V. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are the main differences in use between carbon steel and stainless steel materials?
Answer: Carbon steel has high cost performance and a texture close to traditional fencing protective gear, suitable for limited budget or indoor training use, and daily moisture and rust prevention should be noted; stainless steel is anti-oxidation and corrosion-resistant, requiring no special maintenance, suitable for outdoor use or long-term high-frequency use, with a longer service life.
Is there a clear distinction between the application scenarios of 350NW and 1600NW bibs?
Answer: Yes, there is a clear distinction. 350NW is suitable for daily basic training and entry-level exchange activities, which can resist regular striking impacts; 1600NW has a higher protection level, which can resist high-intensity impacts and punctures, and is suitable for professional competitions, advanced confrontation training and other scenarios.
Is there any recommendation for material and protection level when teenagers choose?
Answer: For teenagers, carbon steel material + 350NW bib is recommended, which has high cost performance and can meet the needs of entry-level training; after selecting the size according to the head circumference, reserve 1cm growth space. Choose XS size for 8-12 years old and S size for 12-16 years old. Later, the material and protection level can be upgraded according to age and training intensity.
Will this face mesh affect the flexibility of historic fencing movements?
Answer: No. The product is specially developed for historic fencing. The curvature and weight of the face mesh have been optimized, fitting the head contour and adopting a lightweight design. It will not restrict core actions such as sword swinging, blocking and stabbing, balancing protection and sports flexibility.
Can it be used normally by spectacle wearers?
Answer: Yes. All sizes from XS to XL reserve sufficient space for spectacles. Regardless of the material and protection level selected, it can be compatible with regular myopia glasses, with no sense of oppression when worn, and no impact on vision and sports movements.
