Title: "Absolute Force" HEMA deluxe gauntlets
Post by: Sir Edward on 2013-10-02, 22:57:39

AF just announced these:

They do look a little better than the previous iteration. I have the original design, and I may try to sell them, since I never bother to use them. I almost always use my steel gaunts, or step down to the kevlar gloves.

Here's the older design:

But.... no more ninja turtles bifurcated fingers? :)

I think mitten gauntlet style will always be the most protective, even if it is going to hinder technique. Personal choice on more protection, or more proper technique potential?

Is it just me or do they look an awful lot like Egg Armoury's Gauntlets?

I am new to HEMA and am in the market for Gloves and Mask (thinking about getting a gambeson that is thick enough for steel sparring...waiting to see what people say about the Badass Garbs gambesons) so if you do sell those AF let me know what you are looking to sell em for? I am trying to minimize my costs for HEMA so I can get my plate armor bought  ;D
