Felt Guard Pad for Foil / Sabre

General Description

The felt guard pad is an essential accessory for fencers of all levels. Designed to be placed inside the bell guard of foils and sabres, this pad serves the dual purpose of protecting the fencer's fingers against direct impacts from the opponent's blade and effectively absorbing sweat during intense bouts.

Additionally, in the case of the foil, it acts as an insulating barrier that protects the internal wiring and the socket, preventing short circuits against the metal of the bell guard.

Key Features

• High-Quality Material: Made of high-density felt, soft to the touch yet highly resistant to wear and constant friction.

• Cushioning and Comfort: Reduces the impact of blows to the knuckles and improves the grip on the handle.

• Variety of Colors: Available in a wide chromatic range to personalize your equipment or easily identify your weapons in the armory:

  • Yellow, Blue, Purple, Black, Red, Pink, and Green.

• Compatibility: Designed according to official standards, available in specific variants for Foil (with a slot for wire passage) and Sabre (design adapted to the sabre guard).

Technical Specifications

Armorer's note: It is recommended to check the condition of the felt periodically. A worn-out or excessively damp pad can accumulate salts from sweat that corrode the internal socket or damage the foil's wire. Replacing it is quick, inexpensive, and prevents electrical failures in competition.
