Designed for Tactical and Professional Use

The Mechanix Original Covert Gen.3 is designed for users who need dexterity and control during demanding tasks. The slim 0.8 mm synthetic leather palm allows good tactile feedback while maintaining practical durability for field, range and work use.

The all-black Covert colour makes the glove suitable for tactical uniforms, law enforcement duty gear, range work and professional maintenance environments where a discreet appearance is preferred.

CoolPlus® Woven-Mesh Back of Hand

The back of the glove uses CoolPlus® woven-mesh fabric, helping reduce heat build-up during work. The Gen.3 design uses a new mesh panel that wraps the back of the hand with fewer seams, helping reduce snagging and improve comfort.

Freedom-Flex Cuff

The stitched Freedom-Flex cuff is designed to reduce material bunching on the back of the hand. This allows freer wrist and hand movement, especially during weapon handling, tool use, driving, climbing into vehicles or other active tasks.

Lock Ring™ Thumb Saddle Reinforcement

The welded Lock Ring™ grip panel wraps the high-wear thumb saddle area. This improves durability in one of the most heavily used parts of the glove and reduces vulnerable stitching in that zone.

Touchscreen-Compatible Palm

The 0.8 mm synthetic leather palm is touchscreen capable, allowing use of compatible phones, tablets and devices without removing the glove.

Touchscreen performance may vary depending on device, screen protector, moisture, dirt and glove wear.
