very successful tactical gloves with partially exposed fingers. They are comfortable to use while handling firearms. I bought them at a great sale on Militaria.pl, and for just under 60 PLN, this is truly an excellent purchase. In my opinion, this is a solid product that performs its function well.
Mechanix Wear M-Pact Core 3 Tactical Gloves - Wolf Grey
Tactical gloves in Wolf Grey color, designed for basic mechanical hand protection. With precise fit, they provide full grip control and allow for precise actions. Suitable for uniformed services, military personnel, sport shooting enthusiasts, as well as for survival expeditions, automotive workshop tasks, DIY projects, or airsoft games.
Synthetic leather, Rip-Stop weave, touchscreen operation
The gloves are made of plastic and synthetic leather, ensuring a secure grip in various conditions. The upper part of the gloves is made of waterproof material with a Rip-Stop weave, preventing fraying and tearing of the material upon local damage and increasing abrasion resistance. The velcro cuff closure allows for individual fit. The palm section made of durable 0.8 mm synthetic leather ensures a stable grip and control, allowing for touchscreen operation without removing the gloves. The Lock Ring panel protects the sensitive area at the thumb, increasing the durability of the construction and reducing seams prone to damage. Ribbed panels on the index finger and thumb enhance the durability of these areas, improving grip precision.
TPR panels, impact-absorbing inserts, AirHammer padding
The external side of the gloves features durable TPR panels (Thermal Plastic Rubber compliant with EN 13594 standard) protecting hands from abrasions and impacts, making them an excellent choice for building work and CQB conditions. The segmented panels facilitate finger bending. The palm side of the gloves is equipped with D3O inserts absorbing impact energy and vibrations around the palm area. The AirHammer padding additionally protects the sides of the hands from injuries.
ANSI/ISEA 105-3XX and EN388-2121XP standards
The gloves meet the American protective standard ANSI/ISEA 105 at level 3XX in terms of cut, abrasion, and puncture resistance, which means:
- 3: abrasion resistance (scale from 1 to 6)
- X: cut resistance (scale from A1 to A9)
- X: puncture resistance (scale from 0 to 5)
The gloves meet the protective standard EN388 at level 2121XP for mechanical hazard resistance, which means:
- 2: abrasion resistance (scale 0–4)
- 1: blade cut resistance (scale 0–5)
- 2: tear resistance (scale 0–4)
- 1: puncture resistance (scale 0–4)
- X: cut resistance – TDM test (ISO 13997) (scale A–F)
- P: impact protection (test passed)
In the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard, abrasion resistance is rated on a scale from 1 to 6 and refers to the number of cycles a 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 pierce the glove surface with a sharp probe (not applicable to needle punctures).
The scales defined in the EN388 standard indicate the level of glove protection: a value of 0 means no protection, while the highest values (4, 5) indicate the maximum resistance level.
In the TDM test method (ISO 13997), letter designations are used, where A represents the lowest level of protection and F the highest.
The symbol X indicates that the parameter was not tested or is not applicable. The symbol P indicates that the glove meets the requirements for impact protection.

Rip-Stop weave protects the fabric from abrasions and tears. It is characterized by additional threads woven in at regular intervals, forming a mesh-like pattern. It provides high strength to the fabric, increases resistance to mechanical damage, especially tears.
TPR, or thermoplastic rubbeTPR, or thermoplastic rubber, is a material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. It is flexible and durable, and is often used in the manufacture of tool handles, gaskets, footwear, and many other products, as it provides comfort, good grip and wear resistance.r, is a type of synthetic material that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. TPR is characterized by its flexibility and abrasion resistance.
D3O is a modern material with intelligent molecules that move freely during normal use. However, at the moment of impact, they fuse together, absorbing and dispersing energy, then rapidly return to an elastic state. As a result, the material effectively reduces vibration, protects hands from injury and reduces hand strain while working.

I buy them once a year, usually in winter, for about 50 zlotys. I use them, which may be surprising, during mountain bike rides. They do not last the whole season, but they are really used intensively. From my side, they are definitely worth recommending.
-
Mechanix is considered a benchmark brand for a reason – they are affordable, durable, and in this version (full-fingered) they work great when someone needs maximum precision for delicate tasks.
-
I bought them during a promotion for 60 PLN and that fact alone deserves 5 stars. The gloves are great, and the comfort, grip, and breathability are really excellent here.
-
The gloves are aesthetic and practical. I have been using them for some time and I am completely satisfied. The finger holes work well, allowing for better handling.
-
At first I was very pleased with the purchase because I had heard a lot of good things about this brand, but after a few uses the seams at the thumbs started coming apart and the glove started getting more and more damaged.
-
Solidly made and extremely functional gloves. I especially appreciate the openings for three fingers, which make precise movements easier, as well as the foam that effectively protects the hand from injuries. I definitely recommend them!
-
The Mechanix M-Pact gloves are extremely comfortable. The leather on the gripping part is high quality, and the upper panels effectively protect the hands. In my opinion, the fingers could be a bit longer, even though my hands aren't large. Overall, I rate these gloves very highly – a 5.
-
Mechanix Wear M-Pact Partial Finger Coyote gloves are another pair from this brand that I chose – and they definitely won't be the last. I decided on this model for the summer. The gloves are well made, and the inside material is very functional both to the touch and in color – stains are hardly visible. The outer material isn't your typical mesh or perforated netting, which the manufacturer's description didn't mention. It consists of several layers, and the outermost one is semi-transparent. I definitely recommend them!
-
Mechanix M-Pact gloves are characterized by high durability. The leather on the palm is of good quality, and the protective panels on the back effectively protect your hands. Personally, I prefer the fingerless version—they are much more comfortable to me because they are not as stiff. This is already the fourth set I have bought from Mechanix, and I can recommend the Mechanix Original model if someone cares about more comfortable (less armored) gloves.
-
Mechanix Wear M-Pact Partial Finger Coyote gloves perfectly protect your hands during demanding tasks – they have strong reinforcements and good cushioning, which protects against injuries, abrasions, and shocks. The exposed parts of the fingers provide very good control and feel of tools and equipment. The material fits the hand perfectly, and the coyote color is practical in the field. This is an excellent option for those looking for comfortable, durable, and practical tactical gloves.
-
The gloves have a thick layer, so if someone needs more precision when using the phone or performing similar activities, the fingerless version will work better. I’ve been using them for a year and they are still in good condition, and they have protected my hands many times during falls.
-
The gloves are great! The material feels pleasant to the touch, the color is vibrant, and the gloves themselves are very durable and don't fade even after washing. The cutouts for the index and middle fingers are a nice feature, making it easier to use a trigger or a smartphone.
-
They're alright, your hands don't sweat much in them. The panels slightly restrict freedom of movement. The Velcro fastener holds firmly, and the gloves themselves seem very durable, although they're not indestructible.
-
Overall it's fine, although I was expecting a bit higher quality. The outer panels are quite breathable, and the gloves are okay too, but in my opinion, they should have cutouts on the fingers to make them easier to bend.
