Finger Rivets

Post by Barnet »

Ok, got a pair on finger gauntlets from Knights Armoury (will write my review later....they rock :D ), but have to pad them now. What type of rivet would be good to replace the ones in them?

Finger rivets

Post by sean of the chipendales »

Hey Barnet, congrats on the finger gauntlets! :D Did you buy them off ebay from them?, or did you order them from them?

Also, instead of taking them apart, I put finger shaped close cell black foam and slid them into the glove between the top of my fingers and the glove leather. It works awsome.

Can you add extra rivets for the gloves and padding?
Or holes to stich them in?

Got pics?

I got them on E-bay, have to be quick, they go fast. I will try the sliding the padding in, what about the finger tips?

Will try and post some pics once the camerea recharges.

I bought a pair on ebay from them on Maerch 23rd and havent seen them yet. i wonder what is going on?

Anyway, try the padding idea, it truly works and passes the marshals :D
