SPES Officers Fencing Jacket 350N
This fencing jacket was designed mostly for single hand sword work bridging the gap between the lighter JF Fencing Jacket and heavier AP Jacket. We found that the excellent protection of the AP jacket is not often needed when doing singlehand sword work, especially with a shield or sabre.
Additional Forearm/elbow guard is recommended.

breathable padding made of a spacing mesh ensures heat and moisture
removal as well as high air permeability what greatly boosts the comfort
of use.
Safety level has been increased by the use of wide overlap in front with an additional inner mounting, which prevents sliding.
A double mounting on zipper and snaps, ensures a durable and reliable clasp.
The jacket has a blade catcher which protects your larynx from sharp blades.
The
drawstring at the waist level on the back ensures a better fit of the
jacket. Arms and shoulders have additional layers of padding for better
amortization.
The sleeves are equipped with mountings, which allow you to mount additional elbow protectors.
