V. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between carbon steel mesh and stainless steel mesh?
Answer: The core difference lies in material performance and service life. Carbon steel mesh has high cost performance and can meet basic protection needs, suitable for indoor training or short-term use, but attention should be paid to moisture and rust prevention; stainless steel mesh has anti-oxidation and corrosion-resistant properties, no special maintenance is required, suitable for long-term high-frequency use or outdoor scenarios, and has a longer service life. The protective performance of both meshes meets the 350NW standard.
Can the bib color be customized besides black, red, and blue?
Answer: Currently, three standard colors (black, red, blue) are mainly provided. For bulk team purchases, the bib color can be customized according to the team's color requirements. Please contact the sales team for specific customization details.
Is there any difference in protective performance between 350NW and 1600NW bibs?
Answer: Yes. The 350NW bib is suitable for basic training and entry-level exchange scenarios, which can resist regular striking impacts; the 1600NW bib has a higher protection level, which can resist high-intensity impacts and punctures, suitable for high-intensity training or professional entry-level competitions. The protective level of the mask mesh remains 350NW, and the bib protection level is an upgraded option according to usage needs.
Is this mask suitable for users who wear glasses?
Answer: Yes. All sizes from XS to XL reserve sufficient space for glasses. Regardless of the selected mesh material and bib protection level, it is compatible with regular myopia glasses, with no sense of oppression when worn, and no impact on vision and training movements.
How to maintain the colorful bib to avoid fading?
Answer: The colorful bib is made of high-color-fastness fabric. It is recommended to hand wash with neutral detergent; avoid using bleach or strong detergents. After washing, dry it in a cool and ventilated place, avoiding long-term exposure to direct sunlight, which can effectively prevent fading and extend the service life.
