"Black Knight" Gauntlets

The "Black Knight" gauntlets are the result of the expertise of HF Armory, a Ukrainian company specialized in HEMA equipment. They meet the need for maximum protection for competitions and intensive training, while preserving the dexterity necessary for precise weapon handling.

Design and materials:

These gauntlets are made of polypropylene, a material known for its exceptional strength. The interior is lined with quilted padding for optimal comfort, even during the most violent impacts. The palm is covered with genuine leather, ensuring a firm grip and preventing any weapon slippage during combat.

Benefits for HEMA practitioners:

The thumb protection system is a major innovation: a unique plastic plate covers it on three sides and on its upper part, forming a rigid frame for unprecedented protection of this vulnerable area. The overlapping exterior plates offer a perfect combination of protection and mobility for the entire hand.

Mobility and comfort:

Despite their high level of protection, these gauntlets remain remarkably light, weighing less than a kilo per pair. This lightness, combined with the articulated plates at the wrist level, ensures exceptional mobility, essential for the precise execution of historical fencing techniques.
