Equipment Advice
Hello everyone, I'm a fairly new fencer and plan on purchasing some equipment of my own and was wondering if anyone could help me in telling me the quality of the equipment I was planning on getting. So far I have decided on a Leon Paul FIE Foil Mask (Silver color, anyone know any other places I can purchase silver/white foil masks?), Uhlmann Blue Washable Glove from Blue Gauntlet, and also a PBT Electric Foil Jacket Washable Nickel Inox Metal "ICE Blue" (Lame) - Men's. Any comments on these? Any help would very appreciated.

EDIT: Links to the equipment

The mask is a solid performer. I have been using LP for a few years now and have just bought another. Depending on the shape of your head, you may find an LP slimmer than others esp E Euro brands. I have a pretty small head and still manage to get into a M in a LP. Bear in mind that the bib is wipeable (i think) and that the internal is also adjustable which is quite handy....

If you buy the LP mask I would recomend the contour fit system. It is definitely worth the extra fiver.

Absolutely - i have never used it but hear great things about the system especially if you are forever cursing the common strap / plate set-up!

Triplette also sells a white mask. I like it because my opponent can't see where I'm looking.

Is it on their website? If so, could you please give me a link because I can't find it. Thank you for all the responses. Any comments on the lame?

It's on the website. The Triplette 3 weapon mask for $80.

No picture is available of the mask though.
