    Hold off on new mask?

    Since I started fencing for my college team I decided I would replace the crap I used all through high school. My only concern is the new rule for foil about bibs being legal target area means I'd have to get a new mask with a conductive bib. When is this rule going to be implemented for nationals and USFA tourny's? Or should I not worry about it and go ahead and buy a new mask anyway, not gonna lie, the one I have now smells like a fat clown's asshole.

    X-Change rules

    Do not wait - buy a Leon Paul X-Change for foil (+ice padding)
    BTW, it will never smell bad, because the padding/bib is reduced, washable and replaceable.

    USFA is not yet adoptiong the rule...they are taking a wait and see stance on it....and remember, safety does not wait....if you can get a new mask now...do it.
    Need fencing equipment? See me at H.O.M. Fencing Supply

    Going to your first tournament? Read "Choose yer weapon, Laddie (or: Dude, where's my foil?)"
