Fantasy theme gave a significant push for hobbys in one way or another connected with fencing and armor developing. Of course we can not ingnore this direction. In general, if you want to collect the most realistic fantasy armor - we are at your service! Especially since our armor has a nice design and you can create the necessary image with it.

Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop mittens, elbows, knees, etc specially for this direction. Part of our armor elements are also suitable for HEMA. But in the future we plan to develop specially for this discipline mittens, elbows, knees, etc. This direction of fencing is based on medieval fencing books (training books) and special very flexible and light swords are used here.

In fighting stylization, we first of all provide protection and convenience. When developing such armor, we combine the existing elements and parts of the medieval armor existing separately, but in close regions and time frames.

In historical reconstruction, we try to maximally repeat the geometry of the example artifact. The difficulty is that often both the example and the artifact are located far from us. Therefore, such work requires considerable skill.

Gauntlets for reenactment.

Gauntlets for reenactment.

Description

This pair was made around 2009 for the team “Salisbury”, Kyiv. Basically, these are the composite character of the gauntlets of the time using artifacts and images of the medieval infantry. These gauntlets are good for everyday tasks in the military campaigns: fasten your clothes, cook food, strain a crossbow, write with a quill, count your coins and so on. Surely, they protect from cuts and hits. However, in spite of their usability in the medieval, they cannot be used in sports. In the modern realia, the blows to the armor are much stronger and it is easy to have your fingers broken. Which is why it is better to stay away from hits and take these gauntlets to the living-history events.
