Allstar Startex Fencing Jacket

Yes, the Startex jacket is FIE-approved and meets the 800N safety standard required for international and high-level competitive fencing.

The single-layer construction significantly reduces bulk and weight. Because the material is designed with full-stretch capabilities, it allows for a greater range of motion, which helps young fencers move more freely on the strip without feeling restricted.

While it is engineered for competitive standards, it is an excellent choice for any young fencer. The lightweight, comfortable fit makes it a great option for training sessions, while the high safety rating ensures they are fully protected as they progress in the sport.

Maintenance is straightforward because the jacket is fully machine washable. We recommend following standard care instructions for fencing gear—typically a gentle cycle with mild detergent—to preserve the integrity of the stretch fabric.

Since this jacket is specifically tailored for younger fencers, it is best to consult the Allstar size chart using the child's current chest, waist, and height measurements. Because the fabric has stretch, you want a snug, athletic fit rather than a loose one, but ensure there is enough room for comfortable movement.
