Great choice for training and medieval fighting. Now these combat gauntlets come in 18 ga (1.5 mm) stainless steel, which is rightly considered the most suitable metal for SCA gauntlets. Their design is pretty simple, typical for early middle ages, Norman, and Slavic style. This model features advanced thumb shape, more close to protect your thumb from a frontal hit. If you need straight tournament or training gauntlets - this pair is a perfect choice.
