AP Light Plus 350N was created on the basis of AP Light 350N and solutions used during the production of AP Plus 350N. Except that it is thinner and lighter than the AP.

It is recommended for every person practicing HEMA, regardless of the level of skills or advancement. It is so universal that it can become a base for both light and heavy equipment for HEMA.

The AP Light Plus 350N jacket has the so-called double closure (velcro + zipper). It has black trim at the front. The blade catcher is attached to the collar, and at the back - adjustment belt.

AP Light Plus, like its prototype, is made of 350N puncture-resistant fabrics. There are additional mounts on the elbows, e.g. for Shell overlays. This jacket also has pockets for foams (included in the set). You can modify them and change the strength level of the shoulders, front, and sides of the torso.

This type of AP Light is characterized by low weight, breathable construction, high level of mobility, and a wide range of modifications. It does not restrict movement during training.

AP PLUS 350N jacket is based on the iconic AP 350N jacket. However, it has several extras that will make your life easier during training: backstrap, mounting points for overlays (like Shell), plus a double-closure!

The jacket has a front flap with black trim. This model of AP is closed with a zipper and velcros (so-called double closure). Like most of our gear, the collar has a blade catcher and an adjustable strap on the back.

Quilting of the AP PLUS refers to the basic AP model. The length of the jacket also remains the same as the rest of this series. Fabrics used in this gear have 350N puncture resistance. There are additional mounting points on elbows e.g. shell. The inner construction of felt also refers to classic AP. There are cushioning layers on the chest, shoulders and elbows.

AP PLUS 350N doesn’t hinder the movement and ensures the wearer’s mobility during training. Thanks to the adjustable belt section, it fits the body shape even better than standard AP. We use recycled materials as padding in this jacket. This solution makes it more economic, but equally durable as the original.

This fencing jacket was designed with the help and suggestions of Axel Pettersson, to serve the needs of the Swedish schools of historical fencing ("Gothenburg Historical Fencing School" in particular). The jacket closes in front (see the picture) with the help of a zipper and velcro. On the front of the collar, there is a broad overlap which closes with velcro. The sleeves are specially designed for better arm movement. Also, there are additional protective layers on the chest, shoulders and elbows. The layers of fabric (from the outside) are: 1 layer of cotton, one protective layer, and 1 layer of lining. The jacket was tested at many seminars as well as one in Helsinki on 9-11.08.2011 lead by Axel Pettersson.

A light fencing jacket based on the popular "AP" 350N model. Besides the features like an overlap in the front, blade catcher, or amortisation layer, the "AP Light" is characterised by its low weight, breathable construction, adjustable waist, and extra pockets with foam. This jacket is thinner than the regular "AP" but still made from 350N puncture resistance fabric. The lining allows heat and moisture wicking and provides antibacterial protection.
