Review on 🧀 Tactical Recon Covert Work Gloves by Mechanix Wear (Medium, All Black) by Mark Howard

Revainrating 3 out of 5

OK, but not for me. Suitable for gloves, mittens and liners

Mechanix made full leather driving gloves that were durable and fitted well. It was discontinued in 2013 and the replacement was never released again. My guess is that gloves designed for autocross, sports car, and motorcycle racers didn't fit the military-tactical model. On a whim, I chose the Recon, which is a mix of leather and fabric. The workmanship is high quality with a seam. I have normal hands with thin fingers and bought the large. The length fit my fingers but the thumb was too short and the webbing between them was too tight. Going to XL would have made my fingertips too long so I brought them back. It must be difficult to make gloves that fit everyone, but I want Mechanix to bring their full leather gloves back out as leather stretches and fits better than cloth.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Quality
