Needs to be broken in December 4, 2023 Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Vancouver   I got medium ones, my hands are slightly smaller than the gloves.  The material needs to be broken in a little to fit and hold sideswords nicely with finger gripping the hilt. Was this review helpful to you?

Great gloves for SCA Cut and Thrust November 2, 2023 Reviewer: Andrew Malloy from COLUMBIA CITY, IN United States   I returned the Red Dragon gloves and switched to the High Guard gloves.  For the small difference in price, these are a HUGE upgrade. The break-in period was rather quick and the protection is adequate for lower calibration long sword. They are super comfortable and made well.  They do fit a bit tight on my Darkwood guard, but are still quite usable.  I've been recommending these as a good all-around glove.

Excellent Glove for Synthetics and Complex Hilts August 13, 2023 Reviewer: Alec Martinez from CLERMONT, FL United States   I have been using this glove primarily for use in TSL, and am very happy.  The dexterity in after a short break in is excellent, and the protection provided is perfect for the weapons above.  My wife has also been using these, and states that she feels much safer than in her heavy lacrosse gloves when sparring. There is some less protected area on the current model of the side of the index finger that is normally covered by a guard, and does become more rigid when flexed to grip a hilt, but may be a note to keep in mind if you tend to fight with weapons with less of a guard.  The profile of the glove is also larger, particularly at the cuff, than some other gloves I have used for synthetics, but I do not feel that this has affected my likelihood of being tagged in this region, and certainly not enough where I would stop using the gloves. Overall, these are excellent gloves, and are my new default glove for synthetics, complex hilts, and TSL. Was this review helpful to you?

These are great for the price August 9, 2023 Reviewer: Rich Hastings from springfield, OR United States   They comfortable and solidly made. I only have a few protection concerns that should be covered by most complex hilts or knuckle bows. all in all I am super excited to get them broken in and see how they sand up and if they shift or break.
