Windlass/Deepeeka medieval shields.
SirNathanQ:
Does anyone have any experience Between these two brands of medieval shields?
How are they? How do they compare? Are they functional? Handle well? solidly constructed? How is the strapping?
All help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sir Ulrich:
I have a windlass crusader late kite shield and its quality is rather good, it's also padded to absorb shock much easier. Not sure how accurate it is but I like my shield. It's quite light as well.
Sir Edward:
The first one is a lot like mine, just a different size. It's fairly light and sturdy, and it's strapped pretty well, except the guige strap is not really adjustable. So I cut the strap off mine, leaving about 8" on either side, and riveted my own belt onto the remaining pieces, so that I could have a buckled strap.
The surface of the shield is covered in a canvas material, with some sort of soft layer underneath. I'm not sure how well it holds paint, in general, but since mine got dipped in tough epoxy paints, mine has an almost metallic, smooth surface now.
SirNathanQ:
So the Windlass ones are highly recommended?
Anyone have any experience or hear anything about the Deepeeka?
Sir Wolf:
i have the second one and like it alot.
