Answer 2

For a basic kit to start fencing sabre, you need a mask, jacket, gauntlet, and a practice sabre. If you're a woman, you need a chest protector. An underarm protector or "plastron" is highly recommended, and required at all USFA sanctioned competitions. Prices for the basic equipment start at about $150 and go up from there. Expect to pay as much as ten times as much for FIE rated equipment, suitable for international competition.

Many clubs will provide some or all equipment or sell new or used equipment for a reasonable amount. You might also qualify for club discounts at fencing equipment retailers. Check with your coach.

You'll need either fencing knickers ($40-$50) and knee socks or long athletic pants. Court shoes, especially indoor soccer shoes, work well.

When you graduate from practice fencing to bouting with electronic scoring equipment, you'll need additional equipment. An electric mask, mask cords (2), body cords (2), cuff, lame and electric weapons (2) will run between $250 and $300.
