I received a Rugged Rosary as a gift. My son is experiencing some personal difficulty and has a devotion to St Michael. He uses this rosary now in the spiritual battle he is in engaged in and the rosary brings him closer to Mary and St Michael giving him a sense of peace. It is excellently made and feels strong in your hands.

Great quality, rugged and inspiring.

I was introduced to Rugged Rosaries a few weeks ago when I was asked to bless an Ashes to Ashes Rosary at a Wake Service. After blessing the rosary, the family told me how much their loved one had cherished the rosary as they struggled with a difficult medical journey. I was so inspired by the experience I knew I needed to consider getting a Rugged Rosary. Since then I have ordered the Catholic Gentleman Rosary and the Ashes to Ashes Rosary. Outstanding in quality, the rosaries inspire me daily to pray for the many needs that I encounter, both in my civilian and military ministry.

I read many positive reviews about Rugged Rosaries so my expectations were high when I ordered. I was skeptical that any rosary was that good. The rosary exceeded my expectations. Great job !! Pray on !!

Working in the law enforcement field that I've found, regardless of what heartbreak, violence & indifference I see in society, I work daily to keep my faith alive - and I know I am not alone. For me, that is where my rosary comes in. Now, I've always tried to carry a rosary in my pocket as a reminder of there being something greater despite what loss I experience or what atrocity I witness. However, I've found it extremely difficult due to the rosary turning into a kinked & tangled mess. With that being said, a couple years ago I found "Rugged Rosaries" and bought one for myself to test out to carry in my pocket. While obviously larger than your common chain rosary, it still fits very well in a front pocket (or purse) without adding a ton of bulk. AND due to its size and easy of use, I bought one for both my parents as my father had pretty severe arthritis at the time, but was insistent on praying a daily rosary. While using a traditional rosary he struggled a bit with working the smaller beads in his hands, but after receiving his "Rugged Rosary" he had MUCH less trouble working the beads. In short he was delighted. After carrying my RR for a couple years, I decided to upgrade mine to a metal bead rosary. I can't begin to explain how happy I am with my Catholic Gentleman's Rosary. The beads are slightly smaller than the resin beads and has even less bulk in my front pocket. And after showing it to our parish priest, he wanted the website link to buy one for himself. Obviously NO buyers remorse from me. In closing, if you're looking to find something tangible to rest your hand on during the day to "reassure" yourself there is something greater awaiting us I would strongly recommend a purchase of one of these rosaries. God Bless to all who visit here and thank you Rugged Rosaries for an exceptional product!! Keep up the good work!!

I have searched and tried many different rosaries over the years since Christ brought me back to His church. While each contained certain elements or pieces I very much loved, not one of them ever seemed to be the right one. I’ve had a rosary before with the crucifix this comes with and absolutely loved the cucifix, but the rosary itself didn’t feel right when I held it. My very first rugged rosary was the silver and black triple threat, which was a gift and while I loved the black and silver color theme, it was very lightweight and not having Our Father beads was a downside. With this rosary I found every quality and item I’ve sought combined into one weapon. With medals specific to my spiritual journey, the crucifix with relic, and weighted and beautiful beads(our fathers included), they form a weapon to wield that is the like of the sword of the king reforged.

This is my first purchase but will not be my last. It is exactly what I wanted (a rosary that feels good and won't break), and I got it. God bless.

I opted for this Rosary because of the all metal beads. I wanted a bit of heft. I was not disappointed! It is also very pleasing to the eye. My priest even commented on its beauty when I asked him to bless it!

This was my first purchase from Rugged Rosaries, but I'm sure it will not be my last.

This was a birthday gift for my husband, it was the only thing on his wish list and he's so pleased with it!
He'd owned a rugged rosary before and gifted it to his dad, so he missed having his weapon in his pocket, despite having many other rosaries, it's his favorite! He's back to his daily rosary routine.

Ordering was easy and straightforward. Getting emails telling me my product was being shipped and that it was delivered was amazing, since I live in an area prone to package theft.

The product itself is exactly as pictured and described. Strong and sturdy, I expect never to need to replace it.

Got this for my fiancé as a wedding gift and couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. High quality product, excellent customer service. Love the options for customization too! This rosary should last for a long time.

I travel for work and take this and a small Bible with me on the road. Really excellent quality.

You all really do live up to your name. This gentlemanly rosary is, indeed, a rugged rosary. I love how they can be used by soldiers, too . Anyways, thank you for delivering to myself and others such a beautiful and high-quality product. May God bless you all in this company :).

This rosary should last forever, top quality.

This is hands down my favorite out of all the rosaries I have ever owned. It has heft to it and feels like it will last a lifetime. I highly recommend rugged rosaries and particularly the catholic gentleman rosary.

This has got to be one of the BEST rosaries made for men of faith! I had a difficult time choosing what style I would go with, but "Be a man, Be a Saint" spoke to me. This rosary is built like a tank! A definite helpful reminder when praying. I have a feeling this will not be my only one.

I am very very pleased with the Rosary I ordered. God Bless this Company and it's employees. After breaking about 2-3 Rosaries while praying, I had to find a Rosary well made. Your website popped up, and after reading the reviews, I purchased one on the spot! Grateful I did! It was as said, and that means alot to me. In closing, Never underestimate the power of a Man who prayers the Rosary...

This is one of the finest rosaries on the market for a guy. Well built and rugged. I had it blessed the day I got it and have prayed it every day since. If you are looking for a nice, well constructed rosary look no further. The only thing I wish I would have done was added some medals to it. Very nice and a great company. God bless

I just love my three RRs. I highly recommend your rosaries to all who notice mine. I love the feel in my hand, the look, the weight. Thank you for making such a quality product!!

I got four of these for my groomsmen, and they are absolutely amazing. I love them and I know that my groomsmen will!!

Arrived sooner than I anticipated. Well built. Thanks for such a great product.

My wife recently purchased the "Catholic Gentleman" as a gift for me. The Rosary arrived quickly even with a change in the Crucifix. I am very pleased with this gift and will treasure it for many years to come. Thank you for your product, Jim

The Rugged Rosaries are the absolute best rosaries available. Not only are they incredibly strong but they are beautiful to look at, especially the rosaries with metal beads. I have five myself and pray with them almost constantly. I would recommend the Rugged Rosaries to any Catholic interested in saying the rosary with devotion.

I gave the rosary to my husband as a Father's Day gift. He loved it. I was impressed with the quality. It truly is a rugged rosary.

I love my Catholic gentleman rosary. It is truly beautiful and is much needed in my life. Praying the rosary after a hard day’s work allows me to remain in peace and communion within myself and with God. Praise God for Rugged Rosaries!

My husband has wanted a rugged rosary for a long time. I got it for him for his first Father’s Day. He loved this one due to the relic and the metal beads. He is a big guy so small rosaries fit weird in his hands. He loves the weight. The product itself is excellent craftsmanship and exactly as shown. Shipping was quicker than expected too! I would buy from here again to support these people!

The shipping was extremely fast and quality was excellent. Highly recommend.

This is an amazing rosary! Delivery was quick, and customer service has been very helpful! I am very satisfied with RR, and hope to buy more products in the future!

I am very happy with both rosaries I purchased. They will last me forever.

Received the Rosary faster than expected. This is a gift for my brother who is in the Army. I could tell when I held it- that it will hold up well in all terrains while he carries it everywhere he goes and has practical use if needed to use the paracord. He received it yesterday and he was beyond excited; as he is new to the faith. Thanks for making a quality piece that will help him in his journey ahead for whatever comes his way.

I was completely surprised when I opened my new rosary. It was much bigger, heavier and beautiful than expected. Not only will my new rosary enhance my devotion to our Blessed Mother, it will also be a sign to others that praying the rosary is indeed a "manly" activity.

Wonderful, solid rosary. Great gift, especially for young people. You can also add a nice medal such as the Miraculous Medal. Also consider Fr. Benedict Groeschel's Rosary: Chain of Hope and the writings of ST. Louis de Montfort and ST. Maximilian Kolbe to help understand and bring new depth to the mysteries and prayers.

I absolutely love this rosary! As a first responder and active man, every rosary I have used in the past rapidly fell apart. The construction is stout and gives me the feeling I am prepared for battle in this broken world. Do not hesitate to purchase!

My rosary is an essential piece of equipment I carry with me everyday as a deputy (just as my duty pistol.) As soon as I have down time to pray, I see people look and admire my rosary and respect my prayers. The heaviness of this rosary demonstrates a good show of force and each bead matches the integrity of my prayers. Thank you so much.

Received the rosary I ordered. This was for a GodSon who heads off to college. I received one just like it from my daughter and Son (in Law) for my birthday. Everyone I have shown the rosary is very impressed. Any rosary is wonderful, these are fantastic!

A solid manly rosary that will last forever. Had it blessed by my priest who's father was a paratrooper and he wanted to know where to get one. He was impressed by its solid fell and weight compared to other rosaries.

Thank you for the faith and passion that is put into this age old prayer that keeps souls within the Bark of Peter; the Catholic Faith. A joy to use, this Rosary is a hallmark of my day. Thank you!

I have ordered several paracord rosaries and all have been high quality and have lived up to their name.
They make great gifts.

I have now obtained several rosaries, and finger rosaries with paracord. All have been of excellent quality and workmanship. I also received excellent advise and service by the staff, they really exceeded all my expectation.
I highly recommend Rugged Rosaries.

In the past I have had rosaries that have broken, this one will last a lifetime.

I have been a customer for a few years. These Rosaries make the most wonderful gifts.

Better than the description!

I ordered the Gentleman's Rosary for a First Holy Communion gift. I changed the color of the paracord and substituted skulls for the "Our Father" beads. This rosary was made so well I wanted to keep it for myself! My friend's son (whom I bought the rosary for) loved it. Needless to say, this rosary will last a lifetime when many other First Holy Communion gifts will break shortly after receiving them. I have now purchased a total of 4 rosaries from Rugged Rosaries and I have been extremely impressed with all of them. Their customer service is also exceptional. Highly recommended!

I see that my son Joshua has also left a review below and claims converts to RR. I guess I am one: he recently asked me to deliver a RR to a mutual friend at church and I admired it so much I immediately ordered one for myself. I break rosaries as a pastime, it seems, but I doubt I can break this stainless steel beauty!
Thank you, RR for your great service and quality items!

My purchase exceed expectations. Thank you. Keep up the excellent craftsmanship.

I ordered a catholic gentleman edition Rosary. And it is just perfect!

I am extremely happy that I purchased this rosary. When I opened the package and held this rosary in my hand I was immediately impressed by its weight and craftsmanship. It appears that it’s almost indestructible and well worth the price you sell it for. I am proud to own this Catholic Gentleman Rosary, thank you.

The weight and the feel are absolutely superb. I'm not sure what the metal beads are -- I'm hoping stainless steel so they will stay looking wonderful like they are now (that might be a good information addition to the product page). They are much more substantial than I was expecting, giving this the perfect weight and feel. I have a couple of other "manly" Rosaries, but this is by far my favorite to use.

I'm a RR fan and have purchased lots of beautiful rosaries for myself and friends and "converted" many more to switching to a RR. The Catholic Gentleman Rosary is by far the most beautiful rosary I have purchased yet. The metal beads are beautiful and even more weighty and remind you it's time to pray.

Pictures don't do any RR justice, but especially this one. I don't know how the metal beads will hold up over long term use, but that is an adventure and a challenge I am willing to accept.

Great gift for a special occasion. Big hit!

I bought these as a fathers day gift for my husband, they came much quicker than i anticipated and my daughter demanded we give them to him straight away. I was a little worried as they were a lot heavier than I expected but he really liked them a lot. They were very well made and solid, he actually liked fact that they were so heavy- and truly enjoyed the little prayer card that was inside.

This is an excellent product and definitely the manliest rosary I have ever seen.

Rugged Rosaries gave me excellent service! They prepared the rosary and shipped it quickly, keeping me informed each step of the way.

The rosary came quickly and was of superb workmanship. I do not doubt that it could last a lifetime. I love praying with it!

Thanks Rugged Rosary, for a quality product!

I've been looking for a nice, masculine rosary for a while now. Figured I'd give this one a try. Not two days after I placed my order, and I see a fat, happy envelope in my mailbox. "That COULDN'T be," I thought... Surely, it was! It's heavy, gents. The beads and crucifix are of decent quality metal (no sharp edges from lazy molds). The cording seems sturdy enough but only time will tell.

If you'be been pondering a rosary purchase, men SERIOUSLY give this one your UTMOST consideration. It's highly unlikely you'll regret the purchase!

A rosary that is made perfectly for men!

Great great great!!!! Thank you!!!! I like it a lot, perfect for me!!!

Beautiful and masculine! I highly recommend this rosary to any Catholic gentleman!

I love the rosary I purchased. Well made, attractive, masculine, everything that I was looking for. A keep it with me in my bag everyday in case I get the chance to pray, and I never have to be concerned that it will get damaged. Get yourself one!

I wanted my son to have a manly rosary to carry with him everyday and this rosary is perfect. He loves the beautiful crucifix and heavy beads. I love this rosary and would love one to carry myself. You really outdid yourselves.

We gave this as a gift to my son's confirmation sponsor and he loved it. I would recommend this to everyone.

I love everything about it. The added weight of the metal beads has a nice feel to it.

I gave this as a graduation gift and it was perfect. My order came very quickly and there were no problems. I would definitely go through this company again!

The rosary is super rugged and manly. Got to me really quick. Love it!

Got this for my boyfriend as an adult confirmation gift. He loved that this rosary comes with a crucifix, instead of the cross, silver beads, and great quality made the gift an absolute hit! I added the St. Michael charm as well which was a nice personal touch. Will for sure be recommending this company. My order was received within a week, no problems at all! Definitely will shop here again.

The metal beads and large cross give the rosary a satisfying heftiness and sense of strength. It has exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this for any guy.

I really love my rugged rosary! Great craftsmanship!

Perfect

The weight of this rosary reminds one of the power of prayer. My Mom and I got this for my Dad's confirmation; it is a wonderful rosary. It is a great gift for men. The Rugged Rosary team doesn't dissapoint.

This Rosary is amazing. Gave it to our son-in-law who is also amazing. It was a great fit for him. It is heavy, about 5 1/2 oz. So just be aware if you arent expecting It to be man sized and weight you may be surprised. It is beautiful. The service was also super great. We definitely will order again.

Saw this and had to have one! Got it blessed immediately! Keep in my pocket and appreciate the size. It is hard to forget about!!!

Gave as confirmation gift, he opened them and said woah, these are cool. Second pair I’ve purchased and been happy with.

This is the first rosary I have purchased from Rugged Rosaries and it is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I got this as a gift for my Godson for his confirmation. It's so well made, solid and the perfect rosary for men. The bonus prayer cards and images are the icing on the cake. I will definitely be ordering more from this site - the quality and craftsmanship is top notch!

This is the most beautiful rosary made for a man and the greatest quality I’ve ever seen.
Would highly recommend to every man out there.
I plan ordering 2 more for my grandsons.

Best tool I have ever used to get closer to G-d and to understand Our Mothers place in life. I am greatful for this amazing Rosary!!!! Yah bless!

My high school son loves his Rugged Rosary! It arrived just fine and in time for his birthday. Now my husband wants one, too :) Thank you for offering a wonderful, high quality rosary!
