Product Code: SPES-J.Plastron2

HEMA Plastron Level 2 is a type of plastron with a larynx guard, dedicated for HEMA. We recommend it to coaches, beginners, and HEMAists who want to increase the level of their protection. This HEMA chest guard is completely made of materials with 800N puncture resistance, and its inner layer is made of cushioning 3D netting.


The collar has a bladecatcher which stops the blade from getting under fabric. It also has amortization in the form of cushioning foam. The Larynx guard in this HEMA plastron meets the requirements of larynx protection defined in some tournament rules.


There is also an ECO-leather pocket in the front of this plastron for additional strengthening foam which absorbs hit impact. This solution gives an option of modifying the level of protection in the front part. Regardless of the presence of additional covers, this HEMA guard always keeps 800N puncture resistance.


This plastron is fastened on the back with 4 buckles. Each belt has a regulation, which makes our HEMA gear adjustable, fitting different users.

History of a chest protector and its purpose
Plastron is used as outer torso protector amortizing hits. Its name derives from Old-Italian word piastrone, meaning breastplate. As you may know, it’s a front part of cuirass, protecting a torso of a user. In ancient times cuirass was made of materials like hardened leather. Greeks, but later also Romans, casted cuirasses with image of musculature. In Middle Ages such chest protectors were worn usually on chain armor or as part of plate armor.

Absurdly fast shipping, fantastic service!
I live in Louisiana, they almost always ship within the same day of any given order being placed, said item almost always is at my house the next day. The same can be said for my friends, who I have recommended PA to multiple times. They have definitely earned our loyalty.
