Kit review: SPES Forearm and Elbow Protectors V.2

http://histfenc.com/productcart/forearm-and-elbow-protectors-v-2-0   "The forearm protectors help to lessen the threat of injury during frequent historical fencing training. Additionally this model has elbow protection. Made of sturdy fabric and super-hard profiled plastic inserts, gives you high level of protection during fight. The elbow protection, an extension of the forearm protector, is specially shaped to provide the most protection for the elbows possible without impeding movement."  Ordering review I ordered these from the HEMA Shop rather than directly from SPES. This had the main advantage that I could pay with credit card rather than bank transfer. The HEMA Shop has an automated messaging service that does a really good job communicating the status of your order. Postage was reasonably priced and arrived within a week from the UK. Pros These provide significantly better levels of protection than simple motocross/skateboarding arm protector
