Description Sizing Shipping Information
 
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 of 5 Great protection, awkward to put on April 3, 2023
Reviewer: Benjamin Day from Vancouver, BC, Canada  
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 size, and protects well, but it has a near-useless tiny bungie cord that is supposed to attach to the coat and keep it anchored on the elbow. It's too stretchy though, so the protectors tend to slide down anyway, and no amount of knots will keep the cord in place. I recommend replacing it with paracord or something more rigid to keep it in place.
