cost of epee and armour

[legolas30]

about how much does epee cost? this includes the weapon and armour needed to learn it.

Where you buy your gear determines how much you are going to spend;some companies are simply more expensive than other.But I bought all my stuff plus two epees at Blue Gauntlet for like around 500 dollars. For more vendors, go to the usfa website, and shop around.

You can find a list of equipment vendors at: http://www.fencing101.com/search/Equipment/

Check their sites and see what the basic equipment will cost at a few of them.

Cheers,

And don't buy from ANYONE that insists you need any armor to fence epee (except chest protectors and protective cups).

Mmm..technically the mask might qualify as a sort of armour...and of course if you're getting FIE Kevlar jacket and knickers that's a sort of body armour...
