Product description
Light shield mitten is a mitten-style gauntlet for the shield hand in full-contact historical fighting. The mitten layout with a dedicated thumb piece helps reduce hand injuries from shield strikes and close-range contact while keeping a practical grip on straps or a handle.
- Protection: coverage for the back of the hand, thumb area, and wrist; the extended cuff helps guard the junction with a vambrace or sleeve.
- Mobility: mitten geometry focuses on a strong working grip without extra finger articulation, which suits active shield work.
- Fit: stitched base and plate geometry follow typical hand anatomy and thumb position; designed to be worn over an under-glove.
- Durability & service: riveted parts are easier to maintain—damaged elements and hardware can be replaced without rebuilding the whole item.
Compatible with different shield types and sold per piece, left or right. Manufacturing is guided by historical sources and historical analogs (museum references and period imagery), adapted for modern full-contact loads.
Made with common tournament safety checks in mind (including formats such as HMB, IMCF, and local rules), but final approval always depends on the specific event requirements and the condition of the gear at inspection.
