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."


XXXS = Less than 5.5"(140mm)
XXS = 6"(150mm) - 6-3/8" (160mm)


Reference ONLY: Middle Finger Tube Length:
Your finger length will not line up exactly with the tube. Everyones fingers length are slightly different and the gloves perform fine. Hand width is more important.

Love the design but wear out quickly
Great for rapier. Dexterous enough to allow mid bout grip change or changing hands. Just with they were more durable.

Great Gloves
I for the mediums according to the size chart and they don't seem too big for me. I guess it depends on the shape of your hands. I can easily hold my sword during training and sparring. I haven't taken a strong hit, but a glancing blow from a Scottish broadsword was barely felt through the padding.
