Title: HEMA armor Post by: Verthalris on February 14, 2020, 02:39:13 AM Does anyone know if HEMA armor vests are useable instead of the lacrosse chest plates for lightsaber dueling ? I am new to heavy dueling and don't want to but a bunch of different armors if one will do.

The jacket you posted will mostly work. I'd say thrust will be out unless you plate the soft spots. More protection on the forearms and collarbone as well...at least if you were sparring in our group.
