Allstar/Uhlmann FIE Plastron 800N

A great plastron. If you're fencing World Cups, great, this is what you want. If you're not, a $16 budget plastron is likely to be just as good at a sixth the cost. Then again, how much is safety worth to you? When I was getting my FIE kit (christmas gift), I was originally planning to get FIE whites and keep my old budget plastron. My mother (and the source of the gifts) asked what the difference was. When I told her that FIE equipment was more puncture resistent she informed me that I WAS getting an FIE plastron along with the rest.



Considerably better than any cotton plastron, compared to the cheap nylon ones is a more interesting question. They feel the same, this is safer but consdierably more expensive.
