Frequently asked questions
Useful information to help you choose products and equipment with greater confidence.
How should a fencing mask be cleaned and maintained?
A fencing mask should be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s instructions, avoiding treatments that could damage the mesh, bib, conductive surfaces or fastening systems. Removable padding may be taken out and washed separately when this is allowed for the model.
39SPORT recommends allowing the mask to dry completely after use, checking the mesh, stitching, elastic straps and rear tongue regularly, and never storing it wet inside the fencing bag.
When should a fencing mask be replaced?
A fencing mask should be replaced when the mesh is deformed, wires are broken, significant corrosion is present, the bib or stitching is damaged, or the fastening systems are no longer reliable. A mask that appears intact may also need inspection after a heavy impact or prolonged use.
39SPORT can assess the visible condition of the mask and replaceable components, but a mask with structural damage must not be repaired informally or used for training or competition.
What is a fencing mask cord used for?
A fencing mask cord connects the conductive part of the mask to the lamé in systems that require it, particularly foil and sabre. The connection must be secure and compatible with the weapon configuration.
39SPORT offers dedicated mask cords and accessories. A traditional epee mask does not use the same connection; for modular foil–epee masks, check the configuration in which the mask will be used.

Certified safety for competitive fencing
The FWF 1600N mask has been developed to offer professional-level foil protection, suitable for both intensive training sessions and official competitions. The structure is designed to meet international standards, ensuring reliable defense during every bout.
Ballistic resistance and protective components
The core of the protection consists of a stainless steel mesh, capable of withstanding high mechanical stress. Neck and upper torso safety is provided by a reinforced bib in conductive fabric, tested for 1600N impact resistance, an essential parameter for compliance with current FIE regulations.
Technical construction and visibility
The mask design integrates materials certified according to the CE EN13567 standard, ensuring the integrity of electrical and mechanical components. The mesh geometry is designed to maintain clear visibility of the field of play, allowing the fencer to maintain maximum concentration during attack and defense phases.
Ergonomic comfort and heat management
The interior is equipped with a padded liner that ensures a stable and snug fit, reducing facial fatigue during prolonged use. The aerodynamic design promotes constant ventilation, preventing internal overheating and ensuring the necessary thermal comfort on the piste.
Recommended use
This device is intended for competitive fencers who require protection compliant with international circuits. The robustness of the materials and the precision of the construction make it a fundamental element for safety equipment in the fencing salle and at official tournaments.
