    CLEARANCE: Canceled colour option.
    Quantity: 1

    A lightweight HEMA jacket based on the AP Light 350N model. This version has enlarged pockets at the front - this gives a better cover on the chest and collarbones. Among features like a front flap, blade catcher, and amortization layers, AP Light NG 800N is characterized by its lowered weight, breathable padding, adjustable waist, and extra pockets for additional foams. The fabric used in this jacket has 800N puncture resistance. Its lining has both moisture and warm removal features, and antibacterial properties. Sleeves in this model have velcro tapes for additional elbow overlays. Pockets for cushioning foams make this jacket easily modifiable in shoulder resistance, front, and sides.

  • SPES AP PRO PLUS Jacket 350N

    The design of this jacket provides perfect cushioning during the most demanding HEMA training, like sparring with the use of a feder sword. However, outer overlays are detachable, so you can use this jacket also during less challenging training.

    This jacket is made from a fabric of 350N puncture resistance. On the front, there is a layer of black suede leather attached with velcros. AP PRO PLUS is fastened with a zipper and velcro (so-called double fastening). The collar is equipped with a blade catcher and the sleeves - with PRO overlays. The leather part on the front increases the level of cushioning, but also gives the jacket a characteristic look. The back is equipped with an adjustable strap for better fitting to the body shape. When it comes to the filling of the jacket, it has the same felt stuffing as the standard model. Mounting points for PRO overlays (attached to the set) are upgraded. Now they are similar to those from the NG line, but in black color. PRO overlays are also upgraded with a slightly modified, modern design.

    This jacket combines high durability with comfort of wearing. HEMA practitioners will surely appreciate such a combination. Despite the high level of cushioning, you will feel comfortable wearing the AP PRO PLUS 350N model, and your movement will remain fast and firm. The leather layer on the front does not decrease mobility. PRO overlays on the sleeves provide full cushioning - you won’t need additional gear for this jacket! This means more time for training instead of laborious preparation for it. The stuffing of this jacket is made of recycled fabrics, so AP PRO PLUS 350N is also economical.

    Outer fabric: 50% Cotton, 50% Polyester

    100% Polyester

  • SPES Cavalry Trousers 350N

    1 Review(s)

    The cavalry trousers are made from a durable 350N puncture resistance fabric. The material used and design on the trousers don't hinder the freedom of movement. The legs of these trousers are long and loose. This allows placing additional protection underneath. The trousers are also adjustable at the waist with straps on the sides.

    The asymmetrical front flap by the belt is closed with three buttons, a zipper, and velcro. The trousers have a characteristic crease in front, along the entire length, and decorative golden stripes on the sides. These are inspired by the 19th-century military trousers.

    Outer fabric: 100% cotton
    Inner fabric: 50% cotton, 50% polyester
    Weight: 1 kg

    Buy the SPES Light Fencing Pants 350N with confidence from the UK’s leading HEMA protection retailer
