Tough Gloves Enforcer Unlined Leather Gauntlet for Motorcycle Riding, Honor Guards, and Marching Bands TD650HP

Great gloves for cosplay, goes well with my Sith costume.Bought the largest size that was selling (size 12) because I have big hands.Putting these on is a tiny bit snug because the shape of the glove is made to the contours of your hand where the wrist area is narrower than most gloves or gauntlets I've tried, these will eventually loosen with continued use but actually, if the gloves were any larger the fingers would be too big and floppy, so I guess these gloves were meant to hug the shape of your hand and complete wrist area.The black leather material is soft and thin (no lining version) and the gloves themselves are very very lite. They look and feel good and you wont need to worry about these flopping around or feel like they're falling off-of your hand, nor will you need to continuously adjust these like bigger cheap 'pull your socks up' versions.As for the gloves dexterity, the hands and fingers feel more natural than any glove I've tried and although movement at first will feel odd because of the 'hug' type nature of these gloves, you'll eventually get use to them.The gauntlet cuffs aren't as stiff as some gloves out there but you wont have to worry about these flopping around, if you're of a thicker forearm build like me, they're open wide enough to fit over a medium to thick unlined jacket or shirt sleeve... the gloves fitted over the top of my thick hoodie sleeve with room left to play but might be a little tight if worn over the top of a thick winter coat or thick lined leather bike jacket.The packaging was that of a thick cardboard FedEx envelope, convenient for it's size and arrived undamaged and in one piece.The gloves themselves were coupled together with a thin plastic fine barb threaded through a small tab on each of the gloves inside cuff, a flat piece of cardboard separator between them to aid in keeping the gloves flat and wrinkle free, then packed into a thin clear plastic bag with a couple of Silica gel bags inside.I trust these will stand the test of time... these will compliment any Sith, Vendetta cosplay costume... they're very comfortable (once worn in) and great looking gloves.There is one test I haven't tried with these yet which is the water resistant test, but I'll leave that for someone else to review that will use them in those conditions.

I originally ordered a size 8 based on my measurement, but went for a size 7 after that to make sure the gloves were as skin tight as can be.I’ve worn a lot of gloves, looking for dexterity. These are the best I’ve found. They work somewhat with touch screens, but require a good amount of pressure to do anything.Leather is slick and offers little grip. I’ll see what can be done about that, and touch screen compatibility.The gauntlet opening is very wide, I may modify that to make it slimmer.

There is a reason why these gloves are priced at almost $80: They are very high quality. When they say tight fit, it's not extremely tight, but just tight enough to permit me some fine motor skills. My only minor complaint is that the cuffs are wider than I expected, but that's trivial in the grand scheme of things. Wound definitely recommend.

The leather is not of good Quilty, and it has markings in the leather cuff!

As others have noted, these run a little small. I got the 9s per the chart, and they *just* fit. But I'm good with that as I wanted a very close fitting look. I think they will fatigue my hands after a couple of hours, but that's easy to fix.The chestnut color is darker than I'd anticipated, but very nice even so. The stitching is very even, and they are buttery smooth.I have no idea how tough they'll be, as they have a similar weight to formal leather gloves. I anticipate they'll wear quickly if you are actually using them or gripping items. These will be for cosplay, and I don't plan on giving them much of a work out, so hopefully they'll last for many years.If you plan to use these for something like fencing, or using hand-held props with a costume, consider getting a size larger and possibly adding a thin layer of pigskin to the palm for durability.

Very good quality gloves ... those are my second pairs ... 3 years ago I bought the regular "Tough Gloves" number 8 ... I still have them and wear them a lot ... but these, I wear to ride my Harley only, on cold days, they make a big difference because it keeps the cold wind from entering my sleeves and therefore I stay warmer ...I wear them also when it is warmer ever when I am wearing only a long sleeve shirt and a black leather vest ... it sure gives me style, no doubt about it ...It is a nice product, and good quality leather ...The only down side, is I ordered the same size as my regular ones, and they fit a little loose ... unlike the other ones ...I recommend them ...

These are excellent gloves. They are made well and they fit better than any gloves I've ever had. I was looking for this type of gauntlet glove with the gauntlet cuff part shaped just like these for a costume, but also for occasional regular wear. So they fit my need perfectly. Their comfort, fit and construction were extra bonuses. So good in fact, that I just ordered a second pair for a different use where I will add some trim to them. Highly recommended!

Other than a sizing issue (order next size up), these gloves are awesome and perfect for my cosplay. Shipping was super quick too. Would buy from again. Thank you!
