Our finger caps are the designed for the extreme moments of sparring.
Your should not feel the caps in your gloves if sized correctly, but in the moment they are needed, they are there. The time your clamshell shifts backward at the wrong moment, the moment your opponent lands on your thumb through your closed guard. These aren’t meant to stop the hurt; they are meant to reduce it. You should think “OUCH!” instead of “Oh I’m going to lose that nail”, and in the most extreme circumstances, they will break, dissipating the sword’s energy before it ships the bone in your fingertip. They are not meant to replace your protection, just add to it in the worst-case scenario!
My personal set after prototype runs.
Yes this is me, No it wasn’t smart. But that’s how much i trust these; and yes I hit hard enough to ruined the goat skin gloves……
I chose to hit them till they cracked, then hit them further to see if they would continue protecting after catastrophic failure. They did.
Find The Perfect Fit
- Get a ruler, measuring tape, or fabric tape and place it on a flat surface.
- Measure the widest part of the top segment of your finger .(normally this is right Infront of the knuckle.)
- Note down the Millimeter marker you can see visible on the side of your finger.
*** If you are in between sizes, go with the size above. (ei if your 21mm use a 22mm cap)

How To Install
Caps should be measured for your fingers. Designed so that the pad of your finger sticks out from the bottom but should be the height of the bone in the tip.
- Oversized caps will reduce the sensation in your fingers and may effect your mobility at the first knuckle.
- Caps should cover the TOP of your finger.
- Caps have a tendency rotate during sparing, to avoid this use a small amount of superglue along the top or end before inserting into the glove fingers to keep them where you want!
