Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Mechanix Wear Original Covert gloves good for shooting at the range?
Absolutely. The Original Covert is one of the most popular gloves among range shooters thanks to its thin 0.8mm synthetic leather palm that preserves trigger feel and firearm control. The reinforced thumb and index finger add durability in areas most prone to wear during shooting, and the form-fitting design keeps bulk to a minimum so nothing interferes with your grip or draw.
Can I use my phone or other touchscreen devices while wearing these gloves?
Yes — Mechanix Wear has integrated touchscreen-compatible technology into the fingertips of the Original Covert, allowing you to operate smartphones, tablets, and other capacitive touchscreen devices without needing to remove your gloves. This is especially useful in tactical, field, or range environments where speed and convenience matter.
How do I know if XXL is the right size for me?
Mechanix Wear recommends measuring the circumference of your dominant hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) to determine your glove size. An XXL typically fits hand circumferences of approximately 10–10.5 inches. If you're between sizes, Mechanix gloves generally run true to size, but many users with wider palms prefer to size up for comfort during extended wear.
