Product Code: SPES-Forearm.Elbow.Geko
The following items are included FREE with this product:
Forearm and Elbow Protectors PRO mitigate the chances of hurting forearms during historical fencing trainings. This model has additional elbow protectors. The set was made from synthetic leather, durable materials and cambered plastic – it ensures high resistance against hits. The leather part comes around the plastic elbow cover which prevents the gaps.

Even though these protectors look as if they are made of natural leather,no materials of animal origin have been used in the production. The material is quite easy in cleaning and maintenance.

Elbow protectors are specially cambered to ensure the best protection during trainings. Protective parts do not come off the arms and additional rubbers ensure proper fitting. Thanks to adjustable velcros, elbow protection has changable length, and also can be removed from forearms.

In comparison with "Vectir" Forearm and Elbow Protectors, "Geko" PRO covers are a bit shorter and better fitted to the forearm's shape, which ensures more comfortable usage.

Price per pair.One Size, Black Only.
4 oz lighter for the pair than the standard forearms.
Smother feel since its the synthetic leather. Same plastic inserts for protection.
Attached with Velcro straps. The velcro in the center is the attachment point if you have elbows.
Slightly shorter as well as you can see from the pictures. The Geko is on top.

Protective but poor fit
The forearm guards were made for either someone with a fair bit larger forearms than me, or a fair bit smaller. Sounds weird, but there are plastic plates inside the leather in these, and all the plates feel like they are the same width, so the edges (where you would want one side to lay over the other to close these around the forearm) are as inflexible as the centerline of the guard. For my size

Great protection, awkward to put on
The protectors are a nice leather with plastic robs running through them, so any blow to the arms is distributed to the whole forearm and doesn't hurt. They awkward to put on though - the straps that wrap around don't have any loops to keep them in place while trying to put them on with one hand, instead wrapping all the way around and Velcro-ing to themselves. The elbow cup is lightweight, a good
