What new products would you like Leon Paul to have at the Nats

[whtouche]

Bayonet bodycords. LP bodycords are my favorite and I need new ones.
Bayonet sabre sockets as well.

It would also be nice if at least samples of each FIE uniform line were available to inspect.

Ooh, and bring extra bibs for the x-change sabre mask. I might be in the market for a new one depending on how current holds up..

[KD5MDK]

I think that every one who owns an X-Change sabre mask should buy a spare bib to carry around (in an airtight plastic bag) so that when their current bib finally fails as it eventually will, they don't have to hope a vendor has one in stock or buy a new mask.

[Barry Paul]

We are proposing to have a full range of

O06 clothing with our lattesr wicking and anti microbial lining in all sizes.
Samples of our new Club range of clothing.
Complete range of masks. Including samples of the new range of x-change masks for foil and epee.
Blades
Components
Light weight plastrons
Light weight Lame foil and sabre
Point parts
samples of the F.I.E. range of clothing
Gloves plus new range for women
New handles
New. High end(more expensive) low range model of Hi-Tec Shoe, with many improvements as previuosly suggested
Two new models of inside foil guard socket The first major update in 20 years. Both with a redesign and patented life long locking system (no more lugs to wear out.) Standard model and a light weight one with a locked in main body. (so it will be imposible for the plastic parts of the socket to be dislocated)
IF anyone thinks they want to buy try on any kit (especiall F.I.E.) email sales@leonpaul.com with a wish list giving details of what you want to try on size, sex and handeness with the date you will be at the competition and we will either put aside that item or bring it specially (with no committment to purchase).

Plus a range of non alcoholic U.K. health tonics!!!!!!!!!!!!! Barry Paul

Tell me more, tell me more! What changes have you made?

[little_old_me]

Why couldn't I have been patient and waited an extra month or two? I just bought a pair of Hi-Teks at USACFCs. Oh well

[Barry Paul]

They will cost about 20% more! More info in our pre event mailing at the weekend. If you are not on the Leon Paul mailing list go to our site and follow the linls to join our mailing list.

While this might be an improvement from your point of view I'm not sure it's what qatet was hoping for... :)

Can you tell us more; I can't find anything on your website.

[Barry Paul]

You would not expect a Rolls Royce for the price of a Ford?

I forgot to include in the kit coming
The new Tyshler training devises.
Also the new light weight (of course) training individual hit indicators with micro processor drives, so the hit times are exactly to the regulations and can be updated if the F.I.E. changes them. Note. Because the device is driven by a microprocessor as soon as the sounds and light indication has finished the device will record another immediate hit.
New light weight rubber conductive piste.
And maybe a new wireless system???
HDG. That because we are launching them at the Nats

Come and try some on if they just need shortening we can do this at no extra charge or not much

YES
Bring some Bayonet connectors in Black with the hologram on it. I need about 10 of them.
YES
Make sure you get a booth close to Scott's (Sword Masters).
NOT It MY Hands

Now here is one for you!

Since you are coming from such a great distance, is there anything I can bring to help save on weight from the UK for you? Test box, tools or so on?
NO THANKS But THANKS FOR THE OFFER

See You at our stand

1. A three prong cord with a lame clip factory installed on the B line on one end. I love my unicords, but the part that I add tends to be the weakest link. A factory designed one would be spiffy. I know that BG is making a version, but BG cords are crap and it does not use a standard 3 prong socket, but some special smaller design which sort of defeats the purpose.

2. A spiffy Vniti style (as far as shape/geometry) titanium style bell with the black coating, just cause it would be cool.

3. Epee sockets with pilot holes pre-drilled similiar to the German pattern to keep your wires out of the way.

4. A more contored/comfortable carbon fiber hande that is less tennis racket and more French grip. And if it was not the price of several pistol grips, that would be good too...

5. Prettier GPro and Flickmaster blades. I like them, I think they are awesome, but looks matter when they are the most expensive blades on the market. It is hard to sell customers/students on a $100 dollar blade that has surface imperfections, not true to round (or square, as the case in the Forte sometimes is) or that does not have a straight cut wire groove). They are good blades, they just look worse than $10 crap blades so it makes them a hard sell for some folks.

6. Gloves (ideally using something like the Turtle Skin outers for uber durability) that close with the velcro going down so they are less likely to catch a point on wrist shots that would otherwise just slap/drag/miss.

7. Last but not least, and this one will have the fey folk under the LP fairy mound working overtime, an epee blade with the flex/feel of the BF FIE's (maybe by adding more steel to stiffen the mid section to forte area?) and to make the point a bit more predictable after actions. I would gladly pay big chunks of change for a blade that had the BF feel but the LP durability.

8. More of that spiffy pattened LP non-alchoholic single malt! MMMmmmm, thats smooth!

1. Don't Understand.
2. Not impossible but too late for the Nats
3. I don't think this is necessary, worth while, they are impossible to mount quickly, and cause as many problems as they solve. So not very likely!
4. Will have samples on the stand but will be enen more expensive.(May be you can trial one for us. (so very cheap!)
5. Peter Thorning our Blade manager will be coming so talk to him about thes points.
6. Don't understand talk to us at the Nats.
7.See Peter (point 5) but in principle we are trying to modify some of the aspect of the stiffness and the form.
8. Will be so.

Thanks. I have some narrow footed women that are wearing them right now and its requred some interesting modifications to get proper fit.

[Barry Paul]

You might try the new heat mouldable insole that we havestarted to stock. They might well help the fit with the small sizes feet.

[oiuyt]

I already own a copy, so won't be looking to buy, but bringing a couple of Kingston's Epee Combat Manual might be a good idea. You tend not to see it over here very often.

Barry, one I hope is a typo. I believe they are talking about a universal body cord for all three weapons. The typo is attaching the lame' clip to the A line.

8) Non-alchoholic what's the point?

I believe that this is a polite fiction to keep the powers-that-be from raising objections to us exercising every fencer and armorers God given right... I think of it as carb-loading.
