3-Weapon Mask w/ Detachable Bib

This mask is not allowed for competition, and not recommended for bouting. The bib is small and detachable, affixed to the mesh of the mask with a series of metal snaps. I bought this mask to give lessons with, and it is quite good for that purpose -- light, leaves your ears uncovered, and has a leather band over the bridge of the head for receiving sabre cuts. I was thinking the bib could be detached and washed, to solve hygiene. Instead, the snaps were the first to rust, first requiring replacement bibs, and now destroying the mask unless I can poke new grommety things through the mesh. The mask will last a long time if it can be dried out between uses, so don't store it (like me) in a sweaty equipment bag.
