Wukusi Cobra Fencing Mask

$220

The high end, high-protection fencing mask you have been waiting for. The integrated overlay and back of the head protection offer higher than average impact resistance and force distribution. Internally the suspension is tough, and there is more padding than a standard fencing mask. The rear of the mask opens to allow you to slide your head in, then closes back up to fully envelope the head.

The hits to the plastic are a little more noisy than being hit on a padded overlay, and there is obviously less ventilation. In our testing, this is a small price to pay for the increased protection. Plus you'll look like one of those TV bad guys! ;)

Sizing: Measure around your chin, in front of the ears, and straight over the top of your head, full circle. If you're in between sizes, we recommend going with the larger size. Internal pads are designed to be removed if you cannot squeeze into your given size.

Small: 56-60 cm / 22-23.6 inches
Medium: 61-64 cm / 24-25.2 inches
Large: 65-69 cm / 25.6-27.2 inches
X-Large: 70-76 cm / 27.5-30 inches

Phenomenal mask

Fits nice and snug true to mask size, just be sure to adjust padding in there for a better fit. Also keeps glasses on nicely.

Keeps my teen safer

My teen was fencing with a regular mask and got a concussion. I immediately got him this mask afterward and it has better padding and the smooth design helps swords slide off. I highly recommend.

Very durable mask

Very strong and well constructed, bit on the heavier side. Measured my head at 27" which was to be a large, went with XL due to people saying it runs small, and I am glad I did, fits perfectly

Bad fit for me, great product, epic customer service!

To begin with, these set a new bar for HEMA head protection; they address the primary issues with using normal fencing masks for HEMA by being designed to withstand blows to the sides and back of the head and having increased internal padding to better withstand longsword blows (as compared to epee thrusts).

Measure your heads! Mine is right between the medium and large on the size chart. I tried a friend's large on at my club and it was too big. I ordered a medium and it turned out to be too small even with a fair bit of effort put into adjusting the internal padding, so I sold it at a small loss.

SoCal Swords went above and beyond service-wise. I asked them to overnight it to me so that I could bring it to a tournament, and they did without charging me anything above the normal shipping cost! Super helpful and awesome. Thanks, guys!
