latex weapon

celegar

Newbie
while im not "technicly" new to the larp scene (ten years in running! oh yeah), i was wondering about which brands of latex weaponry are approved for use in alliance chapters.

while i realize that each weapon is unique, im really looking for an idea of ones that are generally considered good or are frowned uppon(personally, calamacil falls into this category, looks pretty, hurts after a while.)

suggestions?
 
Here's what the Seattle chapter has posted:

When purchasing a latex weapon, please try to be aware of the manufacturer as per the lists below. In addition, you may want to double check the length on weapons by directly emailing the reseller - several times, we've seen two different resellers of the same weapon list it at two different lengths. There are several places that will custom make latex weapons (including Mark, an Alliance player from the SF area); you might try either his site at larping.net or look at Action Props via latex-weaponry.com if you are looking for such.

We recommend the following manufacturers for latex weapons:

Palnatoke
Iron Fortress
Forgotten Dreams
Action Props
Iron Liege (for their Hybrid weapons, which may or may not be thrust legal depending on the precise weapon dimensions)

We specifically recommend *against* the following manufacturer due to quality control issues:

Eagleflex

In addition, we urge caution when purchasing Calmacil weapons. These weapons are beautifully made but are significantly stiffer and heavier than most other lines of latex weaponry, and will require extra caution when using them in combat.

We also note that pick-like protrusions on blunt weapons are likely to not pass safety inspections, and for that reason would advise people to avoid this type of blunt weapon.
 
Darkshire Forge builds weapons to fit alliance specs. You can find them on facebook. They have some stock left from Convolution this weekend as well.
