hema sparring jacket

hema sparring jacketThe Red Dragon HEMA Sparring Jacket has been designed specifically for HEMA and is crafted from heavy duty cotton with a 350N rating, featuring an inner lining. The jacket is well padded to absorb strikes, though it lacks padding on the back, as effective blows there are extremely rare. This results in reduced weight and improved breathability. The front panel with a zip overlaps to provide a double layer of protection against thrusts to the torso.
