This HEMA sparring mask is CE 350 N Certified. The mask is composed of a black steel grill with a padded cloth neck guard. The interior is of padded nylon and is designed to tightly fit the face. The interior padding is riveted to the mask to ensure that it stays securely in place. The mask is securely fitted to the head with a wide velcro strap and a bendable leather-covered steel backstop that fits against the back of the head. For HEMA, this product has been classified as either appropriate for all skill levels or appropriate for those with Advanced Skills. Michael Turner, instructor at Tuathair Academy of Swordsmanship, assisted us in categorizing these items for the different skill levels of HEMA participants. These categorizations are meant as guidelines. Please refer to tournament rules for specific competition requirements. For this purpose, we do not include swords that may be used in cutting competitions in the HEMA category. SIZING INFO: To check your size for the helmet take a soft tape measure and wrap it around your chin and the top of your head – the tape should pass on top of the ears on both sides. That face circumference will determine what helmet may fit you best.
