Description

The ELITE version is the most refined iteration of the plastron, especially due to the implementation of historical design principles.

Instead of a single-piece bustier, this innovative model consists of a central plate and two lateral plates at the shoulder level. These three elements are ingeniously articulated, offering increased arm movement without sacrificing protection. This design allows for exceptional mobility, essential for HEMA practice, while ensuring complete and secure coverage of the chest.

Its slightly curved shape is designed to distribute the impact energy, thus reducing the force transferred directly to the body. Moreover, a V-shaped 'blade-catcher' helps to deflect the tip of the opponent's blade outward, thereby reducing the shock sensation during a thrust.

This unique bustier model has played a key role in the renown of the MAC ARMOUR brand. Its innovative design, focusing on comfort and protection, makes it a preferred choice for HEMA practitioners.

Important information and terms of use

In the absence of a harmonized European standard specific to HEMA, this material does not benefit from the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) certification of the FIE-CE type.

The "350N" and "800N" ratings designate the fabric's puncture resistance measured in a laboratory. They do not constitute a guarantee against impacts and do not measure shock absorption, as the case may be.

The use of this equipment, particularly for the practice of HEMA, is under the sole responsibility of the user. It is recommended that the user adapt and complete their equipment according to the simulators used (steel, synthetic, wood), the intensity of their practice, and the regulatory requirements of their club or tournament.
