Mechanix gloves for MTB?

Mechanix gloves are pretty good but not as nice as the bike specific ones I can usually find on sale for $10-15.

This also.

I have a couple pairs of Mechanix gloves for working on cars/bikes and random dirty work around the house. Even the slip one ones are fairly thick and fit looser than my MTB specific gloves.

I buy all my MTB gloves on sale for 10-15 bucks on sale from online shops. My current pair is from 661 for under 10 bucks on sale from Jenson.

I also like gloves with no velcro. I find that the velcro snags on everything. Ruined a couple nice jerseys from the velcro snagging and pulling the threads out.

I only wear mine on a bike for commuting

I have a pair without Velcro that I've been using all spring, they are a little heavier than MTB gloves which I like, since down here In the SW one of the most likely things your hands will come in contact with it cactus!

I second the vent style. Works well in CO heat

if you guys live in a hot environment... i suggest wearing weight lifting fingerless gloves.. I feel like they are perfect + they are super cheap!!!

I like use them in the winter milder months, very durable.

I use these from Harbor Freight.. They can be had for $3.99 on sale. I modify them a bit to make them perfect..

First, I slice the velcro tab off it. then slice the off the threads holding the plastic hook part of the velcro to the glove.. The velcro sucks and the hook part destroys my Jersey material if it contacts it..

Then I slice the fingers off just before the threads on the leather seam.

switch up between the fast fits and the classics, they both work well. The classics are a little hot in the summer in New England.

Fast fits year round here. All the MTB specific gloves I've used start to detonate after a ride or 3

Weird, I've tried several (mtb specific) brands and aside from the velcro they've all held up great. The Royals I'm using now have been through the washing machine dozens of times and still look nearly new.

Came across these at the store today. I think they would be perfect for summer riding.

I've used mechanics gloves for both MX and MTBing. They usually work fine, and cost less than branded moto gloves.
