Rigid Plate Fencing Gloves

Like any martial art, the art of the sword brings with it a host of bumps and bruises. Made from the same high-quality leather and stitch construction as our Padded Swordplay Gloves, these gloves have added, rigid knuckle plates on hand and thumb made of Carbon Kevlar, dense foam along the fingers and thumb, as well as all around the ‘gauntlet’ part of the glove for added wrist protection. The foam in these gloves is denser and more rigid providing extra protection, but patterned in such way as to provide coverage along your fingers, back of hand, knuckles and wrist while not restricting mobility. Our Rigid Plate HEMA Gloves are designed to help protect against light blows, works well as hand padding inside a buckler and while sparring with light weapons.  Designed specifically for practitioners of the Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) and Western Martial Arts (WMA) communities.
