The quality seems really nice and I can’t wait to use it in battle!
Lange hat es gedauert und auch nicht gerade günstig. Aber schön gemacht, robust und gute Qualität. Braucht keine spezielle Pflege rostet nicht. Top kauft man nur einmal.
Light, compact, and fingers feel safe AF
Super light compared to a regular gauntlet, but still gives really solid protection where it matters. Great for shield work because it doesn’t feel bulky or slow you down, and the fingers stay well covered even when things get rough. Exactly what I wanted from a shield mitten.
