Hard Shell gloves

Shell gloves represent the pinnacle of hand protection in the practice of HEMA. Designed for intense assaults and competitions, these gloves incorporate strategically placed and articulated rigid shells to absorb powerful impacts.

Although more robust than their soft counterparts, our shell gloves are designed to maintain a good level of mobility. They excel in high-impact disciplines like the longsword or messer, where joint protection is paramount. Each pair is the result of careful design, combining durable materials and advanced ergonomics.
