Popular with top-level fencers, the Shermasport ultra-Light guard offers great depth, providing excellent coverage for those with large hands or who hold the grip by its end. Furthermore, it is the lightest and largest guard sold by Imex, as it is right at the limit of what is accepted by the FIE.
Note that if the guard is deformed, it may fail the FIE equipment inspection, as it is already close to the permitted dimensions.

Please note: actual guard weight and dimensions may vary.
Guards are made from different materials. Some are more durable, while others are lighter.
Choosing a more durable material means your guard will last longer. On the other hand, opting for a lighter guard can help reduce hand fatigue.
It is also important to note that for foil and epee, you should consider the weight of your blade when selecting a guard. You don’t want your blade to be significantly heavier than your guard and grip, as this will make your weapon unbalanced, leading to increased hand fatigue and potential injury.
