Specification

The glove that started it all

The Mechanix Original is one of the most recognised tactical gloves in the world, and this Covert version keeps everything low-profile in stealthy black. A seamless single-layer synthetic leather palm gives you the direct feel you need for trigger control, fine manipulation and handling kit, while a form-fitting two-way stretch back keeps the glove snug and quiet.

Comfort that lasts the day

The TrekDry back of hand lets air flow and shapes to your hand, so you stay cool and comfortable through long games and work sessions. A lightweight TPR hook-and-loop cuff cinches the glove to your wrist for a secure fit that will not shift when you are moving fast.

Tested and rated

Built to EN388 3121X and EN ISO 21420 standards, the Original delivers dependable abrasion and wear protection for airsoft, range work and beyond. The touchscreen-capable palm means you can check your phone without stripping down.

Use it, wash it, repeat

This is a true workhorse: use it for skirmishing, DIY, equipment handling and vehicle maintenance, then throw it in the machine to clean it ready for next time. Pair it with more field kit from our clothing and apparel range.

Frequently asked questions

Are these gloves good for airsoft?

Yes. The thin, seamless synthetic leather palm gives excellent trigger and control feel, while the covert black keeps your loadout low-profile. They are a long-standing favourite for skirmishers.

What does the EN388 3121X rating mean?

It is a European standard for mechanical risks. The Original scores 3 for abrasion, 1 for cut, 2 for tear and 1 for puncture, so it offers solid everyday wear protection rather than heavy cut resistance.

Can I use a touchscreen with them on?

Yes. The synthetic leather palm is touchscreen capable, so you can use a phone or tablet without pulling the gloves off.

How do I wash them?

They are machine washable. Wash on a cool cycle and air dry. Avoid high heat, which can shorten the life of the synthetic materials and closure.

How should I choose a size?

Measure around your palm at the knuckles. Mechanix sizing is generally true to fit, and the two-way stretch back and TPR cuff let you fine-tune the fit.
