Boffer sports

Boffer sports are full-contact fights played with padded foam weapons, and this small collection has the swords, spear and shield to get you started. A boffer weapon is a light core wrapped in layers of foam, so a fast strike lands as a soft push. That one idea makes the whole sport work. You swing at full speed, read your opponent and learn real timing while everyone stays comfortable. It suits LARP combat, club nights, summer camps and anyone curious about foam weapon training. Teenagers and beginners take to it within an evening, and younger fighters can start with dedicated boffer equipment for kids.

How to Choose Boffer Sports Gear

Boffer sports use padded foam weapons, so start by picking what you swing. Boffer swords are the fastest way in. The Boffer sword 32" has a fiberglass core under a soft foam blade, a nylon cover, a paracord-wrapped handle and a protected pommel. Its reinforced tip is stab legal, the blade runs 7.5 cm wide, and it weighs 0.410 kg. That keeps it quick and controllable. For reach, the Short Spear (Javelin) measures 150 cm overall and weighs 0.6 kg. Three foams and a reinforced tip keep the soft stabbing head friendly at speed. Thrust with it or throw it in LARP combat. Newer fighters usually start with the Foam sword 80 cm. It is light, runs 80 cm end to end, with an ergonomic handle and a reinforced tip. Pair it with the Foam round shield 60 cm, which has three handles to sit firm on your arm. You can also explore our full range of boffer shields when you want a different size or fighting style. The Foam fight set gives you both together. Add our helmets and hand protection once you fight weekly, plus quilted equipment for extra padding.

Key Benefits

• Full-speed sparring stays kind. Layered foam over a light core softens each hit, so you commit with confidence.
• Light in the hand. The Boffer sword 32" weighs 0.410 kg and the spear 0.6 kg, so long sessions stay pleasant.
• Reinforced, stab-legal tips on our boffer weapons hold up through repeated thrusts.
• Eleven standard colors, so a club can order matching kit or split into team colors.
• The shield's fabric pouch takes paint or print, so your own sigil goes on the front.
