We are less likely to stock the Red Lobster, so the wait may be a little longer.

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

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

Heavy Red Lobsters
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
