Sized similarly to lacrosse gloves, they offer superior hand protection and mobility for synthetic and blunted steel weapon martial arts, making them an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned practitioners. ## Description 13" HEMA Sparring Gloves Developed in conjunction with the HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) community these sparring gloves are at the forefront of providing affordable hand protection for any of the weapons based martial arts. The gloves feature molded plastic plates over high impact shock absorbing foam, providing a high level of protection from many types of blunt weapons used by martial artists. The fingers are protected by overlapping finger plates providing good protection with maximum mobility. The outer covering is a tough microfiber material, a welcome upgrade from the typical synthetic leather coverings. These gloves were developed specifically for full protection against synthetic sparring weapons but are used by many groups using blunted steel weapons as well. Sizing: The Sparring Gloves are sized in the same manner as lacrosse gloves. The table below is a good guide but as a rule of thumb if you wear size small gloves in general the 12" will be for you, any larger and the 13" should be sufficient. Review: Nice entry level HEMA glove - I've just recently started HEMA and I was excited to get these gloves. They are good entry level gloves for synthetic sword learning and sparing. If just starting out they are a good light sparing glove. Review: Size is a bit uncomfortable - They feel ok but feel a bit too bulky, can barely fit on my steel 1803 slotted BF sabre but feels uncomfortable to swing sometimes since the fingers get squished on top of each other. They can definitely be better but are okay for the price. ## Features - Product Type: Sporting Goods - Package Dimensions: 11.9 L X 28.2 W X 28.6 H (Cm) - Country Of Origin: United Kingdom - Package Weight: 0.543 Kilograms ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Item Package Dimensions L x W x H | 11.26 x 11.1 x 4.69 inches | | Package Weight | 0.54 Kilograms | | Item Dimensions LxWxH | 5 x 5 x 5 inches | | Item Weight | 0.54 Kilograms | | Brand Name | RED DRAGON | | Warranty Description | 30 Days | | Model Name | HEMA Gloves 13" | | Color | Black | | Material | Other | | Suggested Users | unisex-adult | | Number of Items | 1 | | Manufacturer | Red Dragon | | Part Number | AR7004 | | Size | One Size | | Sport Type | Lacrosse | | Handle Material | Plastic | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | ## Images ![Hema Gloves 13" AR7004 Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RcULjI0IL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do i size these?** A: If your over 5'6" and wear gloves L or above go with 13"12" fits our smaller students **Q: Why does it say "knife" at the end of the name of these gloves?** A: no idea good gloves thogh **Q: How do i measure my hand to get the right size?** A: Its a one size fits most **Q: Are these adequate for SCA heavy combat?** A: I use them in my Chinese sword fencing (Jianfa) classes, and we routinely wack each other with either hickory swords or metal sparring swords. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice entry level HEMA glove *by S***1 on January 25, 2025* I've just recently started HEMA and I was excited to get these gloves. They are good entry level gloves for synthetic sword learning and sparing. If just starting out they are a good light sparing glove. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Size is a bit uncomfortable *by J***Z on April 27, 2026* They feel ok but feel a bit too bulky, can barely fit on my steel 1803 slotted BF sabre but feels uncomfortable to swing sometimes since the fingers get squished on top of each other. They can definitely be better but are okay for the price. ### ⭐ Painful *by G***E on May 7, 2026* These are unusually painful to wear. Once my fingers curled inside, the ring finger knuckle was pinched so tightly I couldn’t maintain a grip for long. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/47812082-hema-gloves-13-ar7004-black](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/47812082-hema-gloves-13-ar7004-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
