Mechanix Wear ® gloves are not riding gloves but rather they are a specialty glove that is made to protect the hands of anyone that works on our toys whether it be your motorcycle or your car. One of the first uses of Mechanix Wear ® Gloves was by some of the pit crews at the Daytona 500 back in 1992. No one realized then that this trend would spread in to many automotive branches from there. Before Mechanix Wear ® knew it they were outfitting 41 NASCAR ® pit crews. They have been the leader in the high performance work glove market ever since. You can even now find them in your local auto parts stores. As a result of the exposure these gloves have had ever since 1992 they have become popular with mechanics, technicians, construction workers, emergency services and do-it yourselfers alike. Therefore these work gloves can be seen in use at your local shop or by the pit crews at Daytona.
Ever since their successful penetration in to the high performance work glove market Mechanix Wear ® has come up with several types of gloves made to serve different jobs. We will list a few of the different models that we carry in our online catalog below. If you are not finding what you are looking for in our online catalog please contact us for further assistance.
