Range of application
This garment is designed for use in the sport of fencing according to the rules of the international fencing federation (F.I.E.)

To choose the correct level of performance for protective clothing for fencers please refer to the rules of your national fencing federation. We strictly recommend to only use fencing clothing of the highest level of performance (EN 13567 + A1:2007 Level 2>800N), in any case an additional underplastron has to be used with the fencing jacket. A sabre jacket (without the triangular protection of the abdomen) must be worn together with fencing breeches of at least the same performance level.

To find out the correct size of your fencing jacket please refer to the table on our website. Protective clothing for fencing should be chosen big enough to ensure room to move. However it should be tight enough to avoid that the fabric falls in folds which might catch the opponent’s blade.

The zones of protection of this protective garment (shown in grey color) can be seen from the following figure:

   

The following parts of the garment are not part of the protective zones:
  • the elastics at the end of the sleeves
  • the tightening strap that is placed between the legs
  • all other fastening devices like straps, hook and loop fasteners, zippers etc.
When fastening your fencing jacket, make sure, that all fastening devices (straps, hook and loop fasteners, zippers, buttons etc.) are closed completely and firmly. The garment may not be used any longer, if any of the fastening devices doesn’t work properly.
