The safety standards in HEMA are inherited from modern fencing, where rigorous puncture resistance tests have been developed for protective fabrics. These tests, measuring the force required to puncture equipment, have given rise to 350N, 800N and 1600N certifications, guaranteeing the impenetrability of protections during fights.
Our selection covers these three levels of certification, adapting to various intensities of HEMA practice. The 350N protections are suitable for standard practice and offer a good guarantee of resistance, the 800N offers enhanced safety for jackets and trousers, while the 1600N level, mainly reserved for masks, ensures maximum protection even for international competitions.
If you wish to choose protective equipment certified by official bodies, you will find here a wide range of equipment with the guarantee of proven resistance.
