Commercial boffer manufacturers provide professional-quality LARP safe weapons at a variety of prices. However, not every manufacturer maintains the safety regulations which coincide with Xadune’s protocols.
Below is a list of manufacturers that typically pass at Xadune. Please note that ALL boffers, regardless of origin, will be safety checked. Just because the boffer comes from one of the below manufacturers does not guarantee it will pass; but in the past, these manufacturers have been vetted.
Recommended Vendors
Forged Foam – Ranging from full-contact weaponry to some particularly artful pieces, Forged Foam has safety in mind in their creation. Recently, the line of more realistic weaponry has brought a new, fresh look to their inventory.
Epic Armoury – In general, these weapons have been known to pass. However, they are not stab-safe.
Nemesis Ateliers – Can be hit or miss, but in general will pass.
Calimacil – Xadune has been a LARP Partner for Calimacil for over a decade. While the majority of their weapons will pass inspection, some of their newer products have been a bit unsafe. In general, if the product has been around for a while, it will be safe; newer products or models which are replicating a weapon from popular culture tend to fail.
Not Recommended Vendors
These vendors have had safety issues in the past, or otherwise have produced weapons which would not pass at Xadune. Not all weapons from these vendors are considered unsafe; but purchase at your own risk.
Mitryl – While pretty, these weapons typically do not pass our safety checks.
