HEMA Head Protection

Our Red Dragon HEMA Tournament Fencing Mask has been developed for the serious practitioner. For many HEMA activities our standard Red Dragon HEMA Mask will suffice, but if you are looking for something with a higher level of protection, or looking to fight in tournaments, our Red Dragon Tournament Fencing Mask will perfectly suit your needs. This CEN 2 mask comes in HEMA Black and features a 1600 newton bib, removable washable liner (handwash only) and heavy-duty adjustable strap. Available in Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.

Sizing for fencing masks are based on your vertical head circumference.

If you do not have a mask you already wear, measure your face by taking a tape measure, holding it underneath your chin with your mouth slightly open, from under your jaw, up past your ear, past the top of your head, down past your other ear, and back down to the bottom of your chin (from where you started).

Measurement around Face
- Small: 56-59cm
- Medium: 61-64cm
- Large: 66-69cm
- XLarge: 73-76cm

If you do have a mask you already wear, measure around the inner circumference of the mask from where your chin would sit and back around.
