Red Dragon HEMA Light Sparring Hoodie

Let’s face it, padded sparring jackets take up a lot of space in your kit bag! They are also overkill in many situations where you don’t require that level of protection.  Over the years, we have seen countless people augment their sweatshirts and hoodies with forearm, elbow and throat protection for light sparring situations. Well now you don’t have to!

Our stylish Light Sparring Hoodies feature integrated foam pads in the shoulders/upper arms and elbows/forearms. These pads can be removed for washing, or when you simply don’t require the protection they afford. The collar features a blade catcher and integrated plastic throat protector backed with a foam pad to absorb impact. This is securely fastened by Velcro and is also removable. The long zip is reinforced by a press stud at the top and bottom and the hood can also be unzipped and removed if required. It features reinforced elbow patches and zipped pockets.

This item is not puncture-proof and does not have a Newton rating. It is designed for light, controlled sparring. It is not designed for, and should not be used for full contact, steel sparring.
