Description
Details
This fencing jacket was designed with the help and suggestions of Axel Pettersson, to serve the needs of the Swedish schools of historical fencing ("Gothenburg Historical Fencing School" in particular). The jacket closes in front (see the picture) with the help of a zipper and velcro. On the front of the collar, there is a broad overlap which closes with velcro. The sleeves are specially designed for better arm movement. Also, there are additional protective layers on the chest, shoulders and elbows. The layers of fabric (from the outside) are: 1 layer of cotton, one protective layer, and 1 layer of lining. The jacket was tested at many seminars as well as one in Helsinki on 9-11.08.2011 lead by Axel Pettersson.
The jacket is made of fabrics which have a 350N puncture resistance certificate.
Improvements in the V2.0 jackets are:
• The construction of the jacket was strengthened.
• Outer fabric has been changed to obtain higher resistance. Basis weight of the fabric is now minimum 750g/m2.
• Zipper has been replaced by new, much stronger type.

The fabric that covers the zip could be wider and have velcro to protect the zip more but sure it will be fine. The collar works great with a gorget and really helps provide solid throat protection. The jacket is reasonably well padded where it needs to be and I am looking forward to a happy relationship with it .
If you are reading this you probably know about the AP jacket so no need to go into fine detail, you won't be disappointed. Thank you HEMA shop for great communication and swift delivery. (Posted on 20/02/2018)
