Default Mechanix MPact Gloves

Anybody else use these gloves? I got a pair of the "stealth" gloves while I was at the PX today to use in the garage. I was out there buying my son his birthday present. Nobody tell him anything....

Anyway, I walked back out to the bike and things went something like this: I looked at the $20 something pair of mechanix gloves. Looked at the $60 something pair of riding gloves. Kicked myself because the mechanix gloves are more comfortable and give me a better grip on the controls. Wore the mechanix gloves home.

They're not as insulated but man are they nice. The stealth ones have rubber knuckle protection too.

If I happen to put gloves on - that is what I wear as well.
(same ones I use for snowmobiling, dirt biking, mountain biking, hunting)

Yeah, checked out their website. They make a ton of different types of gloves. We used to wear the basic glove in Iraq/Afghanistan. Didn't know they made so many different types though.

Those are all I use in the warmer months. Inexpensive and comfortable; you can't beat it.

Try the mpact pro's, nice thick leather on the palms. They break in really nice too.
