Description
Specification

The original, and still the benchmark

Mechanix The Original glove in Multicam is the design that launched a category, backed by over 25 years of real-world use. Many have imitated it, but few can match its blend of dexterity, durability and comfort, which is exactly why it remains a staple for airsoft players and tradespeople alike.

Dexterity meets protection

A seamless single-layer 0.8mm synthetic leather palm gives you the tactile feel you need for fine tasks, and it is touchscreen-capable on the thumb and index finger so your devices stay within reach. Reinforcement at the thumb and index finger boosts durability in the areas that wear first.

Cool, comfortable, secure

The breathable TrekDry back conforms to your hand to help keep it cool, while the two-way stretch construction moves with you. A Thermoplastic Rubber hook-and-loop wrist closure locks in a snug, adjustable fit that will not shift mid-task.

Built for anything, easy to clean

From skirmishing and sport shooting to DIY, vehicle maintenance and search and rescue, The Original handles it, then goes straight in the machine to clean up ready for next time. Conforming to CE EN388 and EN420 standards, it is protection you can trust. Explore more tactical gear.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a touchscreen with these gloves on?

Yes. The synthetic leather palm is touchscreen-capable on the index finger and thumb, so you can use a phone, tablet or GPS without pulling the gloves off.

Are these gloves just for airsoft?

Not at all. The Original is a genuine multipurpose glove used for tactical and sport shooting, DIY, workwear, equipment handling, vehicle maintenance and search and rescue, so it earns its place well beyond the skirmish field.

How do they fit and stay secure?

A form-fitting, two-way stretch back hand hugs your hand, while the Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) hook-and-loop wrist closure cinches down for a secure, adjustable fit that stays put during activity.

Can I wash them?

Yes. They are machine washable, so after a muddy game or messy job you can simply throw them in the machine and have them ready for next time.

What safety standards do they meet?

The Original conforms to CE EN388 and EN420 standards with a 3121 rating, reflecting its abrasion, cut, tear and puncture performance for hand protection.
