I tried some other brands like Mechanix and Fox, but the fit was all over the place. My Fox gloves were loose, while Mechanix felt just right. It definitely varies for everyone.

22

My experience with sizing discrepancies is kind of funny. I ordered a Large in Mechanix and ended up with gloves that felt like kids’ sizes! Maybe my hands are just too big for them?

23

Haha, that’s relatable! I also had a comical moment trying to fit into a pair of Mediums, but then I realized my hands are pretty much paws! Lesson learned: measure wisely.

I recently got a pair of Mechanix Wear M-Pact gloves and they fit snugly, but they’re super comfortable. I noticed they provide great dexterity for shooting. What models are you considering?

25

I had the M-Pact too! I liked the fit for most tasks, but they felt a bit bulky for shooting in my opinion. The FastFit model is much better for that.

26

I’ve used both the M-Pact and FastFit. The FastFit definitely feels better when aiming and the grip is top-notch! Sizing for me has been consistent across both models.

27

That’s good to hear! I am leaning towards FastFit since I need dexterity. Do you find the sizing accurate?

28

Yes, I found the sizing true to size. I have medium hands and the mediums fit perfectly. Just make sure you try them on, as a snug fit really helps during shooting!

Great advice! How do they hold up in terms of durability? I want something that lasts.

I find them quite durable. I’ve put mine through some rugged use, and they still hold up well. You might want to go for the M-Pact if you’re looking for added protection too!

Good point! Honestly, I think it’s all about balancing protection with dexterity. What do you all think?

32

It’s a balancing act for sure! I usually opt for a bit more dexterity since I do more precision shooting. But, if you’re working with heavier duty tasks, protection might take precedence.

Well, if only I could just use oven mitts for shooting, right? Kidding aside, it seems like the right gloves make a difference in performance. Just don’t forget to size up if you’re in between sizes!
