Kit guide

Kit & Equipment

Don't buy anything before your first session — your club lends you everything. When you're ready to get your own, here's what to buy, in what order.

Buy in this order

First

Glove & breeches

Your own glove is the first thing most fencers buy — it's personal kit. Breeches and long socks follow.

Next

Mask, jacket & plastron

Your own mask fits better and lasts years. A jacket and underplastron complete your protective kit.

Then

Weapon, lamé & bodywire

Your own weapon(s), bodywires and — for foil and sabre — a lamé for electric scoring. Ask your coach before buying; grip and blade choices matter.
