Sabre Coach Mask Protection

[OleMissFencer]

Hey

Just a few quick questions. Are the mask protectors (the slip on ones) sold by Allstar, Uhlmann etc, any good? My club has put me in charge of finding something for our sabre coach, and I didn't know if these covers are worth anything or if we should just buy a sabre coach mask. Please let me know.

They're excellent but somehow or another I manage at least once a lesson to snag my coach's with the tip of my weapon and fling it to the floor.

They tend to slip sideways and give one an endearing air like that of a hastily dressed nun.

I used to wear mine for doing sabre drills with my clubmates because the steady noise of the thwack on my head made me enraged and bewildered, but then I work with young children and eat lunch in an insufficiently sound-insulated cafeteria so I'm already over the edge.

You are strange and normal at the same time.

you know shy, one of my former teachers had no one to fence with for a while. fencing books are good presents, too much or too expensive is a bribe.

Well I have people to fence with in class, I just complain 'cause I don't get enough of it. They're all better than me, I need alot of practice. I think I'm becomming an addict.
