CHFG
"Raphael" Heavy Clamshell Gloves
We currently have an upgraded version of the gloves in regular size that use the thumbs from the Michael gloves and have a plastic clip to hold the wrist elastic in place. XL gloves are discounted until we sell out, then we will order upgraded XL gloves as well!
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.
