A pleasantly surprising set, I was original skeptical of fingered gauntlets for their supposed lack of protection around the fingers, so I bought a pair of clamshell gauntlets instead, which while are decent, were bulky and very heavy.

Even for a manlet like me who barely exceeds 5'8, these gauntlets fit my hands very well and are light and comfortable compared to the clamshell gauntlets, I have small hands and to my surprise the gloves actually fit perfectly, I didn't even need to put on an extra glove. As well as looking cool, they are very protective and cover over and under your forearm with the ability to adjust to your own comfort. As well as granting me the ability of freer movement with my fingers to handle a. shield or weapon with greater ease.

The only personal criticism would be the right glove is a little tighter to clench than the left, but it's really an insignificant complaint. This piece of armour came heavily greased compared to some other armour I brought so you'll need to take some time to rub the excess off with a rag.

Overall it's fine piece of gothic armour that any 15th century fan should not let go by if they intend on putting together a late German Knight set. The best MFC purchase I've made yet as of this review.
