Although the legs are not always the main targets in HEMA, their protection becomes crucial as one progresses in practice, particularly in competition. This category encompasses various essential equipment for the practitioner's safety.

Fencing or HEMA trousers offer a first line of defense, combining resistance and mobility.

For more targeted protection, shin guards and knee pads become indispensable during intense sparring and competitions. These pieces of equipment absorb direct impacts, reducing the risk of injuries to the lower limbs.

Reinforced shorts or thigh pads complete the protective arsenal, covering an area often overlooked but vulnerable to side blows. The set of these protections allows HEMA practitioners to fully engage in their fights, minimizing the risk of leg injuries and ensuring safe practice at all levels.
