Red Dragon HEMA Sparring Gloves – 13 Inch
Robust hand protection for HEMA, technical training, and controlled sparring with suitable synthetic training weapons.
The Red Dragon HEMA Sparring Gloves in 13 inches were developed for weapon-based martial arts and Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA). Their construction combines movable plastic protective elements with shock-absorbing padding and a durable microfiber outer material.
The gloves are particularly suitable for HEMA training, technical exercises, drills, partner training, and controlled sparring with appropriate synthetic training weapons.
Overlapping Protective Plates for Fingers
The finger areas feature overlapping plastic protective elements. This construction is designed to additionally shield the fingers during controlled hits while maintaining the mobility required for weapon training.
Shock-Absorbing Padding
Underneath the outer protective elements is shock-absorbing padding. Protective plates and padding work together to reduce the stresses that occur during intended use.
Important: Even suitable protective equipment cannot completely prevent injuries.
Durable Microfiber Outer Material

Note on Use with Steel Weapons
The gloves are primarily intended for training with suitable synthetic sparring weapons. Use during training with blunt steel weapons can lead to significantly higher mechanical stress and faster wear.
Such use should only occur if it is compatible with the manufacturer's specifications, the rules of the respective training system or club, and any additional protective equipment used.
Wear and Inspection
HEMA gloves are mechanically stressed sports and training equipment. Protective plates, padding, seams, and other components can wear out over time depending on intensity of use, impact load, and the training weapons used.
Therefore, the gloves should be inspected before each use for visible damage, cracks, loosened protective elements, damaged seams, or unusual wear. Damaged or heavily worn gloves should not continue to be used for sparring.
Safety Notice
Protective equipment can reduce the risk and severity of certain injuries, but it does not provide complete protection against injuries. Training and sparring should be conducted in a controlled manner and exclusively with suitable training equipment and any additional protective equipment required for the respective discipline.
