Mask

[Darksider]

Hi, I fenced some in college and was looking to get back into the sport and was hoping some one could sugest a relativly cheap but functional mask. I'm not looking for anything in the professional level, just some thing beginner like.

Thanks

That's the place.... the mask in question was an 10-12 year old Negrini model. I would suggest looking up the thread which discussed mask issues before settling for a cheap mask. There were many good reasons why FIE masks are the best.
