IN MOTU St. George HEMA fencing jacket 800N (EN 13567) women

Application
This garment is intended exclusively for use with safe, flexible blades intended for sport historical fencing.

The selection of the correct level of fencing protective equipment depends on the regulations of the respective national fencing association, as well as the International Fencing Federation (FIE). In any case, we strongly recommend using only protective fencing clothing of the highest level (EN 13567 + A1:2007, Level 2 > 800N, please refer to the label and the front of the accompanying sheet). In any case, an undergarment must also be worn under the fencing jacket. A fencing jacket must be worn together with fencing trousers with at least the same level of protection.

Please refer to the chart on our website for the correct fencing jacket size. Fencing protective clothing should be chosen large enough to allow for full freedom of movement.

The protective zones of the garment (shown in grey) are shown in the illustration above (see image gallery).

The following items of clothing are not part of the protection zones:

- The elastic bands on the sleeve openings
- The strap that is passed between the legs
- All other holding and fastening devices such as straps, Velcro fasteners, zippers, etc.

When putting on the fencing jacket, ensure that all fastening and closure devices (straps, buttons, zippers, Velcro fasteners, etc.) are fully and securely closed. If any fastening and/or closure devices no longer function properly, the jacket may no longer be used.

warnings
This fencing jacket is intended exclusively for use in competitive Olympic and historical fencing. The selection of the correct level of fencing protective equipment depends on the regulations of the respective fencing federation. We strongly recommend using only protective equipment of the highest level (EN 13567: 2002 + A1: 2007, Level 2). In any case, an undergarment must also be worn under the fencing jacket. A sabre jacket (without the triangular protection for the lower abdomen) must be worn together with fencing trousers with at least the same level of protection.

Fencing, as a combat sport involving physical contact with the fencing weapon, is inherently dangerous. The goal of protective equipment for fencers is to prevent injuries as much as possible or, in the worst case, to minimize the severity of injury, particularly from the tip of the weapon. Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of a blade breakage can lead to high tip speeds and high-energy impacts. Broken blades are known to penetrate protective clothing with potentially fatal consequences. Protective equipment for fencing cannot guarantee complete protection against injuries—especially those caused by broken blades.

Protective equipment must not be modified or tampered with by the user. In particular, seams must not be undone or other parts added or removed.

Fencing jackets are designed to be used by either right-handed or left-handed users (weapon-wielding arm) (see marking on the cover). Fencing clothing designed for right-handed users may never be used by left-handed users (and vice versa).

The care instructions must be strictly observed. Failure to comply may result in a reduction in the protective properties. Fencing protective equipment should be regularly inspected for any mechanical damage (abrasions, tears, holes, torn seams). If this occurs, the protective effect may be reduced, and the protective equipment must no longer be used.


Cleaning, care and storage
The product is washable at 30°C on a delicate cycle. Use a mild detergent. The jacket should not be spun or tumble dried, as mechanical stress can reduce its protective effect. All fasteners must be closed before washing.

Store in the original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct light.
This protective clothing does not contain any substances suspected of adversely affecting the health or hygiene of the user under conditions of normal use.

This protective clothing complies with the health and safety requirements of Regulation 2016/425.
