Red Dragon Armoury AR7010 Hema Fencing Gloves, 12"

Put the gloves on three times. On the third time the stitching on the wrist section came undone. Don't buy if you intend to use them often.

They’re good for what they are. Nothing special but they work well. Used for single sword HEMA

These gloves are fantastic for HEMA. Unlike Lacrosse gloves these gloves provide all the extra protection in important areas such as the sides of the fingers and extra knuckle protection. I also appreciate the velcro wrist strap as I don't have to use the strings which only get in the way. I find that I can move my wrists and hands in any manner as I could without. Of course they are a bit constricting at times but not a big deal and bbetter that broken fingers which occur not infrequently in HEMA. The only issue I'd like to point out is that I bought these for my wife as they didn't offer a size 13 on Amazon. Size 12 is more for women or youth with small hands. Upon searching online for the best deal on a size 13 pair I found that the site "Cheaper than Dirt" was significantly cheaper than what these gloves are listed for herein.

I've been using these since November of 2016 and they have provided very good protection but a finger came unstiched even before their first use. I fixed this with some nylon thread and have had no other issues sine then. But combined with the experience of other reviewers I urge caution in giving these gloves a thorough inspection when you receive them to check for any possible problems with the stitching or construction so you can return them immediately if needed. Otherwise they are excellent. I have small hands (male over 40) and they fit exactly. So if your hands are any larger than on the sizing chart for these, I'd get the larger pair.

Wow! I was worried these gloves would be cheap because of the low price, but they are excellent. The grip allowed with the amount of protection gained is outstanding. I would have liked the wrist to be more open but I couldn't be more happy with them otherwise.
