This heavy duty mask is for the committed fencer and for school programs. Top choice for durability, at a very reasonable price. The M3 is also a model of comfort. It rests lightly on the head with a small pillow and the chin and jaws nestle on padding. The sturdier over all construction extends down to all important features of the mask. The pliable bib sports a heavy front and is not only sewn in but also riveted. The noise-reducing head band for non-electric saber is also fixed by rivets. Within, the mask is laid out with a colorful and hygienic liner, designed for comfort of the skin with sweat absorbing fabric that is easily cleaned. There is a forehead restraint that prevents the face from colliding with the mesh with a jarring contact and a terry cloth-lined strap that keeps long hair from getting tangled up as it keeps that mask on tight from the back. A thoughtfully designed mask, comfortable and tough. Lining colors vary.
