Mechanix Wear Original Touchscreen Work Gloves — Large, Black
Product description
What you get: a pair of Original Work Gloves from Mechanix Wear, built to be reused and machine laundered.
Materials & construction: the palms and fingertips are made from welded synthetic leather for a balance of abrasion resistance and tactile feel, allowing use with touchscreens. The back of the hand features CoolPlus woven mesh for airflow, and the palm includes venting to help reduce sweat and blistering during prolonged use. The glove’s thumb saddle is reinforced with a welded grip design and the heel of the palm is padded to help dampen vibration.
Fit & sizing: these gloves are offered in a range of sizes (commonly stocked from XS through XL) and use a Freedom-Flex stitched cuff to prevent bunching. An adjustable hook-and-loop wrist closure with a thermoplastic rubber tab provides a secure, customizable fit that keeps debris out.
How they’re used: designed for a wide variety of tasks—automotive work, carpentry, construction, gardening, shooting, and general shop jobs—these gloves focus on preserving dexterity while offering basic impact and abrasion protection. Their touchscreen compatibility and breathable design make them convenient for both short bursts of work and longer projects.
Care & longevity: made from machine-washable fabrics and synthetics to simplify maintenance. While built for regular use, those who push them through highly abrasive or cutting environments may find they need to replace pairs more frequently than with heavier-duty specialty gloves.

She loved them
Bought a pair for my wife after she tried mine. Comfortable and reliable—good gloves are something you barely notice until you need them.

Good performance, limited lifespan
They work great for roughly a year of regular use for me, then start to develop holes. Solid while they last.

Workhorse gloves I keep buying
This is my third or fourth pair, not because they fall apart but because I misplace them. They handle everything from electrical wire and scrap metal to field tasks. Grip holds up even when wet; fit is true to size. Tip: buy two pairs.

Solid choice for DIY and car work
These gloves have held up across many tasks—from home improvement to working on my car. Synthetic leather is flexible yet durable, fit is true to size, and the wrist closure keeps them snug. Touchscreen use without removing gloves is a real convenience.

Could improve durability
Fit and comfort are excellent and the grip is better than older pairs I had. Still wish they were tougher and more water-resistant; I hope this pair lasts longer than the last.

Saved my son's hands during practice
My son started getting blisters while practicing with a heavy instrument. These gloves protected his hands without getting in the way of playing. He can practice longer and more comfortably now.

My go-to glove for work and range
I've used these for years for both my job and shooting. The medium fits me like a second skin. They breathe well in heat and cushion enough to avoid burning on hot engines and barrels. They’re not invincible—after heavy daily wear I replace a couple pairs a year—but they’re comfortable and reliable.
