Historical Fencing gloves

The historical fencing gloves in quilted leather are a modern reproduction of the protections used by Renaissance and early modern fencers. They offer a perfect balance between protection and mobility, essential for the practice of historical fencing techniques.

Design and materials:

Made from carefully selected high-quality leather, these gloves are designed to withstand wear while offering a soft touch. The internal padding, composed of a thin layer of foam, provides protection against light impacts without compromising the tactile sensitivity necessary for precise weapon handling.

Benefits for HEMA practitioners:

The flexibility of these gloves allows fencers to perform complex techniques with ease, especially the subtle wrist movements essential in the handling of the rapier. Their authentic design also makes them perfect for historical reenactments and artistic fencing performances.

Comparison with other models:

Unlike heavy protection gloves used for intensive sparring, these gloves offer an excellent compromise between safety and sensitivity. They are lighter and more flexible than modern padded gloves, while offering better protection than simple non-quilted leather gloves.
