Wisby Gauntlets from SPQR
« on: 2013-08-19, 18:12:53 »
Well I paid for them on Friday and they are being shipped tomorrow according the the email this morning.


Cost with shipping and currency conversion is $394, which is possible the lowest price I've ever found for Wisby gauntlets.
I hope they aren't shoddy! Keeping my fingers crossed!  :-\

Cool! I'm curious to see how well they move. I may need to get a set at some point.

Are they off-the-peg or made to measure?

Hopefully a little of both!
They have set sizes based upon European measurements for hands which mine is just a little under their size 10. I sent them a PDF file of my traced hands and asked them to send their correlating size.  :-\

lo-pro?
Do you mean low protection? I'm hoping they will be high protection since lacrosse gloves are not really sufficent with steel combat.  :-\

Cheaper than I have seen. Mine were $475. I am happy with mine!! They are similar in many respects Brian. Hope they are as good on you because we know how much thumb protection you need. ;D  :P LOL
