Absolute Force – Deluxe HEMA Sparring Gloves

Exceeded expectations These gloves are VERY protective, with overlapping hard plates. A little bulky, but better protection than lacrosse gloves. Very comfortable interior, feels like silk or some similar fabric. Unless you’re over 6 ft tall I’d recommend getting the mediums, as they’re plenty big. The reason I’m rating 4 stars is the fact that they are a little bulky, so you can’t hold swords with basket hilts or any sort of evolved handguard. Still skinny enough to hold a Gladius, arming sword, etc. (so not too bulky, just too bulky for Renaissance era swords). When you get the gloves be sure to play with them for a few hours to break them in. A great buy, check prices before you decide
