like the topic says Im trying to make/design/get tips on designing a gauntlet for use in my HEMA group, atm we use lacross gloves but they are too bulky for realistic sparring some times. I have been to armor archives and found a few gauntlets but most of them seem to be either steel or made to be costume gear and Im looking for something that can take a hit from a steel longsword I have plenty of sued and leather to use. I have tried making a few designs in the past but so far I havent come up with a good model that isnt super difficult/expensive to make. please all help is appreciated and if you happen to have any patterns I could use it would be a godsend. Thanks in advance.
