Mechanix Wear Hand Protection

In every industry where people make a living with their skilled hands, where they work with tools and machinery, or where hand protection is necessary, the Mechanix Wear brand has a strong presence. Mechanix Wear gloves protect the hands of those who race at the track, work at a job site, and defend our country. This California-based company made a name for itself as a leader in high-performance work gloves, but there are also many other types of protective gear in its product line, including heat sleeves, knee pads, and aprons.

It all started in 1991 when the first pair of Mechanix Wear Original gloves saw the world, or more specifically, the race track. The design was created by a race mechanic who was in need of a tough glove that would also be comfortable and dexterous enough to allow for fast wheel replacements at a pit stop. It was a success among NASCAR and Indy Car Racing teams, and quite soon, the business expanded into the military & defense, construction, mining, and automotive sectors. The Original series is still the company’s best-selling glove lineup.

It goes without saying that gloves for hard-working hands need to be tough, protective, and comfortable. That’s why they are made from strong materials that are checked for wear resistance using mechanical testing equipment before going into production, and they have a variety of special features depending on the application they’re designed for. Whether your work requires the use of high-visibility, flame-resistant, impact-resistant, or vented gloves, Mechanix Wear has you covered. Many of the brand’s gloves are long enough to cover the wrists, but workers who need larger areas to be protected from high temperatures and cuts can opt for Mechanix Wear heat sleeves manufactured with Kevlar® and reinforced with Fibreshield for fluid and oil resistance. Mechanix Wear knee pads take the pain and discomfort out of kneeling. Secure straps and anti-slip surfaces keep them properly on your knees. The pads have a pre-shaped foam construction for comfort while Armortex® and Kevlar® treading add strength and abrasion protection.
