Lamellar gloves for buhurt and full contact

Lamellar gloves for buhurt/full contact are a hand protection option inspired by eastern mitten prototypes and made with reference to historical analogs and sources. The design is stylized for regular training and fighting where clinch work and weapon control matter.

The protective layer uses plates riveted to leather straps. The plates are set with double overlap, so impacts are shared across adjacent elements and exposed edges are less prone to catching during grappling. Inside, a dense quilted base glove helps absorb and distribute force, reducing point load on knuckles and the back of the hand. Decorative lacing is non-structural, which simplifies servicing.

• Protection: overlapping plates plus quilting address slashing and compressive loads to the back of the hand.
• Mobility: strap-based lamellar construction preserves flex for a stable grip.
• Durability: consumables are straightforward—straps and rivets can be replaced, quilting can be re-stitched locally.

Fit is built around typical hand anatomy. When choosing a size, use palm width and finger length so the glove stays stable in the grip without pressing on joints. For club use, keeping spare rivets, strap leather, waxed cord, and heavy thread makes field repairs faster.

By coverage and construction, this type of glove often meets common tournament safety checks across different rulesets, but final acceptance depends on the current regulations and the pre-fight inspection.
