HEMA JACKET 350 N FOR HEMA SPARRINGS
JACKET FOR HISTORICAL MARTIAL ARTS
What is an HEMA jacket?
An HEMA jacket is protective equipment designed for the practice of European Historical Martial Arts. It protects the practitioner during armed combat with a long sword, a rapier or other steel or simulated bladed weapons.In historical fencing, strikes can be powerful and repeated. A suitable product is therefore essential for practising safely, without sacrificing freedom of movement.
Why choose a 350N jacket for HEMA?
The 350N standard refers to resistance to blade penetration. It is the level of protection recommended by the vast majority of French historical fencing clubs, and required in many competitions.A 350N-certified HMA fencing jacket offers a good balance between safety and mobility. It absorbs technical impacts without restricting movement, which makes all the difference during an intense fencing bout.
The essential criteria for good HEMA body protection
The quality of an HEMA body protection product depends on several specific factors. The integrated protection must cover the entire torso, back and arms. Some models feature rigid shells at the elbows and internal high-density foam supports to enhance shock absorption.The cut must allow the arms to move freely, the torso to turn without restriction, and the sword guard to be manoeuvred without hindering the hand. For men, as for any other body type, a good HMB jacket follows the body’s contours without constricting it.
For which combat systems is this jacket suitable?
These jackets are not limited to HEMA in the strict sense. They are suitable for all forms of armed fencing: long sword combat, rapier fencing, historical sabre fencing, or any other discipline using simulation or steel weapons.Whether for club training or competition, the protection offered by this type of jacket meets the requirements of modern historical fencing. The groin and impact zones are systematically covered, regardless of the technique used.
Choosing the right size and caring for your jacket
To choose your HEMA jacket, take your chest, back and arm measurements carefully. A precise fit ensures effective protection and full mobility whilst fencing.
