Title: HEMA gear
Post by: Sir Edward on 2012-03-28, 15:18:18

This sporting equipment company now has a HEMA category:

Their helmet actually looks like a decent deal. $99, and it's built like a fencing mask, but with side and back protection.

I've added them to the links page.

Very cool! I wonder if the inner liner is removable for washing?

Perhaps but you wouldn't want to be accused of trying to take unfair advantage of your dueling opponent by incapacitating them with the stench of your reeking equipment now would you?  ;)

You receive a -7 "to hit" penalty due to my stench aura. Go ahead, roll your d20. :)

That would be 'win' at any cost, perhaps?  Not exactly chivalric...but effective, no?  lol
