Description
The gauntlet “Isolde” is based on the medieval gauntlets of the 15th century.
-The cuff has specific ribs which underline the elegant shape while strengthening the construction.
– Installed strap for the fastening of the one-handed weapon, the best option for 1 on 1 tournament.
– Thumb is made from a single piece of steel, which even though may restrain the opening of the gauntlet, but doesn’t get in the way of holding the weapon. The protection of the thumb is the same as the “Tristan” has, the edges of the fingers touch the weapon and transfer the hit to the body.
The thickness of the cuff, knuckles, and the tumb – 1.5 mm. The rest is 1.2 mm.
The gauntlet has specific characteristics of the battle and tournament equipment of the end of the 15th century. Comparing to the mitten gauntlet “Tristan”, “Isolde” has a longer cuff, but the smaller angle of expansion, just a bit of the restrainment of the wrists movement. But the experiences fighters say that it is the possibility to have an extra protection for the ligaments. The model is new and it will constantly be improved. We hope that “Isolde” will become a loyal fighting friend for the modern knight.
