Mechanix Wear MFF-02-012 Fast Fit Glove Red XX-Large Review

I was given a set of these gloves to evaluate for a magazine story, along with a couple of sets of the regular MW gloves with the wrist straps. I fell in love with all of the wrist strap gloves (the more common style) for all the automotive and hobby farm work I do. The best feature of the MW gloves are the way the fingers are made. They fit better and allow for a better sense of touch and more detailed work than any glove I've ever owned. The other impressive feature about the MW gloves are how long they last. I get out to work as often as possible... nowhere near full time... but I was still wearing out at least two or three sets of hardware store gloves a year. The MW gloves were giving me at least a year. When I finally used up the "free sample" wrist strap gloves, I finally put the Fast Fits to work and found my true "glove love." I'm on and off with my gloves a lot and the straps became a bit of a pain. The Fast Fit gloves come on an off easily but they stay on when you want them to. The perfect compromise for me. I need gloves more than most because I go from being an office worker to a laborer at a moment's notice. I spend most of my time pecking on a computer keyboard and my hands are not tough like they once were. These gloves offer a great fit, extraordinary feel and outstanding wear. My hands are addicted.

Youngstown Glove 05-3470-99-L Camo Waterproof Performance Glove Large, Mossy Oak Camo Review

They are waterproof, but do trap sweat from your hands inside. When the outside of the gloves get wet they soak up water causing them to get heavy and a little uncomfortable. The inside is soft wool which keeps your hands relatively warm. The construction of the gloves are tough, but they need to be redesigned to improve the moisture issues. I wouldn't purchase these gloves again, but would buy other Youngstown work gloves (that don't have this waterproof membrane that captures moisture, and outside insulated layers that soak up water).

Youngstown Glove 05-3430-80-L Waterproof Gauntlet XT Performance Glove Large, Black Review

The Good:
* GREAT gripping surface. These are the best gloves for hanging onto things when wet and muddy I've ever come across.
* They really are waterproof! Not merely water resistant, but genuinely rubber-glove level waterproof. Stick your hands in a bucket of water and the insides of these gloves stay dry. (Waterproof gloves inevitably get a little damp from your hands sweating during longer periods of use/activity.)
* Dexterity is pretty good for a winter glove; particularly for a waterproof one! (Assuming you get a large enough size.)
* So far the exterior shell is standing up to heavy use/abuse.The Bad:
* Not nearly as warm as I'd hoped. Apparently the manufacturer's idea of the 'harshest of winter conditions' is something rather milder than what we live with near the Canadian border. These gloves would serve admirably for most outdoor uses such as snowmobiling, but when your job involves handling cold, wet steel in sub-zero temps, you're going to still get aching, numb fingers in fairly short order.
* 'Floppy' gauntlet cuffs allow the cuffs to become bunched up (and frozen in their bunched up position if working in the cold and wet.)
* The lining does tend to get out of place and bunch up in the fingers, which can be a real aggregation when your work requires you to regularly take your gloves off and on.Other thoughts: Sizing does run small; I'd order a size larger than you usually get for gloves. I really am impressed with these gloves; they'll beat any general-purpose winter glove I've seen, and if you must have waterproof winter gloves, these do an admirable job. But, there's still quite a bit of room for improvement. Recommended, with a few reservations.

Darn good grip, darn good comfort, darn good warmth. SIZED TOO SMALL, in my opinion. I know the Mechanix brand, so I ordered x-large, and they fit fine, but I don't have extra large hands. If YOU have extra large hands, this is not your brand.

Mechanix Wear MCW2-08-010 Zone 2 Cold Weather Glove, Black/Grey, Large Review

Just received. I have short fingers so ordered small size per usual experience. This glove was extremely tight to get on. Hand barely made it past the "throat". Once inside, the fingers fit fairly well, although there was still considerable space between end of fingers and end of the glove. The glove lining is loose from the exterior glove layer, causing seams and other portions of the lining to seem to clump between fingers and the outer glove layer, creating uncomfortable sensation of "something in the glove". Appears to be no solution except "get used to it". Also don't expect lots of dexterity here. You pay a price in dexterity for the layers that provide the warmth. Reminded me of ski glove, only with tougher exterior surface. In retrospect I think I prefer more flexible "ironclad" or "mechanix" unlined type work glove with the addition of a separate silk or metal thread liner from the ski market for warmth.

Dewalt DPG27M Tough Element Cold Weather Resistant Work Glove with 3-Inch Extended Cuff, Medium Review

Dewalt DPG27M Tough Element Cold Weather Resistant Work Glove with 3-Inch Extended Cuff, Medium

I purchased these gloves for specifically working outdoors in cold weather. Previous gloves I've worn were too bulky to do anything with my fingers...and any thinner material gloves gave me better use of my fingers but left my hands too exposed to the cold air. I was hoping this would allow me to work with my fingers and keep my hands warm.
They are very tight fitting, have a great grip to them with reinforced palms and are excellent to work in. However, after being outside in below freezing conditions for more than 10 minutes, my hands were so cold my fingers were numb. The rubber palm grip became hard and frozen and my hands felt so cold like air was going right through the gloves. So, I am back to bigger bulkier gloves just to stay warm outside. These are nice if you need to briefly work outside or absolutely need better control with your fingers. As for cold weather resistant...NOT SO MUCH.
