Description
The FastFit Covert is Mechanix Wear's take on a low-profile glove that doesn't sacrifice feel for protection. The star of the show is a 0.6mm synthetic leather palm, which is thin enough to give you clean trigger feel and the kind of dexterity you need for small parts, zip ties, and fiddly gear, while still holding up to daily use. It runs in the Covert colorway, a subdued low-key look that blends in on patrol or at the range.
What Makes the FastFit Covert Tick
Touchscreen capability is built right into the synthetic leather, so you can answer calls, drop a pin, or adjust an optic app without stripping a glove off and losing your grip on everything else. The back of the hand uses breathable TrekDry material with evaporative cooling to keep heat and sweat in check, and the stretch-elastic cuff slips on fast and locks to your wrist without a lot of fuss. That slip-on design is where the FastFit name comes from, and it's genuinely quick to get on and off between tasks.
Built to Hold Up Where It Counts
Mechanix put some thought into the wear points. An anatomically shaped two-piece palm cuts down on material bunching for a cleaner, more consistent grip, and pinched fingertip construction adds strength and durability right where gloves usually blow out first. Nylon carrier loops let you clip them to a bag or belt when you're not wearing them, and when they get grimy you can toss them in the washing machine.
This Small fits a finger length around 4 7/8 to 5 1/8 inches and a palm width of roughly 2 1/2 to 3 inches, so check your measurements against that range for the dialed-in fit these gloves are known for. Folks reach for the FastFit Covert for shooting, patrol work, EDC, and general maintenance and repair, and it earns its keep across all of them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the FastFit Covert gloves actually touchscreen capable?
Yes. The touchscreen technology is built into the 0.6mm synthetic leather palm, so you can run your phone, tablet, or an optic app without taking the gloves off. It keeps you connected while you keep your grip on everything else.
Will the FastFit Covert work for shooting and range use?
They're a popular pick for exactly that. The thin 0.6mm synthetic leather palm gives you clean trigger feel and solid dexterity, and the anatomically shaped two-piece palm cuts down on bunching for a more consistent grip. Plenty of folks run them for shooting, patrol, and everyday carry.
How should I size the FastFit Covert, and does the Small run true?
This is the Small, which fits a finger length of roughly 4 7/8 to 5 1/8 inches and a palm width around 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Measure your hand against those numbers before you order, since the FastFit is built for a snug, dialed-in fit rather than a loose one.
Can I wash the FastFit Covert gloves?
You can. They're machine washable, so when they get sweaty or grimy from range time or work you can clean them up and they hold their shape well. It's one less thing to baby with a working glove.
