Fencing, as a combat sport that involves physical contact with fencing weapons, is inherently dangerous. The purpose of fencing protective equipment is to prevent injuries as much as possible or, at worst, to minimize the severity of injuries, particularly from the weapon’s tip. Broken blades present a particular risk. The circumstances of a blade breakage may result in high tip velocities and consequent high energy impacts by the broken blade. It is known that broken blades can penetrate protective clothing with potentially fatal consequences. Fencing protective gear cannot guarantee complete protection against injuries, especially from broken blades. The protective function of fencing socks is limited to reducing superficial injuries such as abrasions and bruises.

Protective equipment must not be changed or manipulated. In particular, seams should not be unstitched, and no parts should be added or removed.

Care instructions must be strictly followed. Non-compliance can reduce the level of protection of the equipment. Fencing protective equipment should be regularly inspected carefully for mechanical damage (abrasions, tears, holes, torn seams). If such damage is detected, the protective effectiveness may be compromised, and the protective equipment must no longer be used.

The fencing socks are washable at 60°C on a gentle cycle. They must not be spun or tumble-dried. Store in a cool, dry place without direct light exposure.
