    Electric Sabre mask

    This topic has probably already been posted to death, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

    Sabre fencers: What electric mask do you reccomend?

    Money is not a limit. I feel that I have something to protect up there, so I'm willing to pay. I may have to wait to purchase other (fencing) items, but that isn't a problem.
    Some people are like slinkys. They serve no useful purpose, but it sure feels good when you push them down the stairs.

    Uhlmann, or maybe Leon Paul X-change, with a removable bib

    And if money is not a limit, you could also buy a mask with a visor...

    I agree with the previous recommendations, Uhlmann/Allstar FIE, Negrini FIE, or Leon Paul X-Change would be the best choices. Either way, make sure you get an FIE mask.

    Uhlmann/Allstar FIE with the removable liner, Negrinni FIE or the LP Exchange mask. All of the offer super protection and the LP and Uhlmann have nice features as well as being super awesome. The Negrinni is a bit less in the US and is a great mask. If money were no limit for me I would go with the LP Exchange mask just because I love the idea of being able to replace the bib if it ever goes bad and I keep hoping the Barry and the crew at LP will come out with a swapable bib so that I can use one mask for saber and epee.

    I'd go with the Leon Paul X-change. Yes, it's more expensive up front, but two years down the road when you only have to buy a new bib to slide in, instead of either a whole new mask or shipping it to someone like Bill Hall to have a new bib made and sewn-in, the extra money up front will be more than re-couped.
