The Red Dragon Armoury HEMA Red Dragon Armoury articulated knee and shin guards protect the front and side of the shin and knee from impact during sparring without greatly impeding the natural movement of the legs. Held in place with adjustable elastic bands, this shin guard fluidly moves with the knee and leg. For HEMA, this product has been classified as either appropriate for all skill levels or appropriate for those with Advanced Skills. Michael Turner, instructor at Tuathair Academy of Swordsmanship, assisted us in categorizing these items for the different skill levels of HEMA participants. These categorizations are meant as guidelines. Please refer to tournament rules for specific competition requirements. For this purpose, we do not include swords that may be used in cutting competitions in the HEMA category. A hard plastic shell is lined with a padded, removable liner. This liner is held in place with buttons. The rivets that articulate the guard are screwed in, and can be replaced if necessary. Comes with some spare rivets.
