Yesterday I recieved my new prototype light sparring gloves from St Mark - Fencing Clothes & Equipment and I'm very happy with them. Specially aimed at low gear sparring and I think they will fit great in a rapier. (Maybe it's time I get myself one of those ;) ) The gloves fit very well, they have padding on the hand for accidental hits that give a lot of mobility. Obviously I wouldn't spar woth longswords with these, but that's not what they are made for. When doing drills where the hands aren't a target or sparring only on the head, accidental hits occur. That's what these are for.
