The FIE 800 N Super Light Fencing Jacket is an excellent choice for fencers who want top-notch protection combined with comfort and flexibility.
The combination of 70% polyethylene mesh (Dyneema® fibers) and 30% polyester provides a unique blend of durability, lightness, and flexibility. Dyneema® fibers are known for their incredibly high resistance to cuts and abrasions, which is crucial for fencing, while the polyester adds that much-needed stretch and resistance to punctures.
The jacket's focus on lightness and softness seems to be aimed at enhancing mobility, ensuring that you can move freely without sacrificing safety. It is 50% lighter than standard 800N jFIE jackets
