Description
When crafting a fencing mask for the heat of tournament combat, protection must take precedence without sacrificing comfort. This Red Dragon HEMA Tournament Fencing Mask is built to meet the rigorous demands of Historical European Martial Arts practitioners who face sharper blows and faster exchanges. Designed to meet CEN Level 2 safety standards, the mask features a sturdy steel mesh faceplate and a bib rated to absorb impacts up to 1600 newtons, guarding the throat and collarbone against thrusts and strikes. The adjustable strap ensures a secure fit, while the removable liner, intended for gentle hand washing, helps maintain hygiene after long bouts.
Sizing for fencing masks is based on your vertical head circumference. To measure, place a tape measure under your chin with your mouth slightly open, then run it up past your ear, over the crown, down past the other ear, and back to your chin.
Interior dimensions of the mask are approximately 11 inches in height, 8 inches in width, and 9 inches in depth, allowing room for padding and head movement without compromising protection.
Key Features:
- Tournament-grade fencing mask constructed for higher impact resistance
- 1600 newton bib protecting the throat and upper chest
- Removable and washable liner (hand wash only) to maintain freshness and hygiene
- Heavy-duty adjustable strap for a secure fit during intense bouts
Weight: Approximately 2 pounds 13 ounces Slight variations in dimensions and weight may occur due to handcrafted assembly.
Fun fact: Large HEMA fencing masks for tournaments often feature reinforced mesh and thicker bibs compared to practice masks, as tournament-level fencing involves faster strikes and sharper blades, demanding extra layers of protection to keep the swordsman safe.
