Default Machanix Gloves

I always looked and wonderd about these gloves for a long time.
I finialy broke down and bought a pair of them....
They are in exspensive, fit well and are thin, so you can actualy handle stuff with them....
No need to take them off when I fuel up....And they are surpriseingly warm for being so thin, The other day it was around 50 and overcast, high fog and my hands where warm with them....
I like the feel of my throtle with them on....I hate thick gloves....
After I get my National cycle Hand Deflectors these goves will be perfect.
Anyone else out there ride with these gloves....?

yes, i LOVE my mechanix wear gloves.. i have a set of the vent gloves. they're so nice cause your hands don't sweat with them on.. they have tons of tiny little holes in them that let them breathe i usually wear them at least 50% of the time i ride. try to keep the tan lines to a minimum in the summer

I've ridden with them since day one. Get below 45 or so and you'll want thicker gloves, but for most of the year, they're perfect.

I had a pair of harley lightweight gloves. After only a couple of months I wore holes in the finger tips. Replaced them with a pair of mechanix gloves and they have lasted three times longer at less then half the cost of the Harley gloves

I use them at work and they hold up pretty well to abuse. I use leather riding gloves with gel pads on the palm for riding.

Is it possible to fine a pair that doesn't have "mechanix" printed repeatedly all over?

There's a few pair that arn't labeled all over. http://www.mechanix.com/search/all-gloves

I've been wearing them for years. I buy a new pair for riding every year and the old pair turns into yard work gloves.

Hell yeah, I love 'em! They are my everyday riding gloves & you are right they are comfy & significantly warm for the thickness. I too like to feel that clutch. And if you should have to work on your bike on the side of the road, you're ready. They wear very well. I also agree with Du510...45 or below bring out the Gore-tex.

Usually the dirt cheap ones in the 15-20 dollar range are the ones with mechanix all over them. The more expensive 25-30 dollar ones usually only have it on them once and have gel pads and rubber on the backs of the fingers and hand making them more comfortable and suitable for riding anyways

Mechanix gloves are great for riding.
