FencingStar Knickers?

[deadnotsleeping]

I have been looking into getting new knickers. FencingStar has always offered nice equipment for me before.

These knickers: [click here].

Has anyone had any experiance with these? Good or Bad?

Okay I guess no one has then.

What about recommendations for other knickers? They have to be on the less expensive side, who doesn't love a bargain?

I'd never even heard of FencingStar before this thread…

I have gotten both my jacket and my mask from them. I was pleased with both. But its the material that I was wondering about. Stretch pants? Are they good?

I can't speak for the quality theirs, but in general, I think most fencers prefer stretch uniforms. The protection is the same, and the stretchiness of the material makes them less constricting and more comfortable.

If they sold you a helmet, buddy let me tell you that you have been had. Fencing uses masks. Construction workers, combat troops and bikers wear helmets. Other than that small detail, the "fencing star" brand looks like a private label/resale of the Epee Co brand that a few other people sell. They are not bad. A little warm, decent stretch and protection. Single lined but fairly thick. The do tend to pill a fair amount. Not a bad choice for the price.

true about the mask thing, probably should refer to it as a mask :P.

I think I might just go for it and if I don't like them just return.
