  • SPES "Geko" Forearm and Elbow Protector

    Made from ecological leather, "Geko" Forearm Protectors, decrease the chances of getting injured during historical fencing training. They are very durable and are specially cambered to be as resistant as possible.

    Even though these protectors look as if they are made of natural leather, no materials of animal origin have been used in the production. The material is quite easy in cleaning and maintenance.

    Rubbers on the protectors ensure the proper setting and fitting to forearms. Thanks to the adjustable velcro straps, "Shell" Elbow Protectors can be mounted and fitted with the set.

    These covers are a bit shorter and better fitted to the forearm's shape than the "Vectir" Forearm and Elbow Protectors, which ensures more comfortable usage.

    Price per pair.

  • SPES Mitten Gloves NG 800N

    Mitten Gloves NG 800N has a characteristic design, which makes them stand out.

    This model is dedicated for both advanced users and beginners. Their universal size makes them also appropriate for men and women.

    Mitten gloves are designed for HEMA training of low intensity, especially with the use of one-handed simulators, like our SPES Sabre Blue. Mittens have only one separate finger - a thumb. They are made of black fabric, with synthetic grey leather on the inner side.

    Gloves cover the whole hand with the wrist, closing the space between fingers. Our gloves are made from a composite of 800N puncture resistance. Additionally, they have a layer of felt and so-called “intelligent foam” with very good cushioning properties.

    The simple design makes our Mittens comfortable and easy to use. Synthetic leather gives a convenient, secure grip.

    Outer fabric: 50% Polyamide, 25% Cotton, 25% Polyester
    Inner fabric: 100% Polyester
