This set of rigid protections can be positioned over your fencing jacket to provide superior protection against intense impacts. Easy to install and highly adaptable, this kit significantly enhances the protection of these areas that are highly exposed to strikes in combat.

• Sold in pairs
• Designed and tested by high-level HEMA fencers
• Set of 2 pieces covering the elbow and forearm
• Made from lightweight and rigid polyethylene for maximum durability
• Compatible with any HEMA jacket or gambeson thanks to strategically placed velcro straps

Each protection consists of two distinct pieces, ensuring complete coverage of the elbow and forearm. The protections are made of high-density polyethylene, a material known for its lightness and exceptional rigidity. This unique combination allows for maximum protection without compromising mobility, a crucial aspect in the practice of HEMA.

Adaptability and Custom Fit

One of the major strengths of this kit is its versatility. Thanks to an ingenious velcro fastening system, these protections can be easily installed on any HEMA jacket or gambeson, whether or not it is equipped with specific mounting points. This feature allows practitioners to significantly enhance the protection of their existing equipment without the need to purchase a new jacket.

Installation and Use

The kit installation is simple and quick. The carefully positioned velcro straps allow each piece to be securely fastened, ensuring stable support even during intense movements. This design ensures that the protections stay in place throughout training or combat, offering constant security.

Comfort and Mobility

Despite their high level of protection, these protections have been designed not to hinder the natural movements of the arm. The lightness of the polyethylene, combined with an ergonomic design, allows practitioners to maintain their agility and speed, essential in historical fencing exchanges.
