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.

Gauntlet for tournaments.

Gauntlet for tournaments.

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.
