Handshake Grip Design: The SF 5-Finger Pro Gauntlets feature an advanced design that supports the natural “handshake” grip, where the hand is slightly angled forward. This grip position, essential for longsword fencing, allows enhanced tip control and improved execution of techniques such as downward vertical strikes.
Ergonomically Angled Articulation: Carefully angled articulated plates work in harmony with this grip style. The thumb is free to extend forward, while the index and middle fingers can naturally reach over the handle for superior control. The ring and little fingers remain slightly curved to ensure grip security, offering a clear advantage over traditional gloves that restrict movement to a basic hammer grip.
Upgraded Protection System: These gloves integrate major protective enhancements, including reinforced coverage for vulnerable areas such as the index and pinky fingers. Improved resistance against thrusts between the fingers is combined with a newly developed shock-absorbing material to enhance overall impact protection. The thumb features full multidirectional articulation, allowing smooth grip transitions and complex hand movements.
Enhanced Impact Defense: Rigid protective plates are strategically placed across the back of the hand and fingers to provide strong defense against strikes. Additional side padding on the index and pinky fingers improves lateral protection, increasing safety during intense sparring and competition.
Exceptional Dexterity & Control: The true five-finger construction allows a highly natural grip, making complex techniques and fast hand transitions effortless. Elastic materials provide immediate flexibility and responsiveness, eliminating the need for a break-in period.
Superior Comfort & Secure Fit: A high-quality inner lining ensures long-lasting comfort during extended training sessions. Integrated grip zones on the palm enhance control, while practical pull tabs allow quick and easy wearing and removal.
Multi-Discipline Versatility: Designed for both longsword and single-handed sword use, the SF 5-Finger Pro Gauntlets are suitable for a wide range of HEMA disciplines, delivering a balanced combination of protection, mobility, and precision.
