Equipment Requirements

  • FIE equipment required- (800 NW clothes, 1600 NW masks, 800 NW plastron and FIE homologated blades).
  • Name and country printed on the back of the jacket/lame are not required.
  • The ‘GBR’ patch is not needed for cadets. These are required only for athletes selected for Cadet European or World Championships or FIE Junior or FIE Senior international events.

Ensure your kit is in complete working order, with all weapons and bodywires tested for continuity, resistance, and weight. It would be best to do this before leaving the UK, as there may not be an armoury service or an equipment stall at the event. Maintaining your equipment can mean the difference between hits registering or not. There will be weapon control. Different competitions check different items – so be prepared for everything to pass weapon control.

Please check to make sure you meet the FIE requirements. Further information can be found here.
