SPES AP Light Womens Jacket 350N

SPES AP Light Fencing Womens Jacket 350N

Light HEMA jacket based on the popular "AP" 350N model.

Features include an overlap in the front, bladecatcher near neck.

"AP Light" is characterized by low weight, breathable construction, adjustable waist and extra pockets with foam (on shoulders, on front flap, and on sides).

This HEMA jacket is thinner than the regular "AP" but still made from 350N puncture resistance fabric. Its lining allows heat and moisture removal but also has the antibacterial function. On the sleeves you can find grips for additional elbow protectors.

Adjustable strap lets a wearer adjust the waist.
Cuts on back let the lower part of a clothing lay in freely and don't hinder movement.

Thanks to extra pockets for foams, the protection level of ribs, shoulders and front can be improved. This feature allows using this jacket in light historical fencing trainings, as well as tournament duels. (With extra protection)

NOTE! You can modify your HEMA jacket by way of embroidery.
