HEMA

This buckler has been developed with some of the top HEMA schools in Europe with durability and price in mind. It is constructed from 14 gauge steel making it durable enough to take the abuse that everyday practice in the salle throws at it. It is ideal for both I.33 and Bolognese systems.

The boss is well riveted to the face of the buckler and the grip/handle is raised at the back to allow for a padded glove, but not raised to the extent that it adversely affects manoeuvrability. A great buckler at a great price!

Please note that these gloves are designed for sparring with synthetic swords. Whilst most people deem them durable enough for controlled steel sparring, the gloves will deteriorate at a faster rate as a consequence. Red Dragon HEMA Sparring Gloves are not indestructible and are not designed to last forever. As with any other sports kit, they will deteriorate and need replacing over time. The more they are used, the faster they will deteriorate.
