I need Leon Paul contour system help So I took apart my leon paul mask that has a removable bib and all of the parts inside to wash it. After having a lot of issues putting it back together (i completely forgot how the pieces went in) I got it back together, but now it's much looser on my head than it used to be. How do you use the contour system to tighten it? basically when i move my head side to side, the mask stays in one place and doesn't follow my head at all. It's waaaay too loose and it's really annoying!

Did you wash only the pads, or the elastic as well?
If you washed the elastic you may need to replace it (if it's really that loose), otherwise; here is a quick diagram of what i've found through experimentation of my own.
The numbers refer to the velcro tabs.
Top (forehead) pad
_____1
_____|
_____|
2----------2
1 - Adjust for height of cross piece on forehead
2 - Adjust for distance of forehead from mesh
Contour fit elastic & cup (back of head piece)
_____1
_____|
_____1
___-/--\
2__|___|__2
___-\--/
1 - Adjust for cup position at back of head
2 - Adjust for tightness on head (in conjunction with Top-pad-2)
Hope this helps.
p.s. ASCI rocks. .

I echo your post script.
That was, indeed, awesome ASCII. You are an old school master.

Yeahh I'm not going to fence epee. I'm a high school fencer and my head isn't going to grow. It wasn't as loose as I thought, but I adjusted the pad and that helped a lot. i think I just had it slightly off in there. The elastic is fine, and the mask fits fine now. Thanks a ton!
