    anways here are my choices...

    AF's F/Z Nylon Jacket ($68):
    Absolute Nylon Jacket

    AF's Men's Stretchy Front Zipper Jacket w/Blue Trim, because its 100% 'stretchy fabric' ...and i like the blue trim

    It's not about competing or not...it;s about safety.

    Agreed. I have the BG/AF jackets and I don't like them too much. OTOH the postsports jackets I've seen looks better.
    A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the word you first thought of.

    I'm starting to work on my own, as well....hopefully I'll have a few samples out in a month or 2 (pending shipping time for those samples, of course!)

    The first version of my knickers is actually owned by my sabre student who fenced at the Okawa last year.

    You might want to check ebay first. They have good deals on RH jackets.

    The only one I've seen out of these is the Absolute stretchy one. My friend has it and he seems to like it just fine. (It is soft and huggable. )

    You might want to seriously consider investing in a jacket that will offer some more protection, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to. These puppies can be EXPENSIVE!

    If I was religious I'd say Amen.
    Fencing is my only PvP.
