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.
Very well made and very comfortable to wear. Came with my name written on one of the inside plates. Came with fun stickers as well, which is always a plus! It was a little small, but I think that might’ve been an issue on my end as I guessed I would need about an extra inch as I didn’t have my Gambeson yet. It is still effective and able to be used, just tight if fully buckled over my gambeson. Very stylish, very comfortable, good craftsmanship, fun note and stickers, nice touch with the name. Overall I am more than satisfied!
Brig is amazing fits perfectly and looks stunning ordered the titanium skirt with it as well now the kit is complete
