The "Lobster" Heavy Gloves are designed to protect your palms which are exposed to injuries during trainings of historical fencing. Our protective heavy gloves provide full cover for four fingers and thumb.

The outside part of the palm and fingers are also protected by the overlapping plastic elements made of polypropylene. Polypropylene represents a high resistancy to cracks which guarantees a higher durability and resistance.

The 11cm cuff made of fabric is reinforced by six covered with leather elements which aim is to protect the wrist’s bones.

On the wrist there is also a leather belt with a buckle which enables the fencer to better adjust the glove to fit the palm.

The inner part of the gloves is covered with synthetic leather. The quilting of the gloves provides additional amortization against the hits.

Now thanks to our heavy gloves, trainings with heavy weapon, feders or dussacks will become much safer.

The standard that our club holds all other gauntlets and gloves against. Price: 4/5 In Canada they are a bit expensive but that's usually because we are paying duties multiple times by the time we get them, a more direct shipping/logistics option direct to Canada would be better. Durability: 5/5 These are all but indestructible, repeated hits with the end of an unrolled Messer have done no damage to the gauntlets. My only qualm with the construction is that there are visible ends of the cut elastic cords that hold the glove together. They are a big unsightly and I am worried about them unravelling. Protection Quality: 5/5 Nobody in our club has yet to take a hit through the gauntlets. Occasionally they get caught while sparring but blades are never able to find a way through the joints in the plastic. Mobility: 4/5 They're gauntlets, so you won't be able to move much. That being said, they are quite flexible all things considered.
