Are those Visby type gauntlets? If they were blackened I'd of bought them already cause at that price they're a steal, not sure if they'd fit my hands though.

That's a good price for gloves included. I wonder what the sizing is like.

Probably medium to large, I got medium to large size hands so gauntlets are less a problem of fitting me than other standardized armor.

That price is really tempting...can't swing the $125.00 at this time.  :(

Wow, I really shouldn't do it with a wedding to plan... but geez. If they're any good at all, that's a damn nice price. I think I'll snag a set! That'll solve one of the pieces I need for my mid-14th kit when I get back to working on it.

Don't get in trouble, Sir Edward!  I'm uh...vacillating between yes and no.  I mean...do I really need these?  No.  At least...not yet.  lol  I am familiar with DSA products and can tell you they've gotten a lot better over the last few years in terms of fit, finish and overall quality.  My experience, however, is with their swords...I know nothing about their armor.

Oh, I won't get in trouble. Kat was in the room while I was typing that, and I was shouting out "what a great deal!" and she said "you should do it!"  :)

Does that mean you're delighted to be delighted by the life...?

Happy wife, Happy Life. When the wife is not happy life can become err, much less happy.  ;D
