About Mechanix Wear


In 1991 The Original® glove was born. The brainchild of a legendary race mechanic that sparked a revolution for working hands. Championed by mechanics and pit crews at the 1991 Daytona 500, The Original® is the glove that started it all. Decades later, our roots in motorsports have grown into industries where skilled hands go to work every day. Mechanics, construction workers, trade professionals, service members and law enforcement all agree.

Our commitment to anatomical design, industry leading material technology and rigorous testing standards has made us the preferred choice of skilled trade professionals and service members around the world.

We continue to build upon the trust of our hardworking hands by looking beyond conventional ideas to innovate the most advanced and high-performance protection for workers across all industries and extending Mechanix Wear beyond the glove that started it all and into new categories of hand and arm protection, safety eyewear protection, and protective apparel.

What Our Customers Say

“Thank you for holding fast through Covid challenges, and never slacking in the product you all put together. Mechanix Wear has been with me for 10 YEARS now since I was a police cadet in college. Pat yourselves on the back because I'm speaking for all the first responders out there and other guys and gals doing dirty jobs who rely on your gloves too, but just haven't thought to write you.”
– Aaron K., EMT

“When you choose good products, and you show that you’re actually investing in the employees’ safety, they invest in themselves too.”
-Nancy S., EHS MANAGER

“I work for a big "brown" shipping company. My job involves moving as many as 1400 packages in a shift. Without gloves, your hands get very dirty very fast. I have tried other work gloves and most of them wore out within only a couple weeks. I have had these gloves for over a month, and they show no signs of wear and tear. Extremely durable!”
- G. Ramirez, Shipping & Receiving

“I am a drywall finisher and use my hands all day for work. That being said, I am very hard on gloves. But these protect my hands when I carry 60+ pounds and get covered in mud but are delicate enough I can easily pick up a screw of the floor. My first pair lasted 2 months which is twice my normal longevity. I tried a pair of ironclad gloves to see how they compared to the Mechanix gloves, and the ironclad lasted a week before a finger seam ripped! These are worth every penny and the only kind I will buy now!”
