Jousting in hourglass gauntlets.

Can't find any footage of anybody doing it. Why?

I do it. Didn't have them at the last joust yet, they just came today to replace the ones I sold.

You cant really see mine though...

But bad arm armour will break your arm in jousting. It must fit right.

Oh yeah! We get those alot! I think I even broke the body of the lance with that hit! It was a biggie! It's mostly due to the Carmague saddle that I stayed on!

I joust in wisby gauntlets, because that is what i have. Finger gauntlets are amazing for jousting in. Allows for greater reign control.
