Customer Review
"In addition these are the best gloves we have used for both our Shinkage heiho and Owari Kan Ryu sojutsu, and for our “weapons workouts.” I have been trying out different gloves for the past 30 some odd years, and yours are the best I’ve used in that time. They provide the best back of the fist and knuckle protection, and the length of the cuff is ideal for the Shinkage training."

5 of 5 Great Multi-Purpose Gloves March 27, 2024
Reviewer: Summer from Minneapolis, MN United States  
This is my second pair, and honestly I didn't need them other than I wanted a better fit--my first ones lasted four years before a seam started coming out and they are still in great shape for use after an easy repair. My only gripe is the most recent gloves arrived smelling horribly of cigarette smoke and machine oil. Luckily a few days outside make them tolerable.

4 of 5 Good quality, very wide. March 23, 2024
Reviewer: T from VA, US  
They're much wider than the size would suggest. I followed the sizing instructions, and the advice in reviews to order smaller.  The gloves are the perfect length in the fingers, but much wider than they need to be.  If you have average sized guy hands, a medium is probably big enough.

3 of 5 Weird proportions + size 2 down from your usual February 23, 2024
Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
Got 3XS, the smallest, based on general sizing consensus and it still seems a bit comically large. The thickness of the material obviously doesn't scale down, so it takes force to close my hand, and the fingers are...flat? Not enough volume vertically, and too long. The non-thumb fingers are disproportionately long compared to the thumb, or the placement of the thumb pocket is too far down, which results in not just an inch of extra material on the fingertips, but the glove slipping out of place as soon as you stop clenching. I was on the verge of returning mine until I tried a clubmate's broken-in pair, which was workable, so I guess we'll see if it improves.
