Warnings
Fencing by virtue of being a combat sport in which body contact by the weapon occurs, is by its nature dangerous. Protective clothing and equipment for fencers is intended as far as possible to prevent injuries or in the worst cases to reduce the severity of injuries, particularly by the point of the weapon.

Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of the breakage of blades may result in high tip velocities and consequent high energy impacts by the broken blade. Broken blades have been known to penetrate protective equipment with fatal consequences.  No protective equipment can offer full protection against injury.

Protective equipment must not be changed or manipulated. In particular stitching must not be opened or further parts be added or taken away.

Caring instructions must be respected. Non-respect of these instructions can reduce the level of protection of this garment.

Carefully inspect protective equipment for fencing at regular intervals to make sure, that no mechanical defects (like abrasion, holes, broken stitching, cracks) have occurred. If this has happened, the product may no longer be used.

Inspection of the cover should be made regularly for cuts, torn threads or excessive stretch and the cover replaced if in doubt. 

The chest protector relies on the tight fit of the cover to hold the guard securely in place over the breasts.
