This Rosary is as rugged as advertised and consequently very easy to carry and use. Even inside a coat pocket as I walk, I can quickly distinguish the main (metal) bead from the others and also change the ring from one finger to another to keep track of the mystery being prayed. One thing, though. I have VERY big hands and the initial ring that came on the Rosary would not fit over my thumb. Fortunately, there was an easy fix since I had a larger key ring that I wasn't using any longer. I substituted it for the original. My Rosary is made on the Irish penal style and is quite handsome with the green paracord. I recommend your Rosaries without hesitation.

I've purchased several of these. I put some on key chains, a couple hung on my rear view mirror is n my car and some to family members. They are great looking and definitely rugged.

I have ordered several of these Irish Penal Rosaries for myself, friends and family. Great quality and customer service! Will definitely order again in the future.

Love all of your products. The only thing I would change is the type/quality of the ring on the end of the rosary. The ring looks cheap. I’d prefer a solid stainless steel ring. Keep up the good work. Love all of your other products!

I carry my Irish penal rosary everywhere. It is extremely well made 😀

I bought this for a young friend of mine of Irish descent, hoping he will carry it with him. I love RR customization program; I added a memento mori skull bead. I love the handmade, one-off nature of these items, assuring they are not produced by the bajillions in some slave labor factory in a far-off land.

This pocket Rosary is extremely well made and will last forever.

Very much like my new Rosary. Appreciate the easy customization. (I chose the purple diamonds color for the paracord). Love the toughness of the materials. Thanks. Had it blessed at Mass this morning.

Very happy with the compact rosary. Liked it so much I purchased one for every member of the family and gave one as a confirmation present. Excellent quality and added some personal medallions to customize per family member. Mine sits in the car and I reach for it on every commute...traffic doesn't bother me as much anymore!

I was very pleased with the compact rosaries, I have ordered.

The Irish Penal rosary is part if my EDC (every day carry) gear

This is really rugged but looks fantastic. Perfect for to carry in my jacket pocket to use whenever I want. This will last I would say a lifetime. Looks great, fantastic quality. I will honk I will get a few more for gifts.

Purchased this as a part of my RCIA proceedings, and chose the Irish Penal Rosary for it's ease of carry and it's historical value. Rugged Rosaries makes a wonderful new addition to my everyday carry items, and it's more than tough enough for the job.

Best rosaries around. Absolutely love it. I took up running as a hobby and decided I’d like to pray the rosary whilst running and this works perfect for that. My second rosary from this company. Won’t buy them elsewhere.

Beautiful rosary! Rugged Rosaries is a major part of our family's Catholic spirituality. Their products help us with the good fight!

I received a very similar rugged rosary as a gift a few years ago. I love it so much I carry with me everywhere I go without fail. It brings me so much comfort.
I wife and I agreed to only give each other one small gift to each other this Christmas. I Purchased one for her and she loves it. I can’t wait to buy some for my children and another one for myself. They are truly awesome.

It was sent as a gift, I wish it had come with a better description of symbols on crucifix enclosed.

This is a great high quality rosary, highly recommend.

Great product ... super impressed with the detail and quality

Second purchases of rugged rosaries and couldnt be happier. They’re very customer service oriented, always ready to help, and the rosaries are beautiful. Looking forward to gifting some items to family and friends.

This is actually my 2nd purchase I thought I lost my original set. I ordered my second set and soon afterward found my first set.
Both are well made. Excellent service and fast delivery. I would highly recommend rugged rosaries

I really like it. It seems sturdy, I got one for my friend too and he really enjoys it. I look forward to getting more products

I ordered 2 of the Irish Penal Rosaries and Pouches for my sons. They are very well made and very sturdy. The pouches are perfect size for the penal rosaries!

Very timely, great quality, no qualms.

Once again I am so pleased with the high quality of my rosary from this wonderful company! This is my second purchase and it will surely not be the last. My Irish penal rosary is sturdy with a lovely green paracord that will surely last for years to come. This rosary is big, so it’s easy to handle, even for those with small hands like me. I also love the pouches these rosaries come with, as they are sturdy as well. Keep up the outstanding work!

Both of my Rugged Rosary’s have been a humble balance of rugged and gorgeous. Not to mention the extremely quick delivery time. Thank you for your work, God bless.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have been carrying a nylon cord chaplet for years now, but needed something just a little tougher. Strong. Durable. Excellent craftsmanship. Keep doing what you do! Thank you!

Sturdy and beautiful. I bought two for my kids, who are young and rambunctious enough to destroy more delicately-constructed rosaries, and have no such worries with these. They love them. Thank you!

Quick delivery. I bought one for myself and one for my son, who is currently deployed overseas. I replaced the ring with one a size larger in order to fit over my fingers more comfortably. Beautiful product. Thank you!

I love this rosary. High quality. I love the penal rosary. feels great in my hands and fits super well in my hands. Its bigger then what I expected however that isn't a hang up for me. I can't say enough about the quality. 10/10 I will definitely be ordering more from these guys. Shipping was fast and they even included some freebies, which is the sign of a caring company if you ask me. Keep up the good work. So happy.

Great craftsmanship and feels very sturdy in the hand!!

This is a great rosary to use when saying one’s rosary in the car. I once had a full sized rosary get stuck in the steering wheel..(I did get it untangled before there was an accident.) It helps me keep focused to move the ring on the rosary from finger to finger. This is my second Irish Penal rosary. I believe I lost my first one on a long walk. I wonder if anyone has thought of putting the Our Father bead on the end of the Rosary closest to the ring. In the car, it is easier to manipulate the rosary that way. I use the large knot for the Our Father because of this. Try it out! Thanks also for customizing the color! God Bless!

My second Penal rosary This one is for my Dad who is ill

Thanks

I BOUGHT 2 AND CHOSE A Triple Threat™ Pardon Crucifix TO MAKE ALL POWERFUL.

My husband likes it and I bought it for him because the cross had interesting symbolism on it.

I bought 2. One myself and one for my nephew who is about to enter the church.
I like the compactness and the design. I like the cross design.
I like the history behind it and what it can teach us especially for someone like my nephew to learn.
Great job with the delivery. I plan to buy more over time.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for making a high quality, durable Rosary. Exceeds expectations...but like other reviewers, you may want to add an option for a larger finger ring, minor improvement on a quality Rosary.

I wanted a small rosary that I could carry with me every day in my back pocket, and something strong enough to put up with the daily abuse. In this Irish penal rosary, Rugged Rosaries has made something that suits the purpose perfectly. I also love the history and symbolism of this particular crucifix. It is both a devotional aid and a conversation starter. Highly recommended!

A+ rosary - great for travel. It's in my backpack. I take it with me every week when I travel. Will buy more and pass out to family members.

Luv it!!! Everything is perfect! Thank you.

Ordered arrived faster than expected! Exceeded all expectations the photos don’t do it justice!! And have already ordered additional products! Excellent company would recommend you folks to everyone!

Order arrived faster than expected! love the crucifix that is on it! Thanks so much, will be buying from you in the future! Thanks again!

My order was processed in a timely fashion. When I had a question, it was answered quickly and politely. I will recommend Rugged Rosaries to my AOH and KofC brothers!

I ordered this as a gift for my husband and he loved it! Beautifully made and the cross is so unique. Thank you!!

What an awesome set of beads, have used them for a few days and they’ve been a great devotional aid for me

I like your products very much.! Alot of rosaries are of a fragile construction, but the several items I've purchased from your company are obviously made to last.Thanks.

Husband loves it! The product is beautiful and well made.

Communication with RR is great. Product delivered as fast as could be expected. Product materials appear to be as stated in promotional information. The only issue is the ring that is designed to go onto your fingers was not sheared off properly or filed down before attaching to the rosary. This over time as it travels through the loop caught on the cord material as well as on your fingers. This was remedied by replacing with a larger ring as I needed a little more wiggle room so to speak. This small issue prevents a 5 star but certainly does not detract from a Great Company, Great Mission Statement and I will certainly recommend to all who observe my beads.

Beautiful, custom rosary arrived on time to be a Christmas gift, even though we waited until the last minute to order. I didn’t know if they’d be able to accommodate our request for customization in time, but they did, and it’s beautiful! Plus, our son was able to get his new rosary blessed by His Eminence, Cardinal Harvey, who celebrated a wedding we attended the weekend after Christmas!

Thank you for the great work you do!

Exactly what I was looking for in a pocket rosary! Outstanding quality. I also appreciate the wonderful packaging. Many thanks.

These are the best and super well made!

I bought a pocket rosary several months ago. My 11 year old son liked it so much he asked for an identical product from Rugged Rosary. I was very happy to buy it for him and to make the purchase from such a great company! Highly recommend the product and the customer service.

I have ordered a few items from here, and each has been of great quality and as described. Thank you for the excellent experience.

Thanks for such an amazing product. I asked for a custom Irish Penal Rosary and ya'll delivered!! I feel better having this on me at all times. I have recommended Rugged Rosaries to many friends.

This was my second purchase from Rugged Rosaries and I have been once again delighted with the rapid, helpful customer service and superb craftsmanship. I asked for them to customize it with a different crucifix and it was still ready to ship almost immediately . Thank you and God bless you and all your work!

Thank you for the rosary. I have been looking for a simple, sturdy rosary that I could carry in my pocket with me at all times. I asked for it to be customized in a couple of different ways and these instructions were followed to a T. I have to say that all of my expectations were met and exceeded. Pricing is very reasonable, ordering was easy, shipping was fast, knots are and the rosary is built to last. Not to mention it is beautiful in its simplicity and function! Thank you and GOD Bless you!

Now, I will always be close to the Passion. I have no excuse to not pray. The symbols are so meaningful. The rosary is well made and designed. Thank you for your service.

I called with a custom order and they had it shipped the next day! I couldn't be happier with the service or the quality! Thanks again!

Thanks for the quick service, and a very cool rosary. I will carry this Irish Penal Rosary with me, and pray with it daily. Highly recommended!

I have used an Irish penal rosary for years and when I lost my 40 year old Connemara marble one I searched the internet for a replacement. There were several sources for what appeared to be similar rosaries. I ordered one but was greatly disappointed in the quality. As they say, they don't make them the way they used to. Then I found your site and ordered your model of the penal rosary. The construction is outstanding and I am gradually getting used to the feel of it as I say my rosary - it obviously feels different to my old marble beads. I also sense that the one inch ring is smaller than my old one. So, I have gone to Amazon (where else?) and ordered a small supply of 1 1/4 inch rings. Hopefully this will resolve my minor issue and I will go on to enjoy your wonderfully designed rosary for years to come.

This is the third set of your rosaries I've purchased, and the second penal rosary. I carry it with me daily and use during my dog walks. It fits my hand well and is easy to use, while still allowing me to control the dogs as we walk. They are also far more durable than other rosaries I own and do not come apart from being stuffed into pockets. I will continue to purchase your products as need arises. Your customer service is outstanding.

Prompt delivery...solid product...couldn't be happier

This the fourth rosary I have purchased and they were all awesome! They look amazing and stand up to everyday use quite well. I have also given two away as gifts and the recipients were very happy with them. I plan on purchasing more for my self and as gifts as these rosaries are the best I have ever came across.

The pocket rosary is my second rosary from this organization! I love the work they do. The beads fit my had and yet this pocket rosary can rest in my pocket. I keep my hands in my pocket most of the day and so I tend to fiddle with the beads. This is how I break rosaries, but not anymore. Additionally, the cross on this rosary is beautiful and the history of this type of rosary and the way it is prayed is quite moving. Thank you for the work you do at crafting these weapons of prayer! It's my sword and shield. Amen!

This Rosary is rugged, and the quality is very good. I bought a second for my Navy son to take on aircraft carrier deployment. I am Irish- American and the Penal Rosary is special.

I am very pleased with high quality of your rosaries. I love this Irish Penal rosary. Easy to carry and convenient when I'm driving. God bless your company and the work Our Lord is sure to empower you every day! Peace, -Fr. Mike

I bought this as a gift for my Irish Mom. It looks good! And it's in her favorite color, purple. She can now pray a decade as she has time for any of her 7 wayward children.

Excellent, I've never ordered anything from Rugged Rosaries and been disappointed

My order was customized the way i want it. It was delivered and received the way i ordered it to my specifications. Amazing product and customer service. This was my second order from this company.

I am never without them. I have just ordered a second rosary for a friend of mine who is a priest.
He carries a rosary ring, but wanted the penal rosary when he saw mine.

These make great graduation gifts!

Everything arrived on time just as I ordered it. I'm very happy with my new rosary, it's very sturdy, exactly what I needed.

very nicely made and sturdy

Very satisfied. When I got it the beads seemed too close together, but the nylon cords stretches so it was easy to stretch it a little and give the beads room to "travel". I find the penal rosary the best for driving and traveling. I have two and they are both good. This one is excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone. And it would be a great present to active duty and retired service members.

I purchased this for my sons car. We have several of your products, and love them. I have the car rosary. The items are beautifully done, well made and sturdy. Just beautiful!

I requested some customization (different beads) and asked for a response regarding what the additional cost would be. I was concerned that I never heard back for about 4 days until I received the "your order has shipped" email. My rosary arrived, as ordered within a week with not additional charge. A very nice product, very good service and a very good price.

The imagery on the crucifix is what drew me to this particular rosary. I received my rosary within four days (shipped cross country). The rosary is just as pictured. It is very well made and is truly a Rugged Rosary! I love the imagery from the crucifixion story included on the crucifix. I have a sense of peace while I'm carrying it with me - peace of mind that the rosary is not likely to break and the peace that comes from prayer. Thanks for a great product and speedy delivery. May God bless the Rugged Rosary team!
