How many do not use safety gear?

[Master Rel]

Just wearing what you have on and saber away!

And how many use some measure of protective gear when dueling?

Thin gloves?
Padded sports gloves?
Safety glasses/goggles?
More?

[Kham-Ryn Kurios]

I used to not wear anything but after a close call last year I refuse to duel without at least Eye Pro.

So now we always wear Eye Protection, actually everyone that wants to duel with the sabers here has to wear it; I love my friends but I will not be held accountable for their Idiocy.

M.J. and I usually also wear Dirtbike gloves, thin but there's hard rubber and padding in the right spots; mainly the knuckles which is really important to me, I hate getting hit in the friggin thumb.

As someone who focuses more on Choereo than sparring, protective gear isn't as major a focus. However, most of my costume is made to give enough protection. I wear cargo pants made for paratroopers as to take a beating, boots made of thick leather with reinforced toes, I wear a motorcycle vest with insertable plates and padding and goggles for my eyes. It gives the appearance of a character in the sci fi setting while also making sure I'm protected as can be

I typically fit under the 'reckless is he' category. LOL I sometimes wear some thin fingerless gloves, and I prefer to duel at night when it can get a little cooler so I often have a jacket of some kind, but otherwise.... nada.

[Veldryne]

Usually only my shooting gloves. Very very thin leather gloves with carbon fiber knuckles. And then whatever clothes i can move comfortably in.

I am looking at these gloves, @$15 they seem a sweet deal

[Darth Nekesus]

Enough protection, that would be.

[Veldryne]

Jedi Relmeob the top ones will work fine, my main sparring partner uses the full finger version of those.

[Master Rel]

Hmmmmm no fog safety goggles

Really depends on who I'm sparring with, but normally I've at least got some form of eye protection.

[Veldryne]

those goggles are really nice as well, ive got a pair, they eventually do end up with the lenses popping out unfortunately but thats usually from sitting on the bloody things or having them at the bottom of my kit bag

[Master Rel]

Good call and reference 

[Veldryne]

if you move around a lot and do more acro stuff, the built in knee pads are great

you can get em in tan, khaki, navy, black, multicam, and a-tacs pretty comfy as well, very light, very durable

I personally don't yet. I should, but I don't. Included in my sith cosplay is going to be a full face paintball/airsoft mask, so I guess that'l be my eye protection.  I've already ordered a pair of light grappling gloves that have padding along the top of the fingers, but they haven't come yet.  Hand shots are so unpleasant.

I don't wear any protection, though I've thought about wearing it. To broke to look around.
