Red Dragon Armoury HEMA Fencing Gloves - Padded

These padded leather gloves add a layer of light impact protection over standard drilling gloves, making them a solid fit for most SCA rapier combat and general HEMA drilling work. The padding is built to absorb the lighter contact typical of rapier bouts and training drills — not the heavier strikes found in HEMA cut-and-thrust or longsword sparring, which call for higher-rated protection.

Beyond the added padding, these gloves still guard against the everyday blisters, scrapes, and abrasions that come with regular sword drilling, while keeping enough flexibility for grip and control. They also work well as part of a Medieval or Renaissance historical outfit when you're not on the strip.
