Description
This gorget is made by Vytis Historical Fencing. It is a wonderfully protective, slim, and form-fitting gorget that is comfortable to wear while providing essential protection for the throat and neck.
The main material is a solid plastic, with overlapping lames for the front of the throat. There is an outward-turned blade-catcher at the top, to help prevent thrusts sliding upward. The front of the gorget is quite sharply pointed, making it more likely that solid thrusts landing on the front of the throat will be redirected to the side, saving the throat from an application of high amounts of force.
There is a soft felt liner on the inside so that it is comfortable against your skin.
The gorget is one-size-fits-all and the shape of the gorget itself is what keeps it in place on your neck – there are no complicated fastenings, and it holds its place quite easily under a t-shirt or under a jacket.
