Rapier gloves “Bird of Prey"
Fencing gloves with long embossed cuff
Rapier fencing gloves “Bird of Prey”
Exclusive fencing gloves with embossed cuffs
We are expanding our HEMA gear collection and already have two beautiful lines of rapier gloves for more "Sport" oriented fencers and for those who value "Heritage" more than competitive achievements.
But there are always people, especially among our customers, who want more. These gloves are an exclusive version of our rapier gloves, with a padded element hidden under authentically looking leather and a cuff plastic element replaced with reliable embossed leather.
They also have a moving wrist fold which minimizes the chance of an unpleasant blow in the wrist and at the same time doesn't restrict your movements.
These gloves themselves can make your look epic, they will work perfectly with a rapier, a dagger, or a smallsword on the SCA cut and thrust battlefield or on the HEMA tournament, and they also can be used in so many different ways as an element of the costume and as a protective gear for a lighter weapon, from LARP polearms to plastic practice weapon.
Get a pair and you'll have a perfectly comfortable glove for many occasions and an eye-catching element for your costume as well.

I've held off ordering from Armstreet for a long time because their products look TOO good to BE good. I have to say these gloves are in fact just as solid as they are pretty. This leads to its own problems; I'm in trouble. These gloves look so good that I'm going to have to reevaluate the rest of my kit to match. I've used them for saber, messer and rapier fighting, and the fit is close enough to work in any type of hilt that I've used so far, and the hard cuff really helps with forearm hits. They also fit like a glove, no pun intended.
I finally received my gloves! They are beautiful and fit wonderfully. I was a bit concerned with how bulky they were at first, but with sword in hand they griped they handle perfectly and I had as much control as without gloves. I did buy these before I got into hema, and sadly as a longswordsman I cannot use them for the sport, but nonetheless I will happily wear them around the many festivals I attend. Very happy with my purchase, and armstreet customer service is top notch! For whatever reason I cannot add an image despite my files saying they are less than 2mb. But I assure the images armstreet uses as reference are on the money!
They are wonderful gloves and excellent quality!
Beautiful gauntlets. These would be perfect for rapier fencing, except that they have very bulky seams at the sides of the fingers and a bit more padding on the back of the fingers and hand than needed even with my open hilt rapier. The thumb is rather long for me - once my hand is gripping a sword, the thumb has over 1cm extra length (but is tight in terms of finger thickness). Also, the first time I took a hit to the webbing between thumb and index finger with a smallsword (blunt tip), it punched a hole right through the leather. I don't have a lot of confidence that these will last well, but they look great right now.
These gloves are an eye-catcher in every sense of the word and are simply great quality. Absolutely stunning! I am a member of a club for medieval sword fencing and medieval role-playing, and several club members have approached me about these wonderful gloves. In addition, both the level of protection and the flexibility of the gloves are excellent. The hard cuffs help to absorb many hits even without forearm protection. The soft padded leather allows enough freedom of movement in combination with basic protection. The gloves are definitely worth every euro. Highly recommended. On the one hand, because the service was TOP.
