Mechanix Wear ColdWork M-Pact Winter Work Gloves - Insulated Wind Water Resistant Heavy Duty Work Gloves - Impact

To start off, I work for FedEx Freight on the dock. It's not heated so during the winter the temperature outside is basically what it is inside on the dock. For years I've had a hard time finding a good winter work glove because most insulated gloves are too bulky and lack dexterity. These new gloves by Mechanix Wear not only feature their M-Pact armor but also 3M insulation without losing dexterity. What do I mean by this? It means I can wear these gloves to keep my hands warm, protected but I can still use the controls of my forklift, citadel computers, scale computer and handheld devices without having to take my gloves off. I'm able to still secure freight using straps, rope, blowers and other freight securing equipment without sacrificing dexterity. Past winter gloves I've used I've had a hard time using computers, buttons, even using a pen and separating paperwork without taking my gloves off. That winter we had two years ago where temps reached -40 degrees here in the Midwest (yeah, I was at work when that was going on). Temperatures lately here in the Midwest have been around 20 degrees or less at night and since I've been using these gloves my hands have stayed warm. Will they keep my hands warm during much colder conditions? I will soon find out! Construction is great and material is quality. Fit is a bit off. I normally wear a Large in Mechanix Wear M-Pact gloves but these new ColdWork M-Pact gloves fit more like the leather Driver 360 gloves. So instead of going with a Large like I normally do, I went with a Medium and they fit perfectly. So you may want to go a size down. UPDATE: February 7 2021 Shortly after I started using these gloves I decided to try and use the Mechanix Wear disposable black Nitrile gloves with the ColdWork M-Pact. I wear the Nitriles under the ColdWork gloves and believe it or not, it seems to help keep my hands warmer. Again, I work for FedEx Freight on an unheated dock here in the Midwest. Temps for the past couple of weeks have ranged from 15 to -15 degrees so I've been putting the ColdWork's to the test. Quality and construction of these gloves is holding up well. I have two pairs that I rotate day by day and I wash both Friday nights after work. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and I can honestly say that these gloves are worth it! So if you work in extreme cold conditions and need to keep your hands protected and warm I suggest giving these gloves a shot! Read more

These gloves kept my hands and fingers relatively warm in a real feel of -9°. There were times where I was feeling the cold, but for most of the day, I was content. I purchased a large (L). They seem to run slightly big, but theres no way I'd fit into a medium. With them being a little loose, it did make doing ordinary tasks a little difficult, but I'll deal with that rather than having my fingers freeze. The insides feel very comfortable. Over time, I'm sure the tips on my dominant fingers will eventually rip as they always do with all my gloves, but for the time being, I'm really happy with my purchase. Read more

Great fit, sizing is good, and they are definitely nice and warm in the winter. Read more

Keeps my hands warm as a pesticide tech/landscaper in the cooler seasons. Durable gloves and I can move my hands freely while working. I wouldn’t recommend using these if you’re constantly working in 20 degrees and lower though. After awhile of being out in the freezing cold while working, your fingers do start to hurt and feel the cold Read more

Great product from Mechanix Wear. Nice warm gloves for winter. Read more

Not a ton to say just that they are awesome, the keep your hands very warm. Careful getting them wet as they will start falling part or tear more easily. Read more

Gloves are nice. Fits perfect but durability is not so great. Used for less then a month and already got a hole on index finger. Read more

I recommend these gloves. I work out with weights outside and early in the morning. I live in the Pacific Northwest in the US, so the fall and winter mornings for me can range between 15°F-40°F. In this temperature range, my hands remain comfortable, but I'd argue that at about 20°F and below, the gloves don't provide so much warmth anymore. I don't want that to shy anyone away however, as these gloves are not designed for outdoors manual labor as much as they are probably meant for a semi-indoors garage/workshop. If you're looking for winter-time manual labor gloves, I'd honestly look elsewhere. I don't trust these to keep my hands warm when wet as well. Again, I'm not going to cut down the gloves because of that. If you're working in a dry shop during Winter and want to provide warmth and protection for your hands, or if you are doing light labor in a mildly-cold and dry environment ➡ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you're chopping wood outside and you live in upstate Michigan and it's mid-January in the morning on a wet/snowy day ➡ ⭐⭐ Read more
