This fenicing plastron is designed exclusively for use in the sport of fencing according to the rules of the International Fencing Federation (FIE). Selecting the correct level of performance for protective equipment for fencers should be in accordance with the regulations of the relevant national fencing federation. We strongly recommend, in all cases, using only fencing protective gear of the highest level of performance (EN 13567: 2002 + A1: 2007 Level 2). In any case an additional fencing jacket has to be used with the fencing plastron.
Please refer to the size chart to determine the correct size of the fencing plastron. Protective clothing for fencing should be chosen big enough to ensure room to move.
When fastening your underplastron, make sure, that all fastening devices (straps, velcros, zippers, buttons etc.) are closed completely and firmly. The elastics should be adjusted in a way, that they are under light tension. The garment may not be used any longer, if any of the fastening devices doesn’t work properly.
The underplastron has to be worn under a fencing jacket of performance level 2. 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.
Protective equipment must not be changed or manipulated. In particular, seams should not be unstitched, and no parts should be added or removed.
Fencing clothing is designed to only be used by either left handers or right handers (see marking on the cover page). Fencing clothing for right handers must not be used by left handers and vice versa.
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.
This garment can be washed at 30°C in a mild detergent. Don’t spin-dry or tumble this garment, as the mechanical impacts might reduce its level of protection. All closures have to be closed during washing.
