"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."

padded gorgets
« on: 2008-11-20, 23:13:32 »
just picked up 2 brand new Revival padded gorgets from SFI classifieds. Came today in the post. Since we now have indoor practice space (finally) these will be a welcome addition to our protective gear.

cheers,

Bill

I have one of these. I think its decent, inexpensive protection for controlled contact, and also works pretty well for rapier. You just have to keep in mind that they won't stop a hard thrust with a longsword blunt, and make sure your partner clearly understands this as well, so that you don't have someone hitting extra hard because they think that they can.
