350N jackets for training and fencing activities, available in different models and sizes. Always check your club’s requirements before purchasing.
Useful information to help you choose products and equipment with greater confidence.
Measure the body over light clothing, keeping the tape close but not tight. The usual measurements are height, chest, waist and hips; some breeches may also require leg length.
Do not use a generic conversion. Open the product page and select “Size Guide”. The chart and measuring method are specific to the brand, model and men’s, women’s or children’s fit.
A complete fencing uniform normally includes jacket, breeches, protective plastron, socks and glove. A mask, shoes and, depending on the weapon, a lamé or other specific components are also required.
The exact equipment depends on the athlete’s age, level of activity and the requirements applied by the club and competitions.
The fencing plastron, worn underneath the jacket, adds a protective layer over the most exposed areas of the torso and weapon arm.
It should be the correct size, should not create bulky folds and must cover the area intended by the model and applicable rules.
The difference is the puncture resistance level of the fabric, under CE EN 13567:
39SPORT offers both levels: 350N for base-level practice, 800N for competition. The Newton value refers to jacket and trousers, not the mask. Clothing is available under the FWF brand and 39SPORT's own Alfafencing line. Sizes follow chest circumference: men from 44 (88 cm) to 58 (116 cm); women 38-42; children by height 140-170 cm. The jacket must be chosen right- or left-handed according to the weapon hand.
No. Fit, measurement ranges and conversions vary between manufacturers and sometimes between models from the same brand.
Example: an FWF size 48 is not automatically equivalent to an AF size 48. The two charts may associate the same labelled size with different body measurements and proportions.
For each item, use the “Size Guide” button on the product page and follow the measuring method specified for that model.
When a measurement falls between two sizes, automatically choosing the larger size is not always correct. Consider the model’s fit, the type of item and the key measurement: chest for jackets, waist and hips for breeches, hand for gloves, face or head for masks and foot length for shoes.
Example: in the AF glove chart, an 18 cm hand falls between size 7, listed for 17.5 cm, and size 7.5, listed for 19 cm. The choice also depends on the required fit and the shape of the hand.
First consult the “Size Guide” on the product page. If uncertainty remains, send 39SPORT all measurements and the product code before placing the order.
Minimum spend €40. Can be combined with other discounts.
