Are these the ultimate HEMA gloves? A Long-term review of the Thokk WeaponMaster®  Gauntlets “PRO“

Long-term review of the Thokk WeaponMaster®  Gauntlets “PRO“ by Michael Thomas and Nick Thomas of the Academy of Historical Fencing. With a combined total of around 700 bouts we’ve extensively tested these gloves, and with every possible type of sword both synthetic and steel. From the website: -This product is intended for HEMA fencing with both steel an synthetic weapon simulators. -For the use at high intesity with Longsword simulators, it is recommended to use it with the “Longsword Badass Design“ add-on, which on top of increasing protection from impacts also protects the sides of the fingers, the areas between the fingers, and the thumb. -For rapier fencing and other similar complex-hilted, light weapon simulators that do not require much impact protection, it is possible to replace the standard “heavy“ lining with the optional “light“ lining.
