Mechanix Wear FastFit Review Posted on 2 Jul 08:00 , 18 comments

When looking for a tactical set of gloves we all have our favorite brands. Some of us will hunt high and low to find the right set of gloves and pay what we need to pay, which can be expensive at times.

I recently started looking for a new set of gloves. They needed to be something I could put on fast – a glove that would allow me to operate often small and fiddly bits of equipment without the hassle of taking the gloves on and off. This is something I have encountered time and time again with gloves; you throw in kit like night vision or thermal device and it has all these small buttons everywhere. It’s the middle of night and you’re there trying to feel around with your gloves on and you can’t feel a thing. I needed a glove that would allow great dexterity and a nice tight fit.

Well, I found these features in the Mechanix Wear FastFit model in coyote tan. Straight away, the moment you put them on you can feel they are a nice and tight fit with a slim build around the fingers. The FastFit gloves also felt tough around the palm which was great, so now it was time to put them to good use.

After four weeks of hard abuse I can say this they are a hard wearing glove and very easy to work with. I haven’t had any problems working any of my equipment, including some of smaller knobs and buttons on my gadgets. They allow me to freedom to push and work all the right buttons on my thermal sight without wasting precious time. They’ve held up great when working my way through houses, broken windows, splintered doors, or even hitting the ground hard, palms first – these gloves can take it.

Sometimes with issued or purchased gloves, they come with squared-off fingertips that can cause problems with some of the tighter trigger guards. Not a problem with the FastFit straight out the box. The FastFit dexterity is phenomenal, giving natural feedback to my hands when feeling around my kit or operating a piece of gear. This is key when working at night and your life may depend on speed. On top of dexterity, the FastFit grip allows you to grab mags quickly even when wet.

These gloves aren’t featured with knuckle protection or hard rubber running along the fingers, but they still offer protection to the hand from things like broken glass, sharp metal, or splinter pieces of wood. I can’t count the number of times I have put my hands down on broken glass when climbing through a window or lifting broken and smashed H iron beams out of my path.

They are not the warmest glove if the temperature is down, but they do take the chill out the wind. When it’s warm and the sun is out, the FastFit are breathable, so hands stay reasonably dry and sweat free.

All in all, these gloves are fantastic and at around $15, they’re a steal. I have to put these at the top of my list as some of the best gloves I have ever used. As long as Mechanix keeps making the FastFit, I will continue to keep on buying them. Great gloves from a great provider – 10 out of 10.

Pelican 1920 Review Posted on 1 Jul 16:39 , 18 comments

Overview

The Pelican 1920-000-110 1920 LED Flashlight offers super-bright and reliable illumination. It produces 120 lumens to help you see in low-light and dark conditions, making it ideal for use around the home, while outdoors or even in emergency situations. Powered by two AAA batteries, the Pelican flashlight has a run time of three hours.

 

Review

This is a great pocket-sized light. I carry it in my pocket and do not feel weighed down. And even though it's very compact and light weight, it throws a huge amount of light. Battery life is pretty good, considering the light output from two little AAA batteries. The build quality is very good and also has a solid feel to it. I especially like the high and low functionality, because there are certainly times that 120 lumens is just too much, and that bright light can blind you in low-light conditions. 

Add on that the lifetime warranty, and I don't think there's a better pocket flashlight out there.
