"Raphael" Heavy Clamshell Gloves

$190

This is the economy heavy glove option from CHFG. They provide more dexterity than your average heavy glove all while at a more affordable price. The thumbs include removeable caps for additional protection. The caps may be a little tight/rough for some people if you have large thumbs, so please be aware of this. 

Right out of the box these gloves offer more mobility than most other mitten glove we have used before, which only increases as you break them in further. The thumb rests against the hilt fully grounding out to provides a high level of protection while the overlapping plates on the knuckles protect against those hits you somehow failed to parry. The plates are also low profile enough to fit in most saber hilts, bucklers, or other spots you can generally cram a heavy glove into. These gloves are also very light, coming in at under 2 lbs for the pair. 

Each pair comes with a bag of replacement parts, and more replacement parts are available from us if requested.

For sizing, measure around the palm and the width across the fingers (when gently touching each other), then refer to the sizing listed below:

Love the palm wings

One of my friends got stabbed in the finger webbing that wasn't protected by their gloves and is currently out of commission for a while. These gloves have a palm wing that protects against such injuries. What you pay into these gloves, you will avoid paying in medical bills. They're worth it.

Clamshell gloves

Sturdily build from what I can tell and my sword grippers are completely safe from actually feeling pain from any blows. Personally, I like it a lot. Would recommend especially due to it's relatively cheap cost.
