I actually first got a used pair of Mechanix gloves from my neighbor that he had laying around his garage... tried them and even with holes worn into the fingers in a few places I liked the fit and the velcro closure. Wanted a "pure" black pair for use when I go camping and shooting - just a good idea for saving those fleshy grippy things at the end of each arm from cuts, scrapes, pinches, etc. In fact, I patched up the original pair when my neighbor didn't want them back & those are still working great around the house here!
These Large Stealth (remember that the last 3 digits are the size - so 009 is Medium, 010 is Large, 011 is X-Large, etc.) fit great (see below). I am a little leery of the "thinner" velcro (doesn't look like the traditional velcro we've all come to know & love...) but so far it's holding & working great. If they had the "normal" velcro, I probably would've bumped up to all five stars. Now to order & try a tan pair and maybe a cold-weather pair too.
For some additional detail on the fit - these almost feel like a 2nd skin. I can pick up nickles & quarters with my fingertips in these - and that just doesn't happen with a lot of gloves out there. Can't pick up dimes though. I can break branches or change mags in my Ruger 10/22 by touch and still have excellent protection for my digits, knuckles, and the rest of my hand. Get them - for the price, they have good durability and excellent fit & feel.Get more detail about Mechanix Wear MG-06-009 Original Glove, Green Medium.
