MADE TO ORDER ITEM

The Diestro Jacket was designed for light weapon use. Created by fencers in both SCA & HEMA, this jacket was made to look ”historical”, and at the same time offer the protection that HEMA fencers need. Inspired by doublets of the Renaissance, we decided to modify the Diestro with pockets for padding inserts. Pockets for padding inserts are located on the shoulder, front & side panels. The Diestro and Diestrx LS model both come with special gussets (armpit area) that improve arm articulation and prevent the jacket torso from rising.

Red Dragon Gorget is the perfect starter gorget! While it is inexpensive, it also offers good protection to the neck but also the clavicle.  This gorget is one size fits most, and can easily be worn under the gambeson or fencing jacket. The Velcro strap in the back makes it easy to use.

This gorget does not have back of the neck protection.

MADE TO ORDER ITEM

Made of hardened leather, the Thronewood Gorget is designed to provide protective coverage for the clavicle. We believe that clavicle protection is disregarded with most industry jackets, and so we wanted to design a Gorget that would cover and protect the wearer’s clavicle without restricting arm/shoulder movement.

Bib length. -13.5cm

The Rearguard v2 is an absolute beast of a fencing mask. Most fencing mask in the market are not made to handle the percussive strikes from a longsword. Fencing masks were originally designed to take hits directly to the face or hits around the face by light sport weapons i.e. modern saber (max weight 500grams/1.1lbs). HEMA Longswords could weight up to 3 lbs, and so the Rearguard team designed a mask that would provide the protection needed for HEMA.

Rearguard V2 Features:
– Elongated back of the mask, protecting the back side of the head
– Slightly elongated front mesh to reduce the possibility of a “bloody waffle” –  the imprint of mesh on skin
– Mesh backplate to protect the parietal bone
– Back-of-head protector to cover the occipital bone
– Inner reinforcement bar to help prevent mesh hitting the face
– Extra rubber ring on the forehead and back of the mask to help with force  absorption
– Grommeted holes for easier modification
– CEN2/FIE certified (1600N bib, 1000N mesh)

SIZING
Having your mask fit correctly is one of the most important things when wearing it. Keep in mind that the mask is slightly moldable – if it is tight on your chin and jaw, put it between your thighs or sit on it right where the full circumference rubber ring is, and exert pressure. This will elongate the mask a bit, allowing for a more comfortable fit. Some fencers also like to use an extra scrum cap underneath the mask for extra protection. If that’s the case, please keep it in mind when choosing your size. The size is measured be taking a measuring tape and going around your head in the following manner: under the chin – ear – top of head – ear – chin. Here are the sizing in cm:

S (56-60cm)
M (61-65cm)
L (66-69cm)
XL (over 70cm)

Special Padding
The Rearguard V2 comes with special Artificial Cartilage Foam padding that absorbs shock and covers the forehead, sides, and top the head. Microfiber chin pad reduces and eliminate rashes that could form on the chin. The material is antibacterial and very breathable.
