Olympia Cotton Front-Zip Jacket: Safety and value for every fencer! Safety and value for every fencer! A front-zip jacket is a huge step up from a back-zip beginner’s jacket, and this one is beautifully crafted in the U.S. to offer an unbeatable combination of safety, value, looks, and durability. It’s legal for all domestic competitions. Machine washable on a gentle cycle; line drying is recommended.

This is the first competition jacket, fully equipped for convenience, comfort and independence. Strong with double-ply front and front sleeve, it has a front zip to make it easy for the fencer to put on and take off. At the top of the zipper, the neck is secured by a Velcro closure that adjusts for perfect comfort and fit. The cotton fabric 'breathes', allowing body heat to pass through, making hot competition cooler. Jacket line is neatened and made safe at the button by an adjustable groin strap; and a strongly anchored D-ring presents itself proudly for the first hook-ups to electrical fencing.
