Not much to complain about. Save your hands get em.
Fits my large hands. Could use finger sliders to avoid damaging the material on your fingers but with practice you can keep your fingers off the concrete and you have more mobility in the hands without them when you aren’t sliding or slowing down. Very glad I got these makes me feel much safer. When crashing I always go hands first so the slide pucks take a fair amount of impact force, then your onto your knees, arms and hips which need their own protection. Even if you don’t plan on getting fancy with sliding I feel every longboarder should wear these or similar to stop yourself on the hill that’s way faster than you thought it would be.

So-so construction,
Gloves are solid enough for sliding, but the materials are not sufficiently robust to protect back/sides of fingers in a crash. I did an unintentional superman at around 12 mph after tangling with a storm drain and touched down with my right pinky. Fabric on the knuckle more or less vaporized and left me with some gnarly road rash. Avoiding that is why I wear gloves... Especially at this price, these need more durable fabric or overlays on the back of the hand. Also, the stitching on one index finger tip missed the edge. It's not a hug thing, but it does show subpar quality control. I wouldn't purchase these again.

Exceptional gloves
When I got my freebord about 3 weeks ago, I immediately knew that I was going to need slide gloves. So I shopped a bit and I found these. I also found another pair by triple 8 with a finger and thumb puck as well, but I chose the more dexterous option.The puck does what it’s supposed to, slide, and provides just enough friction to create a point on which you can pivot. The fingertips are indeed Kevlar but it’s thin, and the thread retaining the Kevlar is not itself Kevlar. That being said, if the gloves are being used properly you won’t need them. The puck has hook Velcro on the back, and the gloves themselves have the loop pads on the palms. The palm side of all of the fingers are leather, however only the index finger of each glove has leather on the back as well. This gives the gloves breatheability that I quite like.I bought these as a protective measure for my hands, not as a platform for trick slides, and they have done this job nicely. The other gloves might be better for learning, as they won’t get ripped up as soon.

4/5 stars because they shred!
Got the right size. The straps and comfort are exactly what you want for bombing hills. The pucks coming with the gloves have lasted through hundreds of slides throughout the summer, and I’m looking to replace the pucks now. The durability of the fingertips is my only deduction. The Kevlar fingertips are A1 and I scrub the concrete waves because of this, the touchscreen accessibility still works but is iffy (I take responsibility for this because I love running my hands on the streets.) Recommend.

Watch out for poor seam stitching!
First time out on his longboard with these and the fingertip seams ripped on my son. The pucks are great, they are comfortable, but the construction of the reinforced tips should be much better than it is. We ended up returning them.

Questionable Quality
After only TWO OUTINGS there's already a hole in the ring finger on the right hand. Mind you, I'm new to the sport, so I was NOT going at high-speeds. Other fingertips are already starting to fray. The rest of the glove works fine, pucks are holding up well, they're a bit breathable, comfortable (as far as new gloves go), but they're already showing more wear than I'm okay with. Maybe I got a bad pair, but I'm not interested in getting a new set to find out.

Avoid!
I'm a normal skater learning to longboard as well so these are the gloves I chose.As a novice i want even going that fast but guaranteed, if any part of the glove other then the puck touches the ground, it instantly disintegrates. Almost unbelievably. I'm regular and am learning copeman slides. You can see the wear in the photos between untouched to about 20 low speed coleman slides later.Please brotatoes, get any other pair and avoid this brand like the plague.

Much better than I expected
These gloves honestly ended up being much higher quality than I expected them to be. They are mad of a combination of leather, elastic/polyester, and kevlar woven polyester for the fingertips. The fingers are pretty thin, but they fit me decently well. They seem stiff at first, but they just need a bit of breaking in, and they start to get pretty comfortable.

Expensive and rip easily
Nice gloves, but they have holes in just a few uses all I can say is I’m a bit disappointed in the price :(

Minderwertige Qualität
Leider sind die Handschuhe sehr empfindlich … nach dem ersten Sturz waren sie bei mir total an der Rückseite zerrissen. Kann ich nicht weiter empfehlen.

Vernünftig
Gute Handschuhe zum sliden. Ob sie das ewige Leben haben wage ich zu bezweifeln, starke Abnutzung, gerade an den Fingerkuppen sind nach 5 mal Gebrauch schon zu sehen.

The right hand pointer finger was a little bit too tight, and also torn a bit
