I measured my daughters head,ordered a small it ended up being too small so I reordered in a medium and it still did not fit! I paid $2.95 to have the whole sparring package ship to me but when I go to ship just the heargear back it costs $8 and I have to pay for Karate Depot to ship me the new size on top of it. Now I am out $27.99 for the head gear plus the $8 to return and how much for the new one that doesn't even fit to be shipped back to me? Will not purchase from here again! I have never had a company charge you to exchange an item!  

We received it 4 days early, It looked great, fit great and worked great (in limited use). It doesn't show in the picture but the punches have a second layer of padding on the inside right in the area the seems likely to need it most. We are very satisfied! Thanks Karatedepot.com  

I decided to get my gear here, instead of through my school, where it's way more expensive. The Lightning gear fits great, is well padded, comfortable, looks great, and is very durable.  

I just got done fighting with the gear about one hour ago and I have to say i like it. The hands form to you and they feel great. The kickers could have more protection by the toes.  

This set is just awesome! The sets that most places and dojos sell are way too expensive. I found these, noticed the price, and bought them. I was really surprised with the quality! I have had them for about 2 years now and I have only 1 tiny rip. These are great and last forever.  

Great equipment. I take karate with my 9 year old son in a multi-aged and level class. Lots of guys in the class tend to get rough. I am really tiny, but I feel that I am well protected with this (they have not broke anything yet haha.) I highly recommend this set!  

I ordered this set because of the price. The gear is clean and everyone seems to respond to the color of the blue set. I am happy with this set and will buy again, it is light and very flexible and seems to be just what my son needed for his sparring.  

A great quality equipment for a comparable price! The order was placed during the busiest time of the Christmas season and was received in plenty of time to be wrapped and placed under the tree for a Christmas surprise. I recommended it to two other friends who ordered and received the same prompt service. Thanks, Santa!!  

I bought this product unsure on how well it would hold up. But it has far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend.  

I love this set. My only problem is with the hand pads. I believe they should cover more of the forearm  

I looked around to see what others were using when my son was about to start sparring. I saw the Lightning Gear and set out to find it. I found it here at a great price. Customer Service was great--they corrected my order before it got sent out when I made a mistake on the color ordered. Now that it is here, we're very happy with the gear! (Mom could do without sparring.)  

Very good gear considering the price. Holds up AMAZINGLY and is practically maintenance free. Would highly recommend.  

This set is a very good value for the price. Bought individually, the total would be close to $100. Lightning products are very good quality, are easy to clean, and are true to size (in terms of what is published in the sizing charts).  

A lot of people at my dojo wear lightning, that's why I bought it. It's works well and easy to clean.
The price at karate depot made me purchase here.  

I'm not happy with this company or how they run it at all. I ordered this sparring set and the shoes are impossible to put on. They don't show you how they are made to give you an idea. My son's foot wouldn't fit in the opening and had we forced it the shoes would have torn. Not only that but I had to re-register my account as they had lost all my information. Yet continued to send me emails on what they wanted to push people to buy.
