Muc-Off Mechanic Gloves - Heavy-Duty Motorcycle Mechanic Gloves

The Muc-Off Mechanics Gloves are workshop gloves designed for those who work on motorcycles, bicycles, or cars: they offer 360° protection from most cuts and scratches while maintaining finger dexterity. The polyurethane-coated palm provides grip on greasy wrenches and components, the fabric is ultralight, and the construction is latex-free. They are machine washable at 30 °C and are available in five sizes, from S to XXL.

Who is it perfect for?

These are the gloves to keep hanging in the garage and put on every time you touch the chain, change a brake pad, or remove a fairing. The polyurethane coating on the palm allows you to grip a greasy wrench without it slipping, and the thin fabric lets you retrieve a dropped screw without taking them off, which is why most work gloves end up on the workbench. They are suitable for mechanics and for those who do their own maintenance, on motorcycles, bicycles, or cars. They do not replace riding gloves: those are a different category and serve a different purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can they be used for riding a motorcycle?
No. These are workshop gloves: they protect against cuts and scratches while working, but they are not approved for motorcycle use and do not have impact protection or abrasion resistance in the event of a fall. For riding, certified gloves are needed, which are a different product category.

How do I choose the size?
Measure your hand circumference at the knuckles, with fingers together and thumb excluded, and compare it with the table above, which is the official Muc-Off one. The fit is snug: if your measurement falls between two sizes, the larger one provides more comfort, the smaller one more sensitivity.

Are they certified cut-resistant?
Muc-Off claims 360° protection from most cuts and scratches, but does not publish any EN 388 certification or a cut resistance level. We prefer to state it openly: these are maintenance gloves, not personal protective equipment certified for mechanical risk.

Are they washable?
Yes, machine wash at a low temperature: the manufacturer specifies 30 °C. This limit must be observed, as the polyurethane coating on the palm degrades with heat. It's also best to avoid the dryer and let them air dry, away from radiators.

Do they contain latex?
No. The official data sheet explicitly lists them as latex-free. The composition is 40% HPPE, 30% polyurethane, 15% nylon, 10% elastane, and 5% carbon fiber: no natural rubber.

Can you feel the grip on wrenches?
Yes, that's why the palm is coated with polyurethane: it increases grip on smooth and greasy surfaces while maintaining dexterity. The fabric is thin and snug, so you can still feel the threading of a screw and the click of a ratchet wrench.
