Great Gloves!Review by Nicholas

The gloves come in minimal packaging (which I think is great), and overall the gloves are very well made. They look extremely robust and should do a good job of protecting anybodies knuckles from being turned to dust when engaging in swordplay.

I got the M/L size which are borderline OK for me, not too big but not far from it either.

Highly recommended. (Posted on 13/07/2018)
