Finally

[tinasam]

After about 9 months of waiting on getting a new house underweigh, a new job, and my health back.... I JUST PURCHASED MY FIRST BATCH OF FENCING GEAR!
Ok, I may be slightly happy here...

I got a Huge bag, a insulated Mask, the purple washable glove, two electric pistol-grip epees<pistol grips are more comfy for me>, two body cords, front close jacket, chest protector :-), underarm protector, knickers, shoes, socks.

I am thrilled. Its all lefthanded so no one will be borrowing it either, lol.

Just wanted to share, I can't believe its been so long....

You might want to get another epee or two, 2 is a bit sparse for a tourney if you're a lefty and there won't be other weapons to borrow if something breaks.

I will not be in a tourney until June so I thought these would be okay for practicing at the club. Was going to get some really nice ones for competition, probably about 2-3. Whats a good but moderately priced epee thats seems to be most durable?

Yep, it's great having your own gear - it fits properly, you don't have to go searching through the club equipment every time you go in, and you don't have other people sweating it up. Been building up my collection over the past year (too expensive to buy it all at once). Next on the list for me are some fencing pants since there's a tournament coming up next weekend (they don't allow track pants at this one).

Congrats and Enjoy !!
