LEONARK Padded Fencing Sport Coach Vest Canvas Long Sleeve or Sleeveless Jacket Armoury Hema Fencing Training Protective Suit

Excelente

very stiff padding. decent protective layer.

The fit is good but I wore it once and the zipper broke. It didn't last an hour. Also it does not breathe at all. Its very hot. I'm disappointed in this jacket. I order a medium and it was big on me. The zipper wasn't under strain.

This product is worth the money. It's well designed and made with light and nice material.

This fencing Jacket is was very small in the arms for me which is the only reason I took off a star. I couldn’t pull it on. :( I had bumped up a size because I knew it was made in China and their sizes aways run much smaller than U.S sizes but there was no further size to go to after a 2x so I took that chance ...and lost. When I asked to return it, I was told by the manufacturer that it was a long and expensive delivery back to China so they’d offer me 30% back. I explained it was unacceptable to pay back only a portion to me, and if they couldn’t pay it back to me, they should consult with Amazon. Well, they did, and I soon received a full refund! At first I wrote a bad review (for the 30%-back first offer,) but they recently contacted me again and re-explained their thinking and were VERY kind about it. They also said they would make future changes on their jackets to fit larger women’s arms better. I am thrilled with that particularly, because it’s very hard to find fencing gear for larger/full figured women. If they could make a “3x” or even a4x” (which would be a 2x and 3x in America) with an inch or two more in the torso and much wider arms, many full figured women would be ABLE to keep fencing! And get in shape. This company definitely went the extra mile, even after my refund, so it shows me that they really care about customers. The workmanship is excellent and if the sleeves had fit I’d have been totally satisfied with the jacket in the first place. If you work with them I think you will be satisfied too. I previously bought a fencing keychain from them with all 3 swords and a mask, that I absolutely love. It’s solid and VERY well made. Everyone who sees it loves it too, and would make a great gift. I have also purchased a fencing mask which is also well made. I will definitely work with Leonark again.

It is not breathable.

Order 2 sizes larger than normal. I'm 5'8" and an xl is a little short for me. It'll work though. It is well padded, even for epee. It's hot, but what coaching jacket isn't?

This arrived in my mailbox today, and I hate everything about it. I can’t put it on by myself because it’s a back zip. The whole thing is as stiff as a board. I feel like a poofed marshmallow in it. I can hardly move in it too. Asking for a refund.

Bought this as a coaching vest when I teach Spanish Destreza Fencing. The vest performs well to protect me from training rapier thrusts and cuts. I wear a plastic chest protector under it in case a broken tip happens. The vest is rated at 350 newtons in the description and I believe this to be accurate based on using it in practice sparring with my students. For HEMA tournaments I would suggest further gear such as hard protection for arm joins (elbows , forearms )ect. Good value for the money.

Excelente! Mejor de oí que esperaba
