What&#;s the thing that is always full, a bit mysterious and goes with a fencer everywhere? It&#;s the fencing bag! Choosing the right fencing bag can be a bit of a challenge, as there are tons of options out there &#; some of which you might be more familiar with than others. Fencers use their bags constastly, so getting the a bag that will work will make things a LOT easier.

You&#;ll be able to find the perfect bag for you with these quick and easy tips for choosing the right fencing bag, with pros and cons to help you sort through the options that are available.

1.   Hard-shell golf case

You might not have given much thought to using a golf case for a fencing bag, but this just might be the perfect option for you if you&#;re looking for the perfect case!

Pros :

Durable and sometimes inexpensive, these bags offer tons of room. The wheels are replaceable and it&#;s a great type of bag for traveling on airplanes. The weapons stay safe thanks to the hard shell, and padded foam is great for weapons without a PVC shell and for the mask. Rolling a bag like this during big competitions on the big venue is better than killing your shoulder!

Cons:

These bags are heavy!! I once tried to move one and my beautiful designer ring was bent! This kind of bag will also not fit into a regular car, and they can be hard to handle in the daily caring to and from the club &#; they take up a lot of space in the changing rooms or on the shelves. This kind of bag probably isn&#;t great for daily practice simply because it&#;s so heavy and the compartments are all together.

The bottom line:

The real deal on  this bag is that it&#;s cheap and good for traveling, even if it&#;s not perfect for daily practice. SKB makes really nice hard shell bags with strong handles.

2. Line bags

Another option is to purchase a line bag. These are more the standard in fencing, and there are a lots of options available to fit anyone&#;s budget and needs. Google &#;fencing bag&#; and you&#;ll find tons &#; but which one is best for you? Keep in mind that these come in small and medium sizes, which you&#;ll find under several names like &#;standard&#; and &#;advanced,&#; etc. depending on the brand. They have strap that allows you to carry them over your shoulder and can be shaped in a variety of ways.

Let&#;s break down line bags.

Pros:

Small line bags are quite often the perfect bags for beginner fencers. With one compartment, line bags are good enough to carry one or two weapons to practice.  In the early stages of training you don&#;t need a huge bag that will fit all three weapons doubled and a couple of masks to carry. It&#;s important to recognize that kids may change their mind and quit &#; and it&#;s less painful should they do so if it&#;s not the most expensive equipment.

Cons:

These bags are very basic. The one compartment is pretty limiting, and if your child has had this one for a while then it&#;s probably time to upgrade as they&#;re likely getting more and more equipment. They can also get heavy, especially for smaller kids, as they rely on pure muscle power to carry all of the equipment.

The bottom line:

For beginner fencers this is often the absolute perfect way to get in and get started.  Try the basic &#;Absolute Fencing Gear&#; bag, which will probably be good enough.  All you need to do is to choose your favorite color.

3. Rolling line bags (wheels)

Advanced fencers may well want to consider a rolling bag with wheels on the bottom.

Pros:

These bags are usually come with two compartments &#; good to separate things, organize blades and sweaty socks. There are often lots of pockets on these kinds of bags, so your child will be able to get a lot of stuff in there and organize it well. The wheels are of course great for carrying tons of heavy stuff around without killing the shoulder.  Compared to golf bags, things fit better in soft ones like these.

Cons:

More pockets are definitely better, but more pockets and compartments equal more money. However if fencing is what your child dream and live, that means you will travel more, and your life will be easier with better bag. Wheels help carry heavy stuff, but for small children they are difficult to handle and carry over steps in the club.

The bottom line:

Wheeled bags are definitely a great way to go for the serious fencer. They offer tons of versatility, ease of use and organization.

Important considerations for fencing bag

A fencing bag for local training, with wheels or without, that is of  a medium size with two compartments is good enough. However for airplanes you will want to consider a hard golf case so that there is no need for PVC cases in addition to the weight. It&#;s ok to have one bag for home and one for travel!

Shape

Fencing bags come in a wide variety of shapes. The pear-shaped (&#;Guitar shaped&#;) fencing bags  are something that we&#;ve been found to be good for beginners, but they cannot fit tons of  equipment. Sometimes the mask, chest protector and a couple of weapons will make it full and  less comfortable to carry.

The more straight, rectangular shape is more ergonomic for usage, especially for advanced / competitive fencers. It seems a bit counterintuitive because wouldn&#;t the curved shape be better? However we&#;ve just not found that to be the case in real life &#; the more square shape is actually much more comfortable!

Details

When choosing a bag, it&#;s important to consider the details like side pouches and end pockets &#; great for cords, mask cords, gloves and else  &#; snacks, staff, clean extra t-shirts. They add to the cost, but they also very much add to the comfort and can be well worth it. Look around for the bag that fits what you&#;re needing, because keep in mind that this bag will be used quite a lot!

Final thoughts and tips for families

For families with one fencer, big rolling bags such as Uhlmann or Leon Paul, would be a great choice. However, avoid rolling bags with wheels that stick out, because the wheels can be easily broken during transportation by airplane companies. Such bags are big enough and comfortable enough to carry as much gear as one fencer might need.

For families with 2 fencers or even more, I would recommend hard case big golf bag. That&#;s actually what we use! In such a bag I can put as many as 12 weapons and even two masks and there was still room for couple more. In addition to this bag I take with me the small foldable bag to carry the uniforms at the venue.

I found this solution working the best for my family &#; overall it reduces the number of bags needed specifically for fencing, which translates in less money to check in your baggage and overall better travel experience.

Be open and flexible when choosing a fencing bag! Look around and ask other families in your club about what works for them and where they got things etc. so that you can get what you really need and you&#;ll know where to find it in your area. You&#;ll also be able to see that bag in real life, and if you&#;re shopping for a new bag then you can really get a lot out of putting your hands on one in a shop or at a vendor rather than just looking at a picture online.

There are fencing bags for all tastes and budgets. Whether you're just getting your first few pieces of gear or have a full kit and several spare weapons, there is always a bag suited to your needs. Read on to learn which factors to consider when choosing a type of fencing bag.

Models

Most fencers start with a small fencing bag. Since they don't have a lot of equipment to start with (or at most a full set), a basic bag is fine. It's when these fencers become serious competitors, and travel more often and with more equipment, that they switch to a bigger, better bag.

Weapon bags can be used in combination with a gym bag or backpack by a fencer who has little fencing equipment, or who does not need to carry their full equipment all the time.

Bags with a single main compartment, either with or without wheels, can hold a full set and up to two weapons, while dual compartment bags can hold up to four sabres/epees or six foils in addition to a full set.

With or without wheels

In general, a larger bag will be heavier, especially when full. For this reason, some models are equipped with wheels. If you have a minimal equipment, a rollbag is usually nice until you have to lift it to get it in the car or to climb stairs. This can be especially difficult for younger fencers. A bag without wheels also has the advantage of being much less expensive.

Rollbags also vary both in design and location of their wheels. Larger wheels provide a smoother ride and make it easier to roll on different surfaces, especially outdoors. Recessed wheels are less likely to be a problem on luggage conveyors, but wheels that extend beyond the width of the bag provide better stability, do not accumulate snow or debris, and are easy to replace if ever they are damaged.

Materials

All fencing bags are made of fabric that resists tearing. Usually, a vibrant color is a testament to the quality of the fabric. Some bags have a liner and others are even reinforced at common wear points. Basic bags are designed for light use (regular training and local tournaments), while the higher-end bags are designed to stand the test of time even with more intensive use.

Among the aspects to consider when buying a fencing bag is the quality of its hardware. This means fasteners, clips for straps, etc. The majority are plastic (albeit of varying grades), but some manufacturers use metal parts. The quality of the zippers also varies between models and brands.

Rollbags all have a rigid "structure". Some bags have a plastic bottom, some use thin plywood, and others have a metal frame. Bags that have less of a strong structure have the advantage of being lighter. However, this is to the detriment of durabilty, especially if they are mistreated during transport.

All rollbags have reinforcements on the outside, under the bag. In the case of bags with a plastic or wooden bottom, these reinforcements add to the rigidity of the bag, while for bags with a metal frame, they often only serve to prevent damage to the underside of the bag.

When purchasing a fencing bag for travel, it's important to consider the quality of the fabric and stitching. Premium rollbags are designed to withstand almost extreme wear and tear: they are made of a heavyweight, highly tear-resistant fabric and have reinforced seams. Their cheaper equivalents are aimed at fencers who compete locally; they are not likely to survive an airplane ride without damage.

Dimensions

It goes without saying that the size of the bag will be a decisive element in your choice. Your bag should accommodate all your equipment and allow you to organize it to your liking. Among the things to consider, it is necessary to ensure that the bag:

• Has enough compartments and subdivisions for you to organize your gear.
• Is large enough to accommodate the equipment you plan to purchase soon.
• Has enough exterior pockets for your bottles, snacks, papers, etc.
• Is not too big to carry (eg. in the case of a child).

Usage

Your choice of bag will also be influenced by how you intend to use it. Depending on your situation, one model may be better suited. For example:

• A large bag is inconvenient on the bus or in the subway.
• A wheeled bag is appreciated by those who walk long distances to their club.
• A good quality bag is strongly recommended for fencers traveling by plane or passenger bus.
• A light bag is often a good solution for a young fencer, or for those who have to commute in the snow during winter.
• A weapon bag is useful during tournaments to carry your spare weapons.

These scenarios are only examples. Consider the pros and cons of different bag designs depending on your situation.

Features and innovations

Each bag has its own features, some of which can even be considered essential. Some interesting features bags can offer include:

• Internal dividers to properly organize your equipment.
• Internal pockets or nets to keep small items like socks, snacks or spare parts.
• Exterior access to facilitate the weapon check process at tournaments.
• Insulated pockets for water bottles.

Some rollbags are also designed to stand upright. This is very practical in queues (for example, during weapon check, or at the airport), in addition to taking up less space at the club.

Each bag hides its own little surprises, which you can discover by reading the description on their product page. Visit the Bags section to search for your next fencing bag.

Pro tips

At Imex Sport, fencing is our passion. Here are some ideas we have come accross over the years, that will allow you to enjoy your bag to the fullest:

Pro tip #1:

If you carry your shoes in your fencing bag, keep them in a shoe bag. Whether fabric or something else, this shoe bag will keep you from getting your fencing outfit dirty or filling your mask with dust.

Pro tip #2:

If you have a basic soft bag, get a solid sheath for each of your weapons. This will increase the lifespan of your blades, since the sheaths will prevent your blades from bending when using the shoulder strap to carry your bag.

Pro tip #3:

If your bag is a single-compartment model, or if your weapons are in the same compartment as the rest of your fencing gear, get a sheath (soft or solid) for each weapon. This will help prevent rust on your blades and keep your outfit from getting dirty, especially when your outfit gets wet from practice or a tournament.

Pro tip #4:

If you have a big rollbag, always lift it when going up or down the stairs. This will prevent damage to the structure and the underside of the bag, and will greatly improve its lifespan.

Pro tip #5:

If you plan to travel with your fencing bag (airplane or passenger bus), read the article Planes and fencing bags, how it works. In this article, you will find lots of advice on how to limit damage to your equipment, how to avoid disaster if your bag does not arrive at your destination and everything else you need to plan before departure.
