New!!!! Vniti One Piece Foil Guards are X-light and X-strong. Good for the fencer (and bad for us) this guard will last a long time, and you do not even have to sacrifice weight. There are no rivets as it is one piece. Our product tests included 3 months of practice two times a week (minor wear); 9 months of practice + competitions (some wear but still useable) Elephant stepping on the guard (flattened it, what did you expect?) One of the best "value for your money guards on the market.
