Buying guide
Choosing a mechanics glove
Mechanics gloves are about fit and feel first. Here's how the options differ.
Palm material
Synthetic leather is flexible and washes well. Goat, cow and pig grain leather palms add durability and a natural feel.
Impact protection
TPR (thermoplastic rubber) pads across the knuckles and fingers absorb knocks from tools and pinch points.
Ergonomic fit
Pre-curved fingers follow the natural shape of your hand, which reduces fatigue when you grip tools all day.
Winter versions
Fleece-lined and insulated styles keep the same fit with added warmth for cold shops and outdoor work.
Good to know
Why fit matters so much
A mechanics glove that's too loose bunches at the palm and catches on parts. One that's too tight fatigues your hand and wears out at the seams.
Measure your hand and check our size guide. Stretch backs give you a little room, but the palm and fingertips should fit close.
Fits like a second skin. Works like a tool.
