Description
Mechanix Wear built its reputation on this glove, and the coyote-colored Small in MG72008 carries that legacy forward. It pairs a rugged 0.8mm synthetic leather palm with a breathable mesh back, giving you a snug, second-skin feel that lets you handle everything from a magazine change to a socket wrench without fighting the material. The whole idea is protection you barely notice on your hands.
What Makes The Original Glove Tick
The palm and fingertips use touchscreen-capable synthetic leather, so you can scroll a rangefinder app, tap out a text, or work a phone screen without peeling the glove off. That same 0.8mm leather is thin enough for real dexterity yet tough enough to shrug off abrasion, and the thumb and index finger get reinforcement in the spots that wear out first. The back of the hand is wrapped in breathable TrekDry-style mesh that conforms to your hand and vents heat, which matters when you're wearing these for hours.
Fit and Everyday Use for the Original Coyote
A thermoplastic rubber wrist closure with a hook-and-loop strap locks the glove down so it won't slip or let grit sneak in. Mechanix runs these on the snug side, which is by design, and if you happen to land between sizes, going down usually gets you that precise, close fit these gloves are known for. When they get grimy, they're machine washable, though tossing them in a pillowcase and letting them air dry keeps the closure and mesh in good shape for the long haul.
Where the Coyote Original Earns Its Keep
This is a genuine do-it-all glove. Range days, DIY projects, wrenching in the garage, hunting, airsoft, and general outdoor work all fall right in its wheelhouse. The coyote color plays nice with tactical and outdoor gear, and the low-profile build means you get real hand protection without giving up the feel you need for detail work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Mechanix Wear Original gloves touchscreen capable?
Yes. The 0.8mm synthetic leather on the palm and fingertips is touchscreen compatible, so you can use your phone, tablet, or rangefinder without taking the gloves off. It's one of the features that makes the Original so easy to live in all day.
Do the Original gloves run small, and should I size down?
Mechanix designs these for a snug, close fit, so they feel tight at first before they break in and stretch a bit. If you fall between two sizes, sizing down usually gets you that precise fit these gloves are known for. That tighter feel is what gives you the dexterity to handle small tools and parts.
Can I wash the Mechanix Original gloves?
They're machine washable, which keeps maintenance simple after dusty range trips or shop work. A good trick is to put them in a pillowcase, use a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and let them air dry. Skipping high heat helps the closure and mesh hold their shape.
What kind of work are the Coyote Original gloves good for?
These are true multi-purpose gloves that cover a lot of ground: range days, wrenching, DIY projects, hunting, airsoft, and general outdoor tasks. The reinforced thumb and index finger add durability where you need it, while the thin leather keeps the feel you want for detail work. The coyote color also blends well with tactical and outdoor gear.
