Light fencingjacket based on the popular "AP" 350N model.

It is recommended for every person practicing HEMA, regardless of the level of skills or
advancement. It is so universal that it can become a base for both light and heavy equipment for HEMA.

The AP Light Plus 350N jacket has a front double closure (velcro + zipper).
Blade catcher is attached to the collar, and at the back - adjustment belt.

AP Light Plus, like its prototype, is made of 350N puncture resistant fabrics.
There are additional mounts for elbow guards.This jacket also has pockets
for foams (included in the set). You can modify them and change the strength level of the shoulders,
front and sides of the torso.

This type of AP Light is characterized by low weight, breathable construction, high level of mobility
and a wide range of modifications. It does not restrict movement during training.

- 350N punctureresistance certificate
- Front double closure (velcro + zipper).
- Lower weight
- Pockets forfoams
- Breathablelining with antibacterial function
- Bladecatcher
- Pockets for elbowprotectors
- Adjustable waist

#1. Does the AP Light Jacket offer adequate protection for the full range of HEMA styles from longsword to rapier? I know it offers less then the regular style but I'm just curious how scaled down that protection is in comparison.

PHA> If you are doing ALL HEMA, its a good choice. Its less impact resistant than the AP, but more than the officer. Range of motion is also somewhat in-between.

#2. Is the light variant made from the same material as the regular SPES jacket? If not, what material?

PHA> It has more synthetic materials, including a open cell foam that is fairly breathable.

#3. Lastly, how significant is it in terms of the reduction of heat compared to the regular style?

PHA> Significant. Because of the open foam, mostly in the back.

Ultimately, I want a jacket that still is protective for all styles of HEMA combat but does not overheat excessively, as I will be practicing outside as well. Of the two, the SPES Axel Jacket V2.0 or the SPES AP Light 350N, which would you recommend?

PHA> The light for sure. You may get a few more bruises, but you will be cooler and have better motion.

New policy: we are imposing a $25 restocking fee on any return, exchange OR change in the open order for any special color (not black) on any SPES jacket or pants.
So please review your orders carefully and be sure you leave yourself time for your order to arrive if you want custom work, usually 4 weeks. I try to have black jackets and pants in stock at all times!
