This item was used by my son in middle school physical education class, perhaps 5 or 6 times. There are faint blue marks, likely from the gauntlets rubbing against each other. I'm selling it now that he no longer needs it for class. It's still in good condition and perfectly usable. The name is written in the designated area, and I'm selling it as is. I've listed it as size M, but considering it was used in middle school and that it fits my hand perfectly (I am a female kendo expert), the size is appropriate.
