Our new entry-level 350N epee mask has now arrived! This mask is perfectly suited for club fencers of all ages. It has a removable liner, which means it can be removed for washing.
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.
Perfect for clubs and schools
Removable liners are a game changer for your club or school. By purchasing multiple spare liners, you can reuse these masks for multiple practices during the same day, while ensuring every fencer gets a fresh, dry mask every time.
These removable liners allow you to cut down on mask purchases, have less inventory to maintain and store, and easily wash the liners to keep them fresh and free from odors. You can choose between multiple scenarios to fit your needs:
- Keep a stock of these liners in bins that fencers can pick from.
- Assign a club-owned liner to a fencer for a specific duration (session, year, etc.)
- Have each fencer purchase their own liners to use and bring home.
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.
