Safety is of prime importance with fencing kit. The Club provides high quality kit, which is certified, and It is checked and replaced regularly to maintain its safety. As you (or your child) fences more regularly and knows they will continue, you/they are still welcome to use club kit. We can change kit as required if bigger sizes are needed etc. We will check kit regulary for wear or damage.
The club would like to make it very clear that, although a challenge, it is committed to providing any necessary kit to fencers for however long they need it. This is especially useful for growing kids. Having said that we would encourage and help anyone to choose kit to gradually build up their own. Some items will last a long time and not be grown out of quickly.The club gets a good discount with Leon Paul who supply high quality kit. We wouldn’t advise alternatives to Leon Paul for weapons / bodywires. The club can maintain Leon Paul weapons with spares etc. The table below contains suggestions for kit to think about where we feel it is worth choosing Leon Paul. Prices include the club discount. Links are provided to the website to browse and select sizes etc. Alternative companies are included below that and can be very good value for clothing especially when growung. To order see Phil who will advise and do a club order using the discount.
