Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

For me, the title says it all--these are awesome gloves. We started using Mechanix Wear gloves in Iraq, because the issue nomex gloves couldn't stand up to the use & abuse we put them through (we were convoy escort, so we were always working on our vehicles & 50 cals). At that time, Mechanix Wear geared their gloves to the civilian market, so we had to buy the black gloves, and use sharpie marker to color in the white logos. Still, we had to hide the gloves from the Sergeants-Major, who would go into convulsions if they saw us using non-issue gloves...Anyhow, most of us brought our Mechanix gloves home at the end of our tour, because they were still in good shape. Now that the company is producing a more 'tactical' style glove, I bought a pair, and love them as much as the originals (plus the new ones don't smell like Iraq). A few points about the Mechanix Wear M-Pact gloves: * Love the coyote brown tan color; works just as well with civilian clothes as with a military uniform. * The rubber finger & knuckle guards provide great protection, but are segmented so you can still flex your fingers. * The black rubber on the palms and fingers is 'grippy,' I can put away & take my car keys out of my pants pocket without taking off the gloves. The same feature helps with magazine changes, as well as working in the garage with tools. * The logo is also coyote tan, so it blends in with the glove...No need for a sharpie marker. * The price point is fantastic; I can get a pair for the garage, and one each for my hiking kit and for each car trunk.
