HGC Notes: This 14th century style Breastplate is ultra light, and looks amazing. Great for those who want to practice armored combat drills. HEMA training and tournament chest protector Chest protector for safe stabbing practice and better chest protection during tournaments. The protector is designed to be worn under the fencing jacket. Though it can be worn over the jacket for better aesthetics. It is based on already known historical principles. Movable armhole segment is attached to the chest protector. This approach provides better freedom of movement and together with the double reinforcement improve your protection! The slightly arched shape helps to distribute the energy of the hit. The energy won’t be transferred directly into your body. The protector is not a cuirass!!! It does not cover the belly!!!
