You don't want gloves wiith metal plates, far too uncomfortable.
What you want is a set of Northern Ireland gloves.
These babies were issued to the army when they were sent across the water.
They are very comfortable but have a sown in bag of lead shot across the knuckles. They look just like any other set of black leather gloves if you don't know what to look for.
So no problems with the plod.
I only know about them cos my older brother (RIP) was a para.
You can get them (occasionally) from the big army surplus outlets, and sometimes on fleabay.
I got a set for £13.
