The Kit So Far
Just got my superior fencing landsknecht jacket 800n. Custom measurements, ordered on Nov 2nd, took a little over 2 months to arrive, but worth it. Have not taken it to practice yet, but out of the box it feels great. Definitely on the thicker side, but that's not bad as far as safety is concerned. Heat isn't terrible, but I'll have to see how it feels come spring / summer. Range of motion is pretty good. Works well with my existing armor for harnischfechten as well. As others have mentioned, communication with them is very hit and miss, but they followed through with a solid product for a lower price. Would recommend.

Additional kit specs:
Knee and elbow cops are Armstreet.

Sword is Techniques Feder Hand and a Half, Pear Pommel, Medium Flex.

The sword is definitely sturdy with some good presence in the bind. But slightly on the shorter side against other Feders.
