Heavy gloves "Red Lobster" Level 2 Medium/Large.


Features different from standard Lobster gloves from SPES:

- plastic thumb cover
- 800N puncture resistant fabric. You can find this fabric on back of hands and cuffs
- cuffs have plastic shields rather than just padding
- more upgrades listed below


Please note!! Only available in M/L size at this time


These HEMA gloves combine safety (a feature which SPES "Lobster" gloves are famous for) with innovative solutions and a new design of this HEMA gear.

To increase the level of protection, this model of SPES gloves was made of 800N puncture resistant fabric. You can find this fabric on:

• back of hands
• cuffs

HEMA gloves of this type cover all fingers with thumbs, which have new, better design. This element gives extra protection on sides and front of fingers. It lowers the risk of injury during training and HEMA tournaments. What is more, outer parts of hands and fingers are covered by overlaying shields made of polypropylene plastic.

Cuffs in these HEMA gloves, among 800N puncture resistance fabric and new type of plastic shields, have very important comforts, easing the process of putting the gloves on hands and mobility during sparring:
• they are narrower, easier to put on
• they are lighter and more elastic, not hindering the movement during fight, especially with a longsword
• they have additional ribbing, helping in fitting a glove to a hand shape
• there is an adjustable leather strap with a buckle on the wrist


See Sizing tab for more information.
Features
  • The outside part of the palm and fingers are protected by the overlapping plastic elements made of polypropylene. Polypropylene has high resistance to cracking, which guarantees a higher durability.
  • The 11cm fabric cuff is reinforced by six plates covered with leather in order to protect the wrist bones.
  • A leather belt with buckle enables manual adjustment of the glove at the wrist for a better fit.
  • The inner part of the gloves is covered with synthetic leather.
  • The quilting on the gloves provides additional amortization against strikes to the hand.

Why is it worth choosing SPES gloves?
- new, built up shape of the thumb
- back of hands and cuffs of these HEMA gloves have 800N puncture resistance certificate
- cuffs have 3 polypropylene covers with a ribbing and leather strap
- inside is made of perforated synthetic leather, ensuring a proper air circulation and more secure grip
- dedicated to any type of arm, both heavy and light
- designed for both beginning and advanced users during training and HEMA tournaments

5 of 5 Heavy Red Lobsters October 14, 2021
Reviewer: Jesse from Oregon  
I fully expected these gloves to be sorta clunky & awkward, with a substantial break-in period. But, I figured the protection would be worth that trade off. But when I used them, I immediately forgot about them. No discomfort. No problems or changes in how I gripped the feder. I am amazed at how easy it has been to get used to these. The only thing that would be nicer, is if SPES used a hot-knife to cut the elastic cords to length. Then they’d not be so frayed. That’s the only gripe I can think of. Highly recommend
