Review of: Articulated Hourglass Gauntlets
Fit is really well done considering they are one size. Fingers are a bit long but was able to wear them for a full season at ren-fest and handle paper, money easily.

Review of: Hounskull Bascinet
I just got this helmet yesterday, and true enough it’s a great buy. This fits extremely well and looks amazing.
While it’s true the visor doesn’t lift completely it still moves easily and comes with strapping to secure it around the back of the head. It’s also easy to see out of and came padded.
Overall, this is a great helmet for anyone. I highly recommend this hounskull as your next gear find.

Review of: Articulated Hourglass Gauntlets
Ive been waiting for years to find a pair of gauntlets like these which will allow you actually hold something and use. They are awesome and fit well. They come packaged and greased to prevent corrosion. The leather gloves will need to be broken in (to be expected).
Such a great buy, very happy with these.

Review of: Hounskull Bascinet
So this is not my first helm from MRL. Want to change up my look a little for the fairs. This one runs a little tighter then my first. But still very wearable. The visor does not even come close to lifting up enough to get it out of your way. But that is about the only draw back. worth every penny.

Review of: Brown Cotton Brigandine
I'd really consider this more of a "coat of plates" than a proper "brigandine" armor given the lack of overlapping plates. The gaps between plates, particularly over the breastbone, would make me consider this for protection in addition to a mail shirt or hauberk.

Review of: Avenger Scale Gauntlets
Really like the look of the gauntlets. With the way they are attached to the gloves you do loose some flexibility in the fingers. But still very happy with them.

This helmet is really well done. The visor can't be held up all the way but it looks good.

Review of: Spanish Morion Helmet
Really good helmet. It's appropriately heavy, but very wearable. The internal suspension feels comfortable and sturdy, and helps me appreciate the knowledge that went into building these things. Also, I'm sort of an idjit: I was just thinking, "This thing needs a chin strap," but then I found it tucked into the lining. Functional for experiments and budget reenactors. Great for display.
