Pants
Information for Practitioners:
Fencing pants are made of Newton-rated material that provide pierce-resistance in the event of a sword break or other catastrophic failure. Fencing pants are recommended, but not necessarily required for fencing activities. Fencing pants are also often padded, or have pockets so that the padding can be accessed or modified. Fencing pants typically have arming points for the knee protection, but this can vary by style. Fencing pants should be fitted at the natural waist, but this may not be reasonable for all body types. Please ask an instructor for help when determining what pants or leg protection may work for you.
