These things are pretty awesome. They fit well and are well made. The shipping was very fast. I ordered it on Teusday afternoon and it arrived at my house on Thursday.

These are pretty awesome! Fit nice with just a pair of cotton gloves. The straps are very think and should break down over time so it’ll be easier to work with. Came packed nicely in its oil to prevent rusting, though took me awhile to get it all off. Very happy.

I absolutely love them they are extremely useful if you are looking for better movement in your fingers the metal is great would absolutely recommend

Nice quality gauntlets for giving your hands protection while holding weapons. Your wrists and thumbs have plenty of flexibility without sacrificing protection. Unfortunately, I’ll have to use these as costume pieces because the LARP group I’m with doesn’t allow any rigid metal to cover your hands.

Pretty decent little things. They allow nearly unrestricted movement too. Only thing with em is that the rivets can dig into your hand if you don’t have thick enough gloves. Other than that, they’re pretty cool!

These look great and function well, allowing lots of range of motion. They even sound cool when moving you hands! Mine were a bit unmatched, in that one is a more flexible than the other due to differing tightness in the rivets between the pair. Also, the straps are not the same lengths an each one, so that they buckle on different holes and have mismatched lengths of strap protruding from the buckles. This isn’t a huge problem, but a little more quality control and consistency would have been nice and bumped these to five stars. By the way, I also got the silver pair and darkened them myself with gun bluing and they turned out really well! Get a pair – they’ll make you feel ready to enter combat!

These are definitely some functional gauntlets, battle-ready gauntlets at that. I was a logger in wisconsin and can attest to how important durability is as a factor when im purchasing implements i intend to use. These things are legit, i’ve bashed them with tool hammers, and smashed them with ash wood clubs with no loss in function. They are mass produced & hand-made which means there isn’t much uniformity between gauntlets, like the size and spacing of certain plates and rivet placements, and the cufflink size. The rivets on the finger-side of the gauntlet dug into my hand, and without gloves it’s brutal. I filed them down with a chainsaw file, and built a set of leather pads to lay into the gauntlet & now they are sick! These were clearly designed to be worn with gloves, I just have huge hands and love having my fingers exposed for more breathing room & dexterity. You can curl your hand into a fist and the clamshell deign of the gauntlet will completely protect your fingers, and for like 74$ with taxes + shipping you won’t find a better pair. I absolutely love these things, If you are a budget knight like I am & want something worth your time and money, go with these gauntlets. They WON’T break when you use them for what they were built for! And they look awesome!
