The glove that started it all

The Original from Mechanix is the benchmark tactical glove for a reason. A seamless single-layer synthetic leather palm gives you the dexterity to work triggers, mags and fiddly kit, while the form-fitting TrekDry back keeps your hands cool and unrestricted.

Secure, comfortable fit

A Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) closure with hook and loop cinches the glove snugly at the wrist so it stays put through the hardest use. Reinforced thumb and index finger add durability exactly where gloves wear out first.

Far more than airsoft

This Woodland-camo 2XL pair suits airsoft, sport shooting and special-operations use, but it is genuinely multipurpose: DIY, workwear, equipment handling, vehicle maintenance and search and rescue all fall within its remit.

Wash and repeat

Machine washable and conforming to EN388 (3121) and EN420, The Original is built to be used, abused, cleaned and used again. See our tactical gear range and the in-house repair service to keep your kit game-ready.
