We take a look at the 5-Finger Gabriel Hard Shell HEMA Gloves by CHFG after months of hard use. We bought a batch of these in various sizes for testing after hearing so much about them. They're described as being a super resilient, high contact level glove suitable for all sorts of weapons and intensity levels. We've put them to the test so you don't have to.
From their production description page:
The Gabriel HEMA Gloves deliver optimal protection and unmatched comfort for practitioners of Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). Crafted from lightweight yet durable materials, these gloves are perfect for both training and competitive use. They offer robust protection against impacts while maintaining excellent finger mobility. Each pair comes in a convenient carrying bag and includes spare parts to extend the gloves’ lifespan. Additional parts are available upon request.
