LEONARK Hema Overlays Throat Protector Fencing Gorget with Rigid Protection Plate for HEMA Longsword Rapier Sabre Armoury

Why should you choose this particular overlay for HEMA? It's simple:

The LEONARK throat protector is a must have piece of safety kit for the modern hema fencer. The tip of a fencing sword can easily slide between the fencing mask bib and gambeson during a thrust, potentially leading to a quite serious injury. These throat protectors, when worn as a complete set with proper gambeson and mask will help to protect the front and sides of the neck in such a scenario. 

Originally known as a 'gorget', the fencing throat protector is dedicated to HEMA trainers, beginners, as well as people who want to improve the durability of their HEMA equipment, regardless of gender. This product is universal and fits people wearing small as well as larger sizes. It will work well as additional cushioning when practicing with any sword.
