Dark Knight Steel Spike Arm Gauntlets Review
I ordered this bracer set for a Batman Costume.
Less than a day after i had them i noticed how one of the spike plates was actually beginning to separate from the leather.
To remedy this, i pounded all the rivets on the things flat to ensure they were holding tight, then i poked holes down the lengths of the spike plates and wove thin black leather string down the face and in-between the spikes in an X pattern.
The end result makes the gauntlets seem really well held-together.
Also, to remedy the issue in the first review, i cut the elastic strap nearest the wrist and sewed on some velcro to join it better to my forearms.

Happy, but not totally satisfied - D. Benway -
I bought these for my Halloween costume and they looked great! I got lots of compliments. However, they are very loose. The elastic straps seem designed to go over bulky clothing (i.e.- a leather jacket as depicted on their box) and the one adjustable strap is not enough to hold them in place. One of the elastic straps came unsewn from the leather in the first 15 minutes I was wearing it, also. Lastly, be careful, the points on the bracers are sharper than I had anticipated. On the plus side, the set I received was actually the Dark Knight licensed bracers. Overall, they looked great and served the purpose, but were not entirely what I was hoping for.

I was fairly happy with these, in the picture the guy has a long sleeve on, so where the straps are it is open, the 3 steel plates are thinner than I thought but I am overall happy with them
