Fencing Coach Jacket

This product is worth the money. It's well designed and made with light and nice material.

This fencing Jacket is was very small in the arms for me which is the only reason I took off a star. I couldn’t pull it on. :( I had bumped up a size because I knew it was made in China and their sizes aways run much smaller than U.S sizes but there was no further size to go to after a 2x so I took that chance ...and lost.When I asked to return it, I was told by the manufacturer that it was a long and expensive delivery back to China so they’d offer me 30% back. I explained it was unacceptable to pay back only a portion to me, and if they couldn’t pay it back to me, they should consult with Amazon. Well, they did, and I soon received a full refund!At first I wrote a bad review (for the 30%-back first offer,) but they recently contacted me again and re-explained their thinking and were VERY kind about it.They also said they would make future changes on their jackets to fit larger women’s arms better. I am thrilled with that particularly, because it’s very hard to find fencing gear for larger/full figured women. If they could make a “3x” or even a4x” (which would be a 2x and 3x in America) with an inch or two more in the torso and much wider arms, many full figured women would be ABLE to keep fencing! And get in shape.This company definitely went the extra mile, even after my refund, so it shows me that they really care about customers.The workmanship is excellent and if the sleeves had fit I’d have been totally satisfied with the jacket in the first place.If you work with them I think you will be satisfied too. I previously bought a fencing keychain from them with all 3 swords and a mask, that I absolutely love. It’s solid and VERY well made. Everyone who sees it loves it too, and would make a great gift.I have also purchased a fencing mask which is also well made. I will definitely work with Leonark again.

Order 2 sizes larger than normal. I'm 5'8" and an xl is a little short for me. It'll work though. It is well padded, even for epee. It's hot, but what coaching jacket isn't?

This arrived in my mailbox today, and I hate everything about it. I can’t put it on by myself because it’s a back zip. The whole thing is as stiff as a board. I feel like a poofed marshmallow in it. I can hardly move in it too. Asking for a refund.

It is not breathable.

Ok I see some complaints on this but for the price you are paying to be able to get out and have some protection, this is the cheapest way to do it. If you want some major protection go with red dragon but in comparison red dragon is way more stiff than this product. Arms are a little short but your gloves should cover the distance.
