    New Jacket for xmas

    Alright, I need a new jacket. I'm currently using an old PBT ultralight which no longer fits adequately which I've never really liked. Allstar startex uniforms seem really nice, and I hear the uhlmann olympia jacket is basically the same thing with a more generous cut, which is probably what I would go after. I've heard nothing but good things about the LP high end line (is it the sydney or the atlanta? I always confuse them) but the price is a bit high.

    But who knows anything about fence with fun?

    I hear they are the same thing as uhlmann, but is that the olympia line or the world cup?

    I'm looking for something FIE, something full stretch. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    If your looking for value for money LP wise, I find you really don't need the Sydney range...the Atlanta range IMO is still better than pretty much everything else on the market, and all its lacking is the anti-wicking layer.

    While I haven't tried the FWF jacket on I think they look really nice and well made. According to their website (https://www.fencewithfun.com) all their kit -- 800N as well as the 350N -- is stretch.

    ...so that would be closer to the Startex/Olympia lines then.
    Fencing is my only PvP.

    I like the material Absolute's FIE jacket is made from.
