Not the best fit - needs more slack
Posted by Wilson Borkowski on 11th Jul 2025
I am a larger guy and got the XXL underarm protector. That actual item wears fine on me but the strap that runs behind the back and connects on the front is too small. Even adjusted to the full length it is still tighter than is comfortable. Seems like a big oversight from Linea to not just provide some additional length on the strap for XL and larger. Other than that the quality of material feels fine and I don't feel like my range of movement is at all constricted. Would recommend this for fencers who are on the thinner side.

Great value, very solid
Posted by Unknown on 16th Nov 2024
Great value for the low price, fits well with a stretchy and medium thickness, soft synthetic material. Not as light or cool as say an Allstar type 800N plastron, but easily a third of the price or less and actually offers a bit more padding. Excellent for practice and just fine for domestic US competition. The plastic strap latches are strong and have not ever failed me. The velcro however is cheap and failed after about a year of heavy use and machine washing, but I just re-sew new velcro to keep it operational in good shape every season or two. Overall, really good value and a have just bought my 7th all-time of these today.

Honest & Objective Review
Posted by Unknown on 9th Apr 2021
I was looking uniforms (jacket, knickers, plasteron) for my kids. I wanted to pay a little more for stretchable material since cotton can get a little uncomfortable and affect performance. But, I wanted to pay as little as possible since my kids are probably going to outgrow them within a year or two.
Comparing various websites, I narrowed down my choices to Absolute Fencing's Stretch Line vs Fencing Post's Linea Stretch.
COST. Fencing Post stuff is a little less but due to their $20 shipping and handling, the cost comes to about the same.
PERFORMANCE. I ended up purchasing Fencing Post's Linea line. The uniform I received was really great. I got rid of the Linea labels because I think they look kinda' ugly but besides that, they are made really well and look great.
I don't know whether Fencing Post's is truly better or not than Absolute's since I only purchased the Linea line. But, according to fencers on Reddit, they stated that Linea's line is lighter than Absolute's. This means that Absolute's stuff is heavier but probably provides more protection. Given that this is for middle-school kids so they can't really hurt each other, I decided that getting a lighter uniform is probably a better choice.
*If you want to pay up for the top-of-the-line stuff and want to know which brand to get, the following is what Reddit users stated. They stated that the top line for all of the brands are the same in quality - they provide more stretchable material while being lighter than cheaper uniform. They are insanely expensive.
The only major difference is the fit. So, the best thing to do is to go to a national tournament where every vendor sell their uniforms. Try each brand's line and see which fits best.
Hope this helps!

Great quality and sizing for my 13yr old so this should last/fit for a good while!

Fencing Post is really great with customer service! Very knowledgeable and helpful with things to consider (expertise, age, build, recreational or competitive status of Fencer Etc). Things I would have never even considered! My 13 yr old son is VERY happy with all his Fencing clothes and gear from Fencing Post! He says they are so comfortable, great fitting and give great protection that he never notices ANY discomfort or has any worry whatsoever! Highly recommend Fencing Post for all your Fencing needs! Lightening quick to ship too!

It protects well

The velcro and clip strap works to keep it in place. It protects very well for the fabric and price.

Yes!

Just fenced in my first competition with this under arm protector. It was fabulous. I couldn't even tell it was there. Definitely a must buy, and I got it on sale so, there's that!
