A UNIC 800N fencing chest protector It offers the highest level of safety and comfort to fencers who do not wish to compromise during training or competitions. The material, with a tensile strength of 800N, meets the protective requirements expected at international competitions, making it the ideal choice for advanced and adult competitors.

Thanks to its modern, lightweight design and the use of advanced materials, the plastron not only provides outstanding protection but also excellent freedom of movement. The breathable construction and moisture-wicking inner lining help maintain comfort even during long training sessions or all-day competitions.

The plastron is made from a high-density technical fabric with a tensile strength of 800N, which offers significantly higher protection against punctures than 350N-rated equipment. The smooth outer surface helps the tip of the blade to slide off the material more easily, reducing mechanical stress on it and extending the equipment’s service life.

The heavy-duty zip is available in both right- and left-handed versions, so every fencer can choose the version that suits them best. The collar’s special Velcro fastening sticks only to its matching counterpart, so it does not damage the headguard’s lamé or other equipment during washing and storage.

The plastron comes in a reusable, zip-fastened PVC storage bag, which offers a practical way of keeping your kit separate after training or a competition.
