Warnings

• Fencing, by virtue of being a combat sport in which body contact by the weapon occurs, is by its nature dangerous. Protective clothing and equipment for fencers is intended as far as possible to prevent injuries, or in the worst cases to reduce the severity of injuries, particularly by the point of the weapon. Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of the breakage of blades may result in high tip velocities and consequent high energy impacts by the broken blade. Broken blades have been known to penetrate protective equipment with fatal consequences. Fencing protective gear cannot guarantee complete protection against injuries, especially from broken blades. The protective function of the fencing glove is limited to reducing superficial injuries such as abrasions and bruises.
• Protective clothing must not be changed or manipulated. In particular, seams must not be opened or further parts be added or taken away. Caring instructions must be respected. Non-respect of these instructions can reduce the level of protection of this garment.
• Carefully inspect protective clothing for fencing at regular intervals to make sure that no mechanical defects (like abrasion, holes, broken seams, tears, scratches) have occurred. If this has happened, the garment may no longer be used.
• Fencing gloves are designed to only be used by either left-handers or right-handers (see marking on the cover page).
