Array FWF FIE Uniform Can anyone tell me anything about it? I hear it's heavy, but I would like to know more if anyone has any info. Some people say I have ADD, well I say... oh look, a chicken!
A wise T-shirt once stated: Foil is art, Saber is Theater, Epee is REAL. -
The material is completely stretchable (about 10%; 10cm can be stretched to 11cm)
Especially the pants feel very light, but they are a bit transparent.
The jacket has cotton inset, therefore it may be a little bit heavier than an allstar jacket. -
The breeches are very light weight and stretchy. More so than Allstar Startex. While the adjustable elastic on the knee is a nice idea it servers no real purpose and tends to get twisted. T
The material shrinks a little when washed and they are quiet a slim fit to begin with. They tends to hold stains especially marks from foil tape. The braces have a quick release clip again a nice idea but the elastic has a tendency to slip out. The material is also an off white colour and after a period of time starts to take a very yellow tone.
My advice would be buy a size up if you don't mind the colour. The price is good, the finish is good, better than Allstar but the material isn't the best. Mine shrank too much and I've actually replaced with a pair or Startex. -

And, what do you mean by "Slim Fit"? Some people say I have ADD, well I say... oh look, a chicken!
