Gauntlet

Subject: Gauntlet April 6th 2011, 3:55 pm

I am still in the process in designing my mach 3 suit, but I need help. I didn't know whether this belongs to the super suit section or this section since it applies to both. However I want to know, what would be a good gauntlet. I am looking into pictures for inspiration in my design but specifically I would want the following: strong durable material for both defense and attack as well as a good grip on anything. This would be mostly designed for both fighting and climbing.

Not much of a parkour person myself, but I've seen people mention leather in those threads before, plus leather is quite light and gives decent protection against things like arrows/bolts etc.

Or you could try a latex suit... laugh out loud hard

That did help thanks:

I made a mix of 2 or 3 of the gauntlets you showed me.

Just a helpful reminder:
If you're going to be doing a bit of climbing in these, allow the gloves to be fully functional before protective.

That and watch what kind of material you use. Slippery material from puddles or rain can cause painful accidents (found out the hard way).

Very nice. I know palm protection was largely non-existent traditionally, but do you have any plans to implement some kind of palm protection?

Some kind of palm protection coming right up!

Shuko, the magical tool of the ninjas. It traditionaly only used to be just for climbing trees but found out to work out quite well with blocking swords.
(as seen above) Yeah that

Anyways that is what comes to mind with palm protection. knife in head

Edit: I figured since I made a video review of them might as well post it now that this is the subject to my reply. Razz

@idiot1jerk2face3, where did you get the hand spikes? All the ones I've seen so far have a metal part artound the wrist, while yours seems to have adjustable cloth instead.

@ Idiot1Jerk2Face3

Haha, palm protection indeed! That will be quite a hybrid gauntlet when finished. Will you be able to wield a weapon with those gauntlets or do the palm spikes interfere? That WOULD be pretty awesome to try out on a tree--like a crazy ninja-squirrel! lol

You could have custom grips with indents for the spikes, that should work. Very Happy
