    Who is "Linea"?

    I've been seeing a lot of equipment under the name Linea lately; I'm not familiar with them, can someone supply some details?

    That's a Fencing Post line, I believe...
    Need fencing equipment? See me at H.O.M. Fencing Supply

    Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"

    I've seen other vendors carrying it. Looks like a budget line of basic gear. The bags seem to get the most attention.

    My club just bought a few electric foils stamped with their logo; it made me curious who actually made the blades.

    I have one of their roll bags and love it (knockoff of Uhlmann's bags at about 1/3 - 1/2 the price). Their other equipment seems to be of about the same quality as Absolute's Nylon kit and Fencing Post's Postsport line.

    edit: here's the review of the bag that I put in product reviews a few months back..

    Just because it's funny:

    I also have a Linea bag and really like it. I am on my second bag from them, the first having some kind of weird failure after about a season of intense use. The second one seems to be holding up fine, and I'm pretty sure it was a limited manufacturing error. Thankfully I had the bag replaced when it broke for no charge. I'd still reccomend checking the bottom wheel bar before purchasing to see if there are any manufacturing flaws in the bottom.

    Apart from that the bag has worked wonderfully, and is rather inexpensive.
