i need good knickers!

[Lindsey]

hey all-
i've come to the conclusion that i just can't wear the knickers ny school gives me any more. they're falling apart & they've got blood on the butt pocket thatr just isn't mine. any suggestions on good brands/models to buy? (oh i''d like to spend around $100-150 or less)
thanks.

Uhlmann 'World Cup' and Allstar 'Athens' FIE knickers are both about $130-- they're the lower priced Uhlmann/Allstar FIE line, with stretch panels sewn in to the jackets and knickers. The all-stretch Uhlmann 'Olympia' and Allstar 'Startex' FIE knickers run about $180. Uhlmann and Allstar uniforms are similar, with Allstar being cut a bit more trim than Uhlmann.

Zivkovic sells PBT all-stretch FIE knickers (which appear to be similar to the Soudet all-stretch FIE uniform I have and like) for $150.

For non-FIE knickers, Santelli stretch nylon knickers are as good as any you'll find and cost about $70. At the lower end, Blue Gauntlet and Triplette both sell perfectly servicable stretch knickers for $40-50.

Right now The Fencing Post (www.the fencingpost.com) has the Ulhmann "World Cup" model on sale for $99. They're really good knickers

Yo, TC, is that you? I don't know anyone else with blood on their knickers!

Don't listen to any of these fools, the only acceptable Knickers that will last you forever, are the allstar startex deals, they're a little expensive but they don;t wear out, either them, or the Soudet ballistic stretch ones, but I think you can only get them in europe
