ArmStreet is one of the largest and most developed manufacturers of armor and costumes for different types of medieval and history-related activities, and a fledgling but dedicated player on the amazing playground of Historical Fencing.

Our products are designed by acting high-level fencers, often in collaboration with different groups and clubs, and, as always, ArmStreet strives to bring some extra value to the market: we design, test, and experiment in order to make our clients’ fencing life safe and inspiring, and do not hesitate to try new things.

 

HEMA is a modern hobby, sport, and martial art dedicated to research and practical implementation of documented sword-fighting techniques. Different groups and clubs have different approaches, from communities solely dedicated to source-based recreation of fencing to a highly competitive HEMA tournament scene. The officially ranked HEMA weapons are longsword, saber, rapier and rapier & dagger, sidesword, and sword and buckler, while the variety of weapons also includes different types of smallswords, daggers, spears, and practically any weapon typical for the period between the XVI and XIX centuries. 

Protective gear usually includes fencing masks with overlays, penetration-resistant padded jackets, and sometimes knickers, plus neck, arms, hand, shin, groin, and joint protection, and is defined by the level of intensity, weapon, and club or event rules.

 

Our padded fencing jackets and pants are designed in-house, we also share some research and development with our Ukrainian partners from Bureviy. We expand our line of HEMA jackets more and more, and now have several designs dedicated to different weapons and featuring different levels of protection.

Our “Futura” pants are one of the most flexible and at the same time protective designs, and we are working on lighter options

 

Plastic protection: neck, knees and elbows, arm guards and shins

ArmStreet developed and implemented a unique technology that allows us to both control the shock-absorption qualities of our plastic gear and make complex and textured shapes. We combine two-component plastics, EVA and Kydex, to achieve the most balanced results for our gear and to treat our fencers. Also, in collaboration with HF armory we deliver the world's best plastic clamshells and finger-gloves, Black Knight and Black Prince.

 

ArmStreet imports and distributes FIE fencing masks and makes overlays to adjust them for HEMA goals. The more advanced head protection is a work in progress.

 

Our unique line of HEMA swords started with the sabre, featuring a construction that lets fencers modify and reassemble their weapon with different guards, pommels, and handles, changing the balance and the weight of the weapon. The next step is the smallsword and the longsword.

 

We offer a perfect selection of gear bags, incluing popular designs of backpack plus gear-bag combos and a lot of pockets and pouches to personalize your gear-carying setup, and we never stop working on more options for you.

 

When the selection of indoor footwear for HEMA is practically endless, from Olympic fencing shoes to court sneakers to grappling shoes, we focused on improving the experience of people who fence outdoors or participate in events where they combine sword-fighting with running, trekking, and so on. Our “Dragon” series is unique in terms of providing a balanced solution that makes lunging easy, provides amazing grip and ankle stability and also looks cool
