Protects the surfaces of the jackets from unnecessary mechanical influences from the outside. Don't just throw the jackets and pants on the floor or push them with your feet. Always hang your jackets neatly on a hanger or hook or over the back of a chair. Store them dry in a closet or bag. Make sure you store, store and transport them separately from your blades or other hard and potentially jagged equipment.

Always close the Velcro fasteners so that they do not unnecessarily damage the surfaces. We recommend transporting the clothing in a separate laundry bag so that it is protected from Velcro fasteners on other equipment.

It is also important that your blades and handles are always free of nicks and sharp edges and corners. Blades in particular can cause serious damage to fencing equipment if they cause nicks. Especially if they are used carelessly in combat or training, we cause unnecessary damage to the clothing of our fellow fighters. If everyone sticks to caring for their fencing equipment, then we will all protect each other. We not only bear responsibility for ourselves, but also for our fellow fencers!
