What “350N” Means on a Sabre Mask
The 350N rating refers to CEN Level 1 under the EN 13567 European standard for fencing protective equipment, meaning the bib is tested to withstand at least 350 Newtons of penetrative force. This is the standard club and national-level rating, distinct from the higher CEN Level 2 (1600N) rating that the FIE requires for top-tier international competition. A 350N sabre mask like this one is a solid, well-protected choice for training, club bouts, and national-level events; fencers heading to FIE-sanctioned international competition should check their event’s specific mask requirements first.
Sizing Guide
This sabre mask is available in sizes S, M, and L. A properly fitted mask should sit snugly on the head without pinching, with the bib lying flat against the chest and the mesh a comfortable distance from your face. If you’re between sizes, most fencers find a slightly snugger fit more secure once the lining breaks in.
Who This Sabre Mask Is For
Given its CEN Level 1 / 350N rating, this mask suits club fencers, juniors, and anyone moving into electric sabre for the first time, as well as national-level competitors who don’t require an FIE-level 1600N mask. It works with all standard sabre body wires and head wires, so it drops straight into most existing electric sabre setups.
Caring for Your Mask
The removable, washable lining is one of this mask’s biggest practical advantages: take it out and wash it regularly to keep it hygienic, especially if it’s shared between training partners or used for back-to-back sessions. Let the mesh and bib air dry fully after each use, avoid storing the mask in a sealed, damp bag, and check the rear strap and tongue periodically to make sure the adjustment system is still holding fit securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 350N sabre mask safe for competition?
Yes, for club and national-level competition. FIE-sanctioned international events typically require a CEN Level 2 (1600N) mask, so check your event’s equipment rules if you’re competing internationally.
Will this mask work with my existing sabre gear?
Yes. It’s compatible with all standard sabre body wires and head wires, and the silver-lamé bib is designed for full conductivity in electric sabre scoring.
How do I know which size to order?
This mask comes in S, M, and L. If you’re unsure, measure your head circumference and compare it against your usual helmet or cap size, and lean toward the snugger of two sizes for a more secure fit.
