ByTheSword Churburg Gauntlets and Churburg Sabatons

(1/2) > >>

Sir James A:
One glaring thing I noticed is there is NO sizing at all - no specific measurements, as expected, but not even a small/medium/large option.

Anyone have any experience with them, or know how the sizing runs?

Sir Edward:

Edited your post to put "sabatons" before the link so the dictionary wouldn't break the URL.

cheaper here. :)

Thorsteinn:
A bit bulky and thick with the 16 ga fingers. Planning one being it there yes?

Edit: Meant to ask if you were expecting to be hit there. Dang cold.

Sir Rodney:
I checked out these sabatons in the past and they just "don't quite look right".  The toe is pointed, but there is not enough shaping to the point.  Instead of a having a plate that hugs the left and right side of the heel bone, they stop short and do a funny flare thingy.  Just my $0.02 worth.

Past conversations on myArmoury and Armour Archive indicate the gauntlets are fine for show (Ren Fairs, costume, etc.), but not good if you want to fight in them. 
David Teague, a Selohaar Fechtschule instructor, warns against using them for WMA in this thread.
