CHFG Michael HEMA Gloves – Lightweight Clamshell Tournament Gloves for Advanced Fencers

CHFG Michael HEMA Gloves – Precision for Those Who Rely on Skill

CHFG Michael is not just an upgrade — it’s a shift in mindset.

Built for fencers who know where their blade is and how to use it, the Michael gloves offer tournament-grade protection in a refined, clamshell-style package.
Think less bulk, more control, and a clean mitten-like interior that gives your fingers natural alignment — not some weird Vulcan salute.

You’re not just blocking hits — you’re fencing.

With a closed inner hand compartment, advanced padding, and thoughtful articulation, the Michael gloves give you the agility to maneuver well and the protection to take hits… within reason. This glove will reduce injury, but not eliminate pain — and that’s on you to fight smarter.

🔍 Key Features

• Clamshell Design:
  Sleek, dual-panel armor offers finger protection without sacrificing movement or speed.

• Integrated Mitten Grip:
  Four fingers rest in a single padded chamber — giving you solid grip feel, natural motion, and better structural protection than split-finger styles.

• Adjustable Thumb Length:
  Customize your thumb fit by retying to different internal anchor points. Fine-tune for comfort and reach.

• Tournament-Level Protection:
  Comparable in coverage to heavy lobster gloves — but optimized for flexibility and feedback.

• Overengineered (In a Good Way):
  Carefully constructed with layered materials and internal supports. But this also means: treat them well, maintain them often.

• For Technical Fencers:
  Ideal for longsword, sabre, and advanced blade control. Less for brute-force smashing, more for tactical fencing.

⚠️ Important Notes

• These gloves offer serious protection, but you will still feel the pain if you take a direct hit. That’s a feature, not a flaw.

• Use their flexibility and precision to guard properly with your crossguard, hilt, or technique — don’t rely on armor alone.

• Due to their complex construction, we recommend checking and tightening key stitching points every few weeks.

• Thumb length is adjustable — use the internal tie points to set it just right for your hand and grip style.

⚠️ Disclaimer

The CHFG Michael gloves are intended for HEMA and historical steel sparring.
They are not industrial PPE, and do not offer invincibility.
Train with control. Maintain your gear. Fight smart.

💸 Price Positioning

Expect to pay roughly double the price of CHFG Raphael.
Because smart design and hand articulation cost money — and you’ll feel the difference.
