Update:
Okay these gauntlets are a very pleasant surprise! 
They fit my bear paws very well and they offer great mobility. I did some practice Meisterhau, especially the Scheitelhau and the cuff did not impede my action in the least. These are good for both harnischfechten and blossfechten but I'll use them for harnischfechten since there is no padding whatsoever. After I finish my new gauntlets for blossfechten, I'll change out the suede inserts with the deerskin ones from my old franken-gaunts.
These are a sweet deal Sir Patrick! I'd get a pair while they are in stock for this great price.
I give them two thumbs up! 
I concur with Sir Brian’s assessment. My gauntlets arrived yesterday and I too was pleasantly surprised with the quality, particularly considering the price!
I was able to handle both my poleaxe and Hanwei/Tinker blunt longsword with ease and fluidity. I didn’t experience binding or pinching. Time will tell how they hold up in the long run, but for only $120 it’s hard to go wrong with these gauntlets.
I see no way to make them legal for SCA rattan “heavy” combat. However, they could be made legal for SCA cut & thrust longsword combat by re-gloving with a little padding.
I showed them to our health and safety director at work and suggested they become standard PPE. While he seemed impressed, I doubt that H&S will be covering the cost any time soon.
