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.

Important information and terms of use

In the absence of a harmonized European standard specific to HEMA, this material does not benefit from the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) certification of the FIE-CE type.

The "350N" and "800N" ratings designate the fabric's puncture resistance measured in a laboratory. They do not constitute a guarantee against impacts and do not measure shock absorption, as the case may be.

The use of this equipment, particularly for the practice of HEMA, is under the sole responsibility of the user. It is recommended that the user adapt and complete their equipment according to the simulators used (steel, synthetic, wood), the intensity of their practice, and the regulatory requirements of their club or tournament.
