Mechanics gloves (which are used by workers other than mechanics as well) are made of hybrid and composite materials, including leather, synthetic leather, waterproof materials, high-performance fibers or synthetic grip finishes. These gloves are thin, which allows for high dexterity, and are very durable. There are finger or fingerless versions and some offer additional grip layering or patterns for handling boxes or sheet metal. And because this is a generic catch-all name for an all-purpose glove, there is a variety of versions and different looks.
