FIE Plastron

Summary: Alright..February 18th, 2005
Last year, I decided to replace my old, HOT, denim plastron with something lighter. PBT has their USA branch in Charlotte, where I live, so I decided to try working with a local vendor, instead of having to send things back-and-forth as with mail-order, if things don't fit exactly right.
The plastron is fairly light. The issues I have with it are two fold; 1) It seems a bit big. Going down a size makes it TOO small and uncomfortable, so I had to go with an extra large. 2) As another poster said, the neck strap is a bit uncomfortable. It usually doesn't bother me when fencing, but it does while I'm putting on my unifrom. PBT would be better off replacing the velcro strap with a second plastic buckle around the waist, or modifying the top strap to have a buckle that goes down instead of across, as with the velcro that the currently use.
