Purchasing Tips: When measuring head circumference, use a soft tape measure to wrap horizontally around the upper edge of the eyebrow arch to the prominent part of the occipital bone at the back of the head. Keep the tape measure close to the skin but not tight, and read the value accurately to 1cm; for competitive scenarios, it is recommended to choose a size that fits the head circumference to ensure protection stability; if the head circumference is close to the critical value (e.g., 54cm, 58cm, etc.), it can be selected according to wearing habits—choose a larger size for a loose fit and a standard size for a tight fit. For the washable lining version, it is recommended to clean it in time after training to extend the service life; for the non-washable lining version, regularly wipe with a dry cloth to remove sweat.

Answer: Fully compliant. It has passed the authoritative certification of international HEMA competitions and is a professional protective gear recognized by most high-level competitions around the world, which can meet the protective needs of professional competitions.
What are the precautions for removing and cleaning the washable lining?
Answer: The lining is designed with Velcro attachment. It can be removed by gently tearing it off along the inner edge of the mask; hand washing with neutral detergent is recommended, with water temperature not exceeding 30℃. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or drying. After natural drying, it can be reattached for use; do not bleach or use strong detergents to avoid damaging the fabric's breathability.
Which version is more suitable for teenage competitive players?
Answer: The washable lining version is preferred. Teenagers have high training frequency and are prone to sweating. The washable design is more convenient for maintaining hygiene; after measuring the head circumference, reserve 1cm growth space. Choose XS size for 8-12 years old and S size for 12-16 years old.
Are there any other differences between the washable lining version and the non-washable lining version besides the cleaning method?
Answer: The core difference lies only in the cleaning property of the lining. The two versions have exactly the same protective performance, material strength, and wearing comfort. The washable version is more suitable for high-frequency and long-term use scenarios; the non-washable version is more suitable for users pursuing convenient maintenance and backup equipment needs.
Can this mask be used by spectacle wearers?
Answer: All sizes from XS to XL reserve sufficient space for spectacles. Both lining versions are compatible with regular myopia glasses, with no oppression when worn and no impact on vision or competitive movements.
