Very decent piece of work for the price
Used for cosplay, the gloves are rather big but so am I, so it worked out well - they feel sturdy enough and you retain enough mobility to have a drink etc. Communication with customs issues was fast and useful, only real downside was that the customs process costed me as much as the gauntlets themselves. Not sure if I just got unlucky there.

Look great, easy movement. Very, very happy with the purchase
These look great and feel great. Freedom off hand and wrist movement is very smooth. For the price point these greatly exceeded my expectations. As I complete my costume piece by piece I will come back to this seller again.

Awesome, Worth The Price
For the price these are great! They are well-made and durable, made with thick genuine leather black gloves (think heavy suede construction gloves dyed black), with the armor plates riveted on. There's lots of room for size adjustment. The plate joints are flexible and allow for quite a range of movement. It takes a little while but eventually they break in nicely to your own hand and forearm shape. I used them quite a bit swinging my swords around and they have a nice grip in actual use.I took one star off for 3 reasons. One of them is NOT because they are obviously a cheaper more "mass produced" version of much more expensive armor gauntlets; I realized that before I bought them and they exceeded my expectations of quality & build in that aspect. No, the first one is that a lot of the rivets are extremely sharp on the inside of the plates, with sharp, shredded bits of metal sticking out, enough to really wear on the leather, cut your skin, or snag other clothing. I literally cut my fingertips on them when pulling the gauntlet on. Rather than drill holes, it would seem that they just hammered the rivets through the plate and the plate metal burrs were not filed off. They can be eliminated with a dremmel tool sanding wheel, or manually with a simple small metal file. They filed off quite easily, but there's a lot of them and I really don't like having to do work on what should be a finished item. Also some of the metal edges, though folded over, had sharp points I needed to round off.The second reason is the smell. Understandably there's going some smell, but they reeked of a combination of strong machining oil (kind of like WD40) and possibly the dye &/or tanning chemicals of the suede gloves. The metal had a sheen of protective oil on them, which wipes off easily enough when you go to use them. But the smell is still strong and lasts for quite some time. I left them out in the sun for a few days and the smell was still there, though fading a bit. The bad thing is that the smell gets on your hands after wearing them and doesn't entirely go away even if you wash. It was actually strong enough to make me feel a bit nauseous at times and stunk up the whole room.The third reason is that the size adjustment straps, which are very thick, hard leather, are too large to fit through the buckles. You can either try to force them through (I needed pliars to do this) which is almost impossible to do once you get one gauntlet on and you're trying to get the strap through with the already gloved hand, or take an x-acto blade and shave the sides of the leather straps down a bit. Just a further corrective step required to make them function properly.Ultimately I'm happy with them. The sharp bits are the most annoying, and nothing you put against your body should have anything that sharp poking through, but for under $50 I can deal with correcting it myself. The odor continues to fade slowly over time. These are not kid-sized and will fit most adults.

Gift
I bought this for my boyfriend for our anniversary and he loves them. He uses them for LARP and they’ve stayed in great condition. They’re very sturdy and well made. The leather straps don’t tighten as tight as I thought they would, but you can easily make another hold in the leather to fit to size. They don’t aggravate his hands and they look great.

Functional, but needs work
These are great, a little large for me, but they work. The only issue is that the rivets keep popping.

Historically accurate
The media could not be loaded. Very fine quality, kinda hard to move around(not the most comfortable),but it’ll get you by. Decently priced for its weight. All round great product.

Only 1 issue
Got what it’s worth it’s really worth it granted it’s gonna take a bit to get used to the feeling but that's a given. Just wish they hammered down like some of the edges on the inside and out because they’re pieces of metal that stick out that are so sharp that it can cut you easily. But overall it feel pretty nice weight not to heavy, was only the sharpness problem for the time being.

Buen y bonito accesorio
Recomendable. Solo que debes tener unos brazos robustos para que embonen mejor. Se puede manejar bien la espada y otros artículos, estuve buscando por mucho tiempo y di con un estupendo accesorio que se siente bastante robusto, no es tan pesado.

They're shockingly good
On Amazon you tend to find hit or miss products, for $75 cad and some change I'd happily buy these again, they're solid metal, just cozy on the hands (I'm a pretty fat man) and allow a solid amount of movement. A lot of gauntlets I see online don't offer finger protection, so I wasn't sure what to expect with these. While the little plates wiggle off the fingers a bit they still do function and I imagine with a little bit of DIY and leather, will be perfect. Amazing quality thank you seller.

Bonitos guantes
Se ven y se siente muy bien hechos, me hubiera gustado que respetaran las 3 falanges de protección en los dedos (estos guantes tienen 4), pero por el precio me parecen muy bien. Espero que pronto sea halloween para usarlos
