Rigid Gauntlets MAC ARMOUR

Stiff gauntlets for HEMA, offering maximum protection and unbeatable resistance

• Design inspired by the 15th century
• 3mm thick rigid material
• Resistant to steel, wood, and synthetic weapons

Suitable for EU hand sizes 8, 9, 10 (S to L)

Inspired by the designs of the second half of the 15th century, they offer a perfect balance between mobility and level of protection.

Built with 3 mm thick plastic, these gauntlets effectively withstand all shocks, even those delivered by steel weapons. Their “mitten” type design, covering all fingers except the thumb, allows for optimal distribution of impacts over a larger area, thus guaranteeing superior protection compared to independent finger gloves. Although this configuration may slightly reduce dexterity, it is essential for increased safety during combat.

These gauntlets are designed for sparring with steel, wood, and synthetic weapons, thus offering appreciable versatility for practitioners of various disciplines. The straps ensure a natural and comfortable fit, allowing for effective weapon handling.

The gauntlets are initially designed for a EU size 9 (equivalent to Medium) but are adjustable enough to fit hand sizes 8 (S), 9 (M), and 10 (L). Their design with sliding segments facilitates adjustment and comfort.

It is necessary to wear padded gloves under these shells. MAC Armour leather fencing gloves are an ideal choice.
