Description
SPES continues to push the boundaries of innovation with the Lobster V3 HEMA Gauntlets, a major evolution of the famous Lobster.
The main innovation of the SPES Lobster V3 HEMA Gauntlets lies in their redesigned three-part thumb, meticulously designed to provide full finger coverage. The top element, the shell, has been lengthened and curved to fit an optimal ergonomic shape, thus protecting the fingertips.
The cuffs, equipped with adjustable leather straps at the wrist, ensure a perfect fit and keep the gauntlets in place, even during the most rigorous training sessions. The cuff has been subtly modified to protect the wrist at the point where it joins the upper part of the glove. Additionally, the plastic elements are connected to the cuff with new, more resistant fastenings, minimizing the risk of breakage during training.
Designed to meet the needs of the most demanding HEMA practitioners, these gauntlets are ideal for fighting with longswords, feders, and other steel weapons. The combination of rigid plastic and synthetic leather ensures optimal shock resistance, while the reinforced leather bracer effectively protects the forearm and wrist.
These gauntlets are designed to offer reliable protection while improving weapon handling and grip. They are suitable for all levels of HEMA practitioners and are particularly recommended for training and fighting with steel weapons.
