Product Code: SPES-Forearm.Light

HEMA protectors made of styrogum. These forearm protectors have some special, elastic velcro straps. Straps help in keeping the styrogum protectors in the shape given by the user. In practice, our “Light” Forearm Protectors are an elastic HEMA protective gear, fitting every forearm. Straps also ensure a proper fitting to the jacket.

NOTE! Product is provided unfolded. It has a shape memory and user folds it on his own in a form suitable for oneself before first use. After the training with the styrogum protectors, user should put them away in a folded form, with fastened straps. It will prevent the forearm protectors from losing a given shape, what can happen after a longer time without using.

The features of protectors.

Styrogum is characterized by both high durability and resistance to hits. Our forearm protectors are also very flexible, what makes them easy in fitting to the user's arms.

Material of these shields provides an alternative solution in the category of HEMA protective gear. Their shape can be modified and matched to user's needs. What is more, “Light” Forearm Protectors are convenient. They don't bother the movement and don't have any elements which could disturb the user during the fight.

In comparison to “Vectir” Forearm Protectors, these are lighter, shorter, and narrower. There is a possibility of increasing the level of protection with “Shell” Elbow Protectors. These can be easily mounted to the Velcro tapes on the inside of the protectors.

SPES Light Forearm Protector
Lightweight, awesome protection. I used a thinner forearm protector before and would feel hits more, with this one, I don't really feel them at all, I just hear the thud sound on impact. They take a little bending to get into shape and loosen up to fit your arm in the beginning. Easy to strap onto jacket and slip in and out of. Recommend :)

Good Forearm Protectors
Having used both the VECTIR and Geko style SPES forearms, I would recommend these over the other two models, especially if your forearms are on the smaller side. These are significantly lighter and less bulky, and they're sufficiently protective for longsword sparring, even when used on a jacket with minimal forearm padding, such as the SPES light. There's a bit of effort in getting them in sh
