Our new 350N foil mask has now arrived! This mask is perfectly suited for competitive fencers of all ages. It has a removable liner, which means it can be removed for washing, and a stainless steel electric bib for added durability.
This mask also features the FIE-style double strap. Although this type of strap is not mandatory in most settings within Canada, it does allow for a better, snugger fit of the mask, as well as reducing the chances of the mask shifting during play.
Removable liners for the win!
Our full-face, removable liners are a game changer for how you use your mask. By purchasing spare liners, you can make sure to always have a freshly washed liner for today's practice or tournament.
These liners are ultra soft, and offer great padding that is not too firm.
Adjustment
Your brand new mask may feel to small, but sometimes all it needs is to be adjusted. To get the perfect fit for your mask, please read our tips for a perfect mask adjustment.
Certification

This mask is certified for all club, regional, provincial and national tournaments within Canada. It is also accepted in most other countries, although specific requirements may vary.
Composition
Mesh: Powder-Coated Spring Steel
Bib: 100% Polypropylene
Electric Bib: 30% Polyester, 30% Cotton, 40% Stainless Steel
Liner: 100% Polyester
Durability
The durability of these masks is typically 1 to 2 years for the electrical bib. This may vary considerably based on factors including:
- Proper care, maintenance, use, transport and storage of the mask (see the maintenance section below)
- The acidity of your sweat (some people can get just about anything to corrode)
- The frequency, duration and intensity of practices and tournaments
In tournaments, the rule for the electrical conductivity of the bib is strictly enforced. This means that when the bib no longer conducts electricity adequately (the maximum is 5 ohms), the mask can no longer be used in tournaments. In most cases, it can still remain functional for club use for several years, despite being over the 5 ohm limit.
