Specification

The glove that started it all

Mechanix The Original is the benchmark tactical glove, refined over more than 25 years and copied countless times. This black version with white branding delivers a seamless single-layer synthetic leather palm for a natural feel on triggers, tools and controls, backed by a form-fitting two-way stretch upper that moves with your hand.

Comfort that lasts all day

The breathable TrekDry back draws heat and moisture away to keep hands cool and comfortable through long games or work sessions. A Thermal Plastic Rubber closure with hook and loop cinches the wrist for a secure fit, while reinforced thumb and index finger add durability exactly where gloves wear out first.

Touchscreen ready and washable

The palm is touchscreen capable, so phones, tablets and optic menus stay usable without stripping off a glove. When the job is done, throw them in the machine, air dry, and they come back ready for more. The EN388 3121X rating confirms real mechanical protection.

One glove, many jobs

Airsoft and sport shooting, equipment handling, DIY, vehicle maintenance, search and rescue: The Original does it all. It is our best-selling Mechanix glove for good reason. Pair it with more kit from our clothing and gloves range or explore the wider tactical selection.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a touchscreen with these gloves on?

Yes. The synthetic leather palm is touchscreen capable, so you can operate a phone, tablet or optic without removing the glove.

Are Mechanix Original gloves machine washable?

They are. Machine wash then air dry rather than tumble drying, and they will keep their fit and performance wash after wash.

What does the EN388 3121X rating mean?

It is the European standard for mechanical protection: 3 abrasion, 1 cut, 2 tear, 1 puncture, with X meaning the TDM cut test was not applicable. In short, solid everyday hand protection.

Are these gloves only for airsoft and shooting?

No. The Original is a genuine multipurpose glove used for airsoft, range work, DIY, workwear, vehicle maintenance and search and rescue.

How should I choose my size?

Measure around your palm at the knuckles. Mechanix gloves fit close for dexterity, so if you are between sizes and want extra room, size up.
