Chest protector for safe stabbing practice and better chest protection during tournaments.
The protector is designed to be worn under the fencing jacket.
It is based on already known historical principles. Movable armhole segment is attached to the chest protector. This approach provides better freedom of movement and together with the double reinforcement improve your protection! The slightly arched shape helps to distribute the energy of the hit. The energy won’t be transferred directly into your body.
The protector is not a cuirass!!! It does not cover belly!!!

NegativesOnly real drawback is the straps. The Y harness I received with it worked but I had to tape it to the length I needed it at. Now I have done away with it and sewed in Nylon straps and tie it to my back like an AKM chicom.
The other problem I’ve noticed doesn’t really bother me since I am not super muscular or tall but the plate is small and tight to some people. The width can be fixed by heating it and adjusting to size. But it is comparable to wearing a small sized plate carrier.
