| Just got my new FWF 800n jacket in the mail. I went with a 54 size, parts of my spec fit the 52, but the fit is perfect. Did a marathon fencing session in it the first night. The jacket is thick with the 2 layers, but the under layer that touches your skin and absorbs the sweat starts feeling nice and cool.
Ive notice much lower friction in taking hits, and some movements. i believe this is due to the cotton staying in one place and the outer jacket layer sliding around freely.
Shoulders are a little square, can look pointy compared to others. I cant compare this jacket to other FIE stuff, this one is my first. Ill probably complete the FWF set in time, but for now im enjoying the jacket.
