Red Dragon Armoury Swordsman's Gloves - Unpadded

Lightweight, unpadded leather gloves built for rapier work and SCA fencing, where lower-contact rules mean flexibility and grip matter more than heavy impact padding. Many SCA rapier communities do not require glove padding, making these a natural fit for that context — you get blister and scrape protection during drills and bouts without sacrificing the dexterity rapier work demands. Glove requirements can vary by kingdom and local marshal, so please confirm your local rules before purchasing.

These are not intended for HEMA cut-and-thrust sparring, which involves heavier strikes and typically requires padded, impact-rated gloves regardless of weapon form. For that context, look at a padded glove option instead.
