SPARRING HEMA GORGET

Combat gorget: protection for your fights

In HEMA, the neck and throat are among the areas most exposed to direct strikes. A single unprotected impact can end a fight, or even cause a serious injury. The combat gorget has been specifically designed to address this reality: to offer maximum protection for this critical area, without ever restricting the practitioner’s movements.

This is a reinforced model, designed for fighters who train and compete in conditions close to real combat. Whether you practise longsword, rapier or any other combat system, this throat guard allows you to approach every exchange with complete peace of mind.

Reinforced neck and throat protection thanks to two downward-sloping plates

• Preserved neck mobility for fluid up/down movements
• Optimal lightness for long-lasting wear in HEMA
• Designed for safe combat
• Why choose this gorgerin?

Whereas a standard gorgerin merely covers the base of the neck, this model goes much further. Two rigid, articulated plates extend down the front of the neck to cover the throat. An extended surface area that makes a real difference against direct strikes.

The design incorporates deliberate play between the components so as not to restrict the head’s natural rotations and tilts. You can dodge, look to the sides, adjust your guard: the gorget follows, without restricting movement. It is a technical detail that makes all the difference during a prolonged bout.

The high-strength plastic used for the protective shell ensures effective impact absorption whilst keeping the weight very low. Where steel protection would add extra rigidity and weight, technical plastic offers durability and lightness for everyday use. A valuable asset for stringing together exchanges without feeling the strain of the equipment.

This HEMA gorget is suitable for a wide range of disciplines: historical fencing, long sword, rapier combat, and competitive bouts. Serious equipment for serious practitioners.

Experience the difference: safety and performance in HEMA combat

Picture yourself in the thick of battle. Blades clash, the pace quickens. You pivot, your opponent lands a high strike. The BLAKLIST gorget takes the blow. Your neck is protected, your throat out of reach. You carry on, uninterrupted, without fear. It is precisely this mental freedom that this HMB gorget offers you.

The inner foam padding absorbs shocks and maintains real comfort over time. The rigid outer shell does the rest. Together, these two elements form reliable protection that almost disappears from your consciousness once the gorget is in place — you no longer think about your equipment, you think about the fight.
