How long does a Sabre lame need to be? I just bought a sabre lame, and the fit around my chest and arms is great. The only problem is that my torso is a little long for my height, and I'm not sure if the lame comes down far enough. Is there some regulation about this? I've looked and I can't find anything...
Thanks!

m.34/1. The fencer must wear, over his jacket, a conductive jacket, the conductive surface of which must cover entirely and without omission the valid surface of the body above a horizontal line which, when the fencer is “on guard”, joins, around the fencer’s trunk, the upper points of the creases formed by the thighs. In wireless sabre the fencer must wear a conductive t-shirt. The conductive part is made with a conductive fabric with an electrical resistance which, measured between any two points of the conductive fabric, must be less than 5 ohms.
Emphasis mine.

Great, thanks for the info!
I'm having trouble visualizing that. Would that be touching a person's hip bone or past it?

Sounds like the one I got fits perfect in that case.
Thanks again for the help!
