Mask Fittings & Bib Styles

Fixed bib masks feature a non-removable bib that provides additional protection to the fencer’s neck and throat area. Unlike traditional masks, the fixed bib masks have replaceable forehead padding, offering flexibility in terms of comfort and impact absorption. However, it’s important to note that the chin padding is seamlessly integrated with the fixed bib and cannot be replaced independently, ensuring consistent and reliable protection during activities.

The padding in the mask is designed to be interchangeable, providing flexibility and customization options. With two distinct types of padding available, each set includes both face and forehead padding components. This allows fencers to select the padding that best suits their preferences, ensuring optimal comfort and impact absorption during fencing. Whether you prefer a softer or firmer feel, the interchangeable padding system allows you to choose the right fit. The bib can be slid out of the mask, meaning you can wash your bib, or replace it or change it for a different occasions. |
