Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"
I've got an old Santelli snap-in around here somewhere... Or do you mean that can actually be used in competition?![]()
There's a different answer if we are talking about removable mask liners that can be washed. Many sources for that, with variations on how much of the bib is removed.
Whoopee! My avatar is back.
As to comments on the visored saber masks... They suck. They are heavy, stupid expensive, high maintenance, have reduced airflow and every one I have seen will fog. So in short, unless you are planning to be in the top of an FIE event, save your money and go with a good standard saber mask. At least that;s my opinion on them.
As to a good FIE saber mask, I am a big fan of the LP saber masks myself and if you fence a lot of saber the Xchange mask will save you money down the road as the part that wears out quickest is easy and simple to replace. I have also heard good things about the FWF saber masks, but I don't have any direct experience with them.
