The leather gauntlet was not exactly as I expected. The leather was stiffer than I expected and the sizing seamed a bit off. With some proper oiling and a little work I was able to fit it much better and am now very happy with the product. Not everything is perfect straight out of the box!, though I was given the impression of a slightly higher quality than what came out of the box. Over all I am in the end satisfied. Sincerely-Dylan-

To start, I ordered the Brown Left-hand version (they were and appear to continue to be out of the right hand). It is hardened leather which is really nice, gives it a good feel, look and a bit of protection (depending what you are doing). The cuff is not adjustable at all, which mean there is a gap between the cuff and your wrist. You could in theory had another attachment point if you really wanted it tight, but you would also need to trim the side of the gauntlet to avoid any overlap. Due to the hardness of the leather, it can be difficult to bend your hand back, not that you should need to much, and the knuckle guard works best if you are wearing gloves under this too. Overall, I am quite pleased with this item. It looks good, feels good and only thing I might change is it being easier to procure a set. 7.5/10
