Well Phantomlink959, it is a rather well statement of hand protection, but the thing is that you have noticed how thin Yang's gloves are right? Or Nora's? Or Pyrrha's? I don't want to fight against your viewpoint, but if they were to be for protection: they need to be a lot bigger in padding. Also, in Yang's dream she was able to fire her gauntlets without gloves. So it seems such a thing can still be done in real life. Like it was said before, aura is a strong defense and gloves are made for protection. So I seriously doubt that gloves as thin as Yang's and Nora's can be that protective if they don't have the strong padding for it and believe me: I looked very closely.
