Rigid Forearm Protection

The Mac Armour rigid forearm guards are an essential addition to your HEMA jacket, specifically designed to enhance the protection offered by your gambeson or jacket. They are directly inspired by historical armor, where the rigid plate distributes impact over a wide area, while the padding layer underneath absorbs and cushions the shock.

These guards are particularly beneficial for practitioners whose HEMA jackets do not include specific protection for the forearms, a particularly exposed area during combat.

Made from durable material, these guards are currently available in one size to fit the majority of practitioners.

They can be complemented with other rigid plastic armor pieces, such as elbow guards and shoulder guards, allowing you to create a complete and coherent protection set.

Weighing only 110g each, these guards offer an excellent protection-to-weight ratio, allowing for extended training sessions without excessive fatigue. Their lightness does not compromise their sturdiness, ensuring reliable protection even during the most vigorous exchanges.

Whether you are looking to complete your existing gear or specifically enhance the protection of your forearms, these Mac Armour guards represent a wise investment for any HEMA practitioner.
