Description
Grip is the whole point of these gloves, and Mechanix built the Specialty Grip around an Armortex palm that bites into whatever you're holding. The textured surface pushes liquids out of the way instead of turning slick, so a wrench, a pane of glass, or a greasy fitting stays put with less white-knuckle effort. That's the kind of thing you notice most on the jobs where your hands are already tired.
What Sets the Specialty Grip Apart
The palm does the heavy lifting, but the details round it out. Form-fitting TrekDry across the back keeps air moving so your hands don't cook during long stretches, and the pinched fingertip construction adds strength right where gloves tend to wear through first. That fingertip design also helps when you're pinching small hardware or picking parts off a bench.
Fit and Everyday Use of the Specialty Grip Gloves
The Wide-Fit closure wraps the wrist with hook-and-loop so you can snug it down or open it up depending on your hand and what you're wearing over it. This Medium runs a size 9. These land squarely in the general-purpose lane, so they're a natural fit for automotive work, maintenance and repair, glass handling, manufacturing and assembly, or DIY projects around the house and garage.
Care and Longevity
When they finally look the part after a season of hard use, the Specialty Grip gloves are machine washable, so you're not tossing them just because they got dirty. Between the durable palm material and the reinforced fingertips, they're built to keep earning their spot in the glove box or on the pegboard. For a working glove that puts grip first without turning your hands into a sauna, this pair covers a lot of ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Armortex palm on the Specialty Grip gloves grip so well?
The Armortex palm is textured to increase friction, so it holds onto tools and parts with less effort from you. That texture also displaces liquids, which is why it keeps a solid grip in dry, oily, and wet conditions. It's the standout feature of these gloves and the reason they carry the Grip name.
How does the Medium size fit?
This Medium corresponds to a size 9 in the Mechanix sizing chart. The Wide-Fit hook-and-loop closure lets you tighten or loosen the fit around your wrist, so there's some room to dial in comfort. If you're between sizes, measuring your hand against the Mechanix chart is the surest way to land the right fit.
Can I wash the Specialty Grip gloves when they get dirty?
Yes, these gloves are machine washable, so you can clean off grease and grime and keep using them. Washing them helps the TrekDry breathability and grip texture perform like they should. It also means you're not replacing them just because they picked up a job's worth of dirt.
What kind of work are these gloves best suited for?
They're built as a general-purpose glove, so they shine for automotive work, maintenance and repair, glass handling without cut hazards, manufacturing and assembly, and DIY projects. The grip-focused palm makes them especially handy anytime you're dealing with slick or oily items. Just note they're not a cut-resistant or impact glove, so match them to the task.
