This protective equipment is consumables. Impacts (feet, fists, projections, artificial weapons, etc.) against protective equipment are frequent and recurring elements in the practice of martial arts and cosmetic and physical degradation of this equipment is inevitable. The majority of protective equipment is designed to reduce the effects of an impact on the human body by undergoing deformation or breakage in its place (mask or helmet deformed by an abnormally powerful impact, for example). This potentially permanent deformation of the equipment is normal and part of its design.
