A '''Point Defense Gauntlet''' is a protection orientated device carried by the [[Sangheili]] of the [[Covenant]].<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel|Halo:]] [[The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor|Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor]]'', page 52</ref>. 

==Operational Use==
While the Point Defense Gauntlet has never been encountered by [[UNSC]] forces, it was used by [[Special Operations Commander|Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] during the destruction of the ''[[Infinite Succor]]''. Instead of the tri-layered shield that at least one [[Sangheili]] has seen with, this was a diamond-like shape with only one layer. 

These shields are very similar to the [[Jackal Point Defense Gauntlet|Kig-yar Point Defense Gauntlet]], except the Kig-Yar Point Defense Gauntlets produce round and deep shields while the Sangheili version is flat and less practical in a battle.

This shield is singularly comparable to the [[Elite Personal Energy Shield|Sangheili Personal Energy Shield]].

==Trivia==
*This item was going to be used in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' by [[Sangheili]] soldiers, though was replaced by the Personal Energy Shields.
*The only [[UNSC]] encounter with it is in the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' E3 2000 Trailer.
