Red Dragon Armoury Light HEMA Jacket - 350N
Constructed from 350N-rated heavy-duty cotton with an inner lining, this jacket is purpose-built for single-hand weapon disciplines like rapier and sabre rather than heavier two-handed sparring. It carries less padding than Red Dragon's standard HEMA Sparring Jacket by design: no padding on the back, since effective blows rarely land there in rapier and sabre play, and no padding on the inside of the arms. The result is a noticeably lighter, more breathable jacket suited to the pace and contact profile of single-hand fencing.
A padded collar with an integrated blade catcher helps guard against stray thrusts that slip under the bib of a fencing mask, while an adjustable webbing strap with Velcro at the back lets you cinch the waist for a closer, more streamlined fit.
Key Features
- 350N-rated heavy-duty cotton construction with inner lining
- Designed for rapier, sabre, and other single-hand weapon sparring
- No back or inner-arm padding — lighter weight, increased breathability
- Padded collar with blade-catcher for under-mask protection
- Adjustable waist strap for a streamlined fit
- Available in 4 sizes
Note: This jacket's reduced padding is matched to lower-contact single-hand disciplines. It is not intended for heavier-contact HEMA sparring involving longsword or other two-handed weapons — for that, a fully padded jacket is the safer choice.
