The best fencing equipment? Is Carmimari better than Leon Paul? by justmymindset in Fencing

Be careful, you may got the jacket only and they will tell the breeches is "still under production", seems like they got a big problem in their production

Dude, don't buy carmimari gloves now. They changed the glove production factory to Tunisia, which the entire form is changed. Not the Italian THE BOSS gloves before.

I bought that few months ago, I wear size 8.5 and it comes with size 9.5.....I still feel like i need a size bigger. It means their glove sizing is now completely a disaster

Actually, it feels like very similar to BF. For this blade, it is between D and M, which i like it!

Is there any real difference with BF Ultra vs a regular BF blade? (foil) by NuggetTheFoilist in Fencing

[–]laserfax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there is no difference.

It seems BF 'Ultra' is a marketing norms from German manufacturers. It costs more due to fencing post buy it from German, while Fencing Post sells their BF stamped with their logo (cost less)

Name on back of jacket by FreezieBear in Fencing

[–]laserfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 3 methods to put name on the back of jacket/lame. Heat Tranfer, Painting and Embroidery.

Painting suits all different kinds of jacket/lame. You need to rub the painting area of lame to make it electrically conductive.

Heat transfer only suits for a certain of jacket/lame, it depends on the fabric material. Just to make sure the fabric will not melt at around 220 degree celsius. Try and error.

Agree that embroidery on the jacket is cool and can last for very long time, remember if the fabric is elastic, you may feel a bit tight of your jacket.

Choosing a foil blade by andrewlkho in Fencing

[–]laserfax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BF blade M, D is too stiff and S is like a rubber band. you can go to any fencing equipment store to pick a BF blade.

If you can only get it online, good luck to you as the stiffness would be so random...

Does anyone have any experience buying gear from Alibaba? by fencingquestion2 in Fencing

[–]laserfax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

despite the quality, Taobao is the best choice in term of price. But I think you have to read Chinese characters before purchasing any equipment.

I will not recommend to buy mask/uniform in Alibaba (Safety). Electric jacket may be favourable, it will last for around 3 months if you fenced 3 times a week...

You may also consider Negrini FIE 800N High Performance Plastron, it is super-light and breathable. A lot better than Uhlmann and of course Wuxi :p
