Description
This Red Dragon HEMA Tournament Fencing Mask is crafted for those who engage deeply in historical European martial arts. While the standard Red Dragon mask meets the needs of many practitioners, this tournament model offers enhanced protection suited for competitive bouts. It meets the CEN 2 safety standard, providing a sturdy frame in classic HEMA Black. The mask includes a bib rated to withstand forces up to 1600 Newtons, designed to protect the throat and neck during intense exchanges. Inside, a removable liner can be handwashed to maintain hygiene, and a heavy-duty adjustable strap ensures a secure fit throughout vigorous movement. The mask is available in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large sizes.
Sizing for fencing masks is determined by measuring the vertical circumference of your head.
If you do not already have a mask size to reference, take a tape measure and place it beneath your chin with your mouth slightly open. Run the tape upward past your ear, over the top of your head, down past the other ear, and back to the starting point under your chin.
Interior dimensions of the mask are:
Height: 10.5 inches

Fun Fact: The design of modern HEMA fencing masks draws inspiration from the protective headgear worn by medieval knights, who relied on sturdy helmets to defend against sword strikes in battle. Today’s masks combine that historical legacy with contemporary materials to keep practitioners safe during spirited tournaments.
