Sir Nate:
maybe this is a better conversation for the Armoury.
Ian:
Let me rephrase. SCA weapons have to use lengths of rattan. :) That's the game they play. Most of their armor requirements and safety rules are based around them using 1 1/4'' diameter rattan weapons.
From the SCA Marshall's Handbook:
--- Quote ---. Single-Handed Weapons: Weapons that shall be used in one hand shall have the following requirements:
1. Single handed weapons shall be constructed of rattan or rattan-cored Siloflex or Siloflex equivalent and
shall be not less than 1 1⁄4 inch (31.8 mm) in total diameter (including tape) along its entire length
excepting the handle.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---Two-Handed Weapons. Weapons which may be used with one or two hands shall have the following
requirements:
1. Weapons shall be constructed of rattan of not less than 1 1/4 inch (31.8 mm) in diameter (including tape).
Polearms may contain blades constructed of split rattan, so long as the piece(s) are securely fastened to the
haft.

That looks like the Rawlings synthetic trainers. As Sir Ian was saying, only Rattan weapons are used in SCA heavy combat. But the plastic trainers are OK for some forms of WMA/HEMA training, depending on what you're doing. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the Rawlings synthetics (and much prefer the Purple Heart synthetics), simply because they bend quite a bit in the bind, making winding more difficult to do properly, and they tend to flop over each other in parries.
Sir Wolf:
i kinda like that coat of plates.
the spaulders are "off" to me.
