Ok. But my question is not if you personnally like or dislike transparent
masks. Does anyone actually use those masks?

Several years ago, the main objective for the FIE was to make the
transparent mask obligatory. Now that I'm back into fencing, I wonder what
happened to this goal. (I stopped completly because of illness. It was too
heartbreaking to keep up with the fencing scene without being able to fence
myself.)

At the Jr. Olympics two weeks ago, I was with Elaine Cheris (#1 US
fencer -2000) and she introduced me to Zivkovic, who invented the
transparent mask. She used them extensively.

Thank you. ROTF. I like very much the comparison with the Power Rangers.

I would like to see a more stylish, maybe more colourfull, suit, but masks
like the butt ugly ones made by Leon Paul. By the way, have you notice that
in the movies (Star Wars, Power Rangers, etc.) the designers always choose
tinted vizors to hide the face?

Saw one as I was testing at the Intercollegiate fencing Championships last
Saturday at Boston College.

It was by Zivkovic.The fencer, don't recall the name, said she replaces the
faceplate, about $15, every several months as it gets scratched. She liked it.
Haven't seen too many others.

I know of one individual who purchased one perhaps two years ago
and used it for a while. I believe he discontinued using it due to
condensation. Certainly that would be an issue for any such mask
as it is for glasses as well.

Speaking of which what is the favored solution for keeping glasses
clear? I've tried a number of silicone derived spray ons and one
silicone wax - called "Cat Crap"- and still have a problem. Any
good tricks out there?
