V. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Is this mask officially certified by FIE? Can it be used in Olympic foil competitions?
A: Yes, it is equipped with FIE double system and has obtained official FIE certification. It fully meets the equipment requirements of Olympic foil competitions and all other international FIE-certified foil events, and can be used with confidence.
- Q: What is the advantage of the 1600NW bib compared to ordinary bibs?
A: The 1600NW bib has a higher protection level, which can withstand a puncture force of over 1600 Newtons, while ordinary bibs usually have a lower protection level (e.g., 350NW). For foil fencing with frequent stabbing movements, the 1600NW bib can provide more reliable neck protection and reduce injury risks.
- Q: How to maintain the stainless steel mesh of the mask?
A: After use, wipe the surface of the stainless steel mesh with a dry cloth to remove sweat and dust; avoid using water to rinse the mesh directly (to prevent damage to internal electronic components of the FIE double system). If there is stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp soft cloth to wipe gently, and then dry it in a well-ventilated place. Store it in a dry and cool environment to avoid moisture and rust.
- Q: If my face circumference is between two sizes, which one should I choose?
A: If your face circumference is between two sizes (e.g., 55cm, between SM 50-51cm and SL 53-54cm), it is recommended to choose the larger size. The mask is equipped with an adjustable headband and chin strap, which can be fine-tuned to achieve a snug fit. Choosing a larger size can also avoid discomfort caused by tightness and leave room for wearing a hat or thick lining in cold environments.
- Q: Is the inner lining of the mask replaceable?
A: Yes, the inner lining is detachable and replaceable. We provide matching replacement liners. After long-term use, if the liner is worn, deformed, or has an odor that is difficult to remove, you can purchase a replacement liner separately to extend the service life of the mask.
