The Mechanix Wear Original Covert glove in size Small is The Glove That Started It All, redefined for military and law enforcement professionals (Mechanix Wear part no. MG-55-008). It pairs a 0.8mm touchscreen-capable synthetic leather palm with a CoolPlus woven-mesh back for dexterity and airflow. A Freedom-Flex cuff and a welded Lock Ring thumb panel add range of motion and durability in high-wear areas. Mechanix Wear has built this design for more than 30 years, and it remains a go-to for range days, duty use and general work.
