Whats the opinion on the cartel FIE uniforms? They're a great price.

| Excellent material (very thin and light), great price, poor tailoring.
I'm a sabre fencer, so I don't really mind as it's stuffed under a lamé most of the time, but I don't think I'd recommend it to an epee fencer. |

Apparently there's a U.S. version of the same, but only the Canadian version of the site has the Cartel gear ... | |
