Neck and spine protection for buhurt fights

Neck and spine protection for modern medieval full contact combat. Covers the back of the neck, cervical area and upper spine—common targets for cuts and thrusts. Built as a lightweight piece with straightforward fastening, so you can put it on fast, tension it and keep it stable under a helmet and gorget setup. For long service life, keep straps and fasteners in working condition; the surface can be painted to match your kit.

Product description

This neck protection and spine protection is made for modern buhurt/full contact, where the back of the head–neck transition and upper spine take frequent impact. The goal is practical coverage of a high-risk zone without locking your breathing, helmet position, or shoulder work.

Fit and mobility: the shape is intended to sit stable during bends, turns, clinch pressure and short-range exchanges. The convenient fastening helps you set tension and keep the guard from shifting. Place and size it so it does not interfere with vision line, airflow, or arm lift.

Durability and service: straps/fasteners are designed for regular training and tournament loads. If a strap stretches or hardware takes a hit, the piece is generally easy to restore with targeted maintenance—retensioning and replacing wearable parts—without complex overhaul.

Tournament use: it covers a typical “risk area” commonly checked at full contact events (rules differ by organizer and format). Always match it with your helmet, gorget and shoulder components and verify compliance under the specific event regulations.

Historical note: this is a modern protective element and has no direct historical analogue; it is engineered around real impacts and contemporary checks, while still usable within a historically styled armor kit.

Optional: the surface can be painted to better blend with the rest of your equipment.
