DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.
(April 14, 2022) – Progressive
American Flat Track is
proud to introduce
Mechanix Wear, Inc. as
the Official Work Glove
of Progressive AFT for
the 2022 season.
Now ubiquitous across numerous
fields, Mechanix Wear gloves
were born in motorsport.
Debuting at the 1991 Daytona 500
more than 30 years ago, the
brand has since established
itself a global leader for
mechanics, trade professionals,
manufacturing, military and law
enforcement tactical teams
alike.
“The Original® glove was the
brainchild of a legendary
motocross mechanic, and
two-wheel racing is at the core
of who we are as a brand,” said
Michael Hale, CEO of Mechanix
Wear. “We are excited to
build upon our motorsports
legacy with another great
American racing series.”
Based in Valencia, California,
Mechanix Wear’s reputation has
been built upon its rigorous
testing standards and
industry-leading material
technology. Anatomically
designed and extraordinarily
durable, Mechanix Wear gloves
provide safety and comfort along
with agility and control.
“Progressive AFT is proud to
partner with Mechanix Wear, the
gold standard in hand
protection,” said Gene Crouch,
COO of Progressive American Flat
Track. “Mechanix Wear gloves
were designed by legendary race
mechanics and for decades
they’ve been protecting the
hands of the sport’s top tuners
and crew members. We’re excited
to officially welcome them to
the Progressive AFT family of
partners.”
