Description
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.

I'm hesitating between two sizes, which one should I take?
If you have any doubts, we recommend choosing the larger of the two sizes. When it comes to gloves, it's better for them to be a bit too big rather than too tight.
