PBT Fencing Red Foil or Sabre Lame - Electric Jacket

PBT, European made, fencing lames are world renown for their comfort, style and durability. They are designed and manufactured by fencers for fencers. This fabric has been worn by United States, European and World fencing Champions.

Things to consider when purchasing a foil or sabre lame:

We carry two grades of red foil and sabre lames:

INOX Lame: This is the highest grade of lame that we carry. The lame is sewn with INOX stainless steel fibers. The INOX fibers resist oxidation the longest of any fibers on the market. This style also has the highest thread count of metallic fibers of any of our lames allowing it to hold up against repeated hits in the same spot the longest. This foil or sabre lame can be hand washed / soaked in cold water and woolite. The ammonia in the woolite helps to remove the salt and chemical residue left on the fibers by your perspiration. This will help to restore the conductivity of your lame. It is normal to wash this style of lame once every 6 months or before a large fencing tournament where it will be tested by an armorer.
Normal Lame: This foil or sabre lame uses copper fibers. As a result it will oxidize much more quickly than the INOX lame. The oxidized areas will show up as green spots on the lame material. It cannot be washed or cleaned. This style of lame is meant for someone who fences electric foil or sabre infrequently or a child that may outgrow the lame before the foil lame looses its' conductivity.

If you are in a humid environment or sweat a lot you will want one of the INOX lames.
Each person's PH balance is different. A teammate could wear the PBT normal foil or sabre lame, designed for beginners, for several years without any problem in conductivity and if your PH is different it might last you only 3 months. People who have identified that their PH balance causes quick oxidation should always choose an INOX lame.
All of our foil and sabre lames ship with a replacement patch, the patch will be made from the same material as the lame.
The groin strap has a quick release snapping buckle rather than a d-ring
