Nilin "PRO" Gauntlets - 5 Fingers

After the disappearance of CrossGuard, enthusiasts set out to design the successor that the ProGauntlet deserved. The Nilin 5-Finger is the result: a complete redesign that addresses the weaknesses of its predecessor while surpassing the Gabriel 2.0 in terms of maneuverability.

The fundamental difference with the Gabriel lies in the exoskeleton structure. On the Gabriel, the plates are directly attached to the base glove, which creates mechanical resistance during movements and limits protection to direct impacts. On the Nilin, the shells form a self-supporting unit where each element connects to the others: the hand moves freely inside without ever struggling against the structure. This design completely eliminates the loss of grip and offers superior resistance, where the fingers of the Gabriel may give way under a violent impact.

The microfiber leather coating ensures durability and abrasion resistance. The index finger benefits from continuous plate protection, allowing for full-speed single-handed saber practice.

The trade-off of this exoskeleton structure is the limitation to sizes M and L: enlarging the glove requires enlarging the plates themselves. The Gabriel, with its plates attached to a base glove, offers more flexibility in sizing. Practitioners with atypical hands may encounter fitting difficulties with the Nilin, particularly at the pinky finger.
