This jacket has the so-called double closure. The front has a black trim. Blade catcher is attached to the collar, and on the back there is an adjustment belt. As in every women's jacket, the lower edge of the AP Light Plus is finished with slits at the back. Mounting points on elbows allow you to use additional overlays, e.g. Shell or PRO.
Like its archetype, AP Light Plus is made of 350N puncture resistant materials. Inside, there are pockets for additional foams (included in the set). You can modify the cushioning of the jacket at any time - add extra layers or get rid of them altogether. The choice is up to the user. The lining is made of 3D mesh.
AP Light Plus is a lightweight jacket with breathable layers like other jackets in the Light series. It provides a high level of mobility, so it will not restrict movement during exercise. You can be sure that the jacket will not change its position during training thanks to the possibility of adjusting to the body. The women's version of the AP Light Plus gives a wide range of modifications, thanks to which it will be perfect for both heavy and light HEMA training.

SPES HEMA Cloak 350N - Colour Option - Special Order
Our HEMA Cloak 350N came into existence at the request of Rebel Fencing School. This type of garment refers to the cloak-and-dagger genre.
Learn More
HEMA Cloak can be worn by women and men. This item is lightweight and it will perfectly fulfill your training gear. We recommend using it with a rapier or sword, but you can also use it with other light simulators.
Gear of this type has a form of a segment of a circle. It has a black lining and a collar. It is fastened with leather laces in front and it rests on shoulders.
Our HEMA Cloak is sewn from 350N puncture-resistant fabric. It is similar to medieval cloaks from three-quarters of a circle. In comparison to the woolen original, our HEMA cape is much lighter. This cape can be worn on both shoulders, on one shoulder, or in the hand, like a shield.
