I got these last minute during the week which I was suppose to go paintballing. It got shipped and delivered within two day! The top part is a flexible but durable plastic and it withstood a couple of hits from friends. Since their half gloves though, my fingers were left exposed which was actually a good thing since it allows me to pull the trigger without any hindrance. Minus one star because the left glove ripped where the velcro is after only one day of use. But for the price, I guess it's alright.For the price, it's just right. BREAK THEM IN A BIT, PEOPLE. Its hard abs plastic, what did you think? Yes it can hurt your knuckles a bit, but you need to remember, these are cheap gloves.EDIT - 11/21/13 - With some use and a few punches to something, it's worn the ABS plastic armor down a bit, and a few washes help too. They are great for deflecting that one blow to your hands that sting like no tomorrow!Gloves with kinda hard impact design. The hardened plastic is raised so can dampen the impact and it's also got air flow looking cut outs so that's good during warm seasons. I love the choice of size unlike some other gloves that are just ment for average size hands these will fit big hands like mine,(no intentions of that kind of stuff in this review lol), and the material is kinda pillowy so it's very soft making the handling of your marker or whatever your outdoors game thing is allot more comfortable. Buy it and enjoy luxury in an intimidating way.Fits well and all that but the part that should protect your hand is, very hard and kind of sticks into your skin. It's a cheap gloves so I am not going to complain much.It's awesome it's half plastic and half cloth and has a grippy feel to it so very nice only con is u don't want to buy this unless u actually have large hands because if the plastic doesn't fit your hand it will hurt but if u match the size it's a good buyThey were protective, comfortable, and got the job done. There must have been a problem with mine because a part of the hard material with stab through and poke my hand. A minor problem, but the only negative.These gloves work great in battle and have protected my hands very well. The reason i gave it 4/5 stars was because the armor on top can get stuck on pockets/pouches and will cause you not to be able to get what you need out of it. Overall great gloves!These are comfortable. But I recommend wearing a pair of gloves underneath.Not a big pair. Just like a dollar pair of gloves. The one thing I didn't like is out of the 2 pairs I bought one of them were gray underneath. And the other 3 were black.
