"The X-Change mask is the best mask in the world." Two time Olympic Gold medallist Mariel Zagunis
Why do top fencers think that X-Change masks are the best in the world?
CleanerThe X-Change system allows all the fabric parts to be completely removed from the Stainless steel shell and machine washed. This keeps your mask clean and fresh.
LighterBy utilising the lightest strongest materials and removing unnecessary metal it is much lighter than standard masks making it more comfortable.
CoolerOur Improved Cooling and Evaporation (ice®) padding is a new concept in fencing mask comfort. By reducing padding to an absolute minimum and using hi-tec wicking fabrics and memory foam we have created a mask with up to 75% more airflow than standard masks. This keeps your head cooler. The other added benefit is it allows you to hear your coach in training as the ears are uncovered.
X-ChangeThe bib can be slid out of the mask which means not only can you wash it monthly or replace it every few seasons but you can also have a range of different bibs for different occasions. For example you can use a black coaching bib when giving a lesson exchange it for a white epee bib and then swap that for a lame foil bib.
*If you want to be able to use the same mask for electric Epee, you can order the Epee X-Change bib (ref: 280CXB)
*Optional Extra
Our Improved Cooling and Evaporation (ice®) padding is a new shape and a new concept in fencing mask comfort. In the past big soft pillow-like padding that enclosed the head was always considered to be most comfortable; we have turned that tradition on its head and pared the padding to an absolute minimum whilst maintaining comfort. The ice® padding features memory foam for the crown and chin and grips your head with minimal contact leaving room for air to flow and improving hearing. The padding also features the same signature grey Transpor® dry layer lining as our top of the line clothing which actively pulls moisture from your skin allowing it to evaporate near the mesh!
