The SPES Heavy Gloves are SPES’ take on the longsword hand protection market. So far I found these to be the most protective of all available options on the market, however they are also quite bulky and huge. Some small tweaks to the plates and some to the cuff would make these more comfortable and better in my opinion. Also I found that a lot of people use a fingertip protection for the thumb, but not on the other fingers. I only used them on a few occasions, so I won’t write a full review on them yet.
