These gloves though large and unwieldy looking are quite dexterous and fit well enough to not impede your movements. I am not crazy about the lacing system but altogether these are the only gloves I will use. They fit a bit small, I ordered large and they barely covered my fingertips, but this is good for my uses as I need to have full independent finger movement. They are also extremely light yet tough enough for any purpose.

These guards are comfortable but a bit lightweight for full kick blocks. The sizes were also a bit off, I ordered large and could barely wear them with hand guards (they went about two inches past my elbows). At 6'1'', I figured large would be small on me if anything so if you plan on using hand gear with these, consider going down a size. Even with the size issue, they fitted my needs and I would definitely order them again - just mediums next time.
