Wukusi Cobra Fencing Mask

The clip that holds the BOH protector down is improved. The clip is easy to unclip while the mask is on your head; it's not very easy to clip in without actually looking at the clip. The Wukusi XL is probably one of the larger masks on the market.

I generally like Wukusis over other fencing masks because my risk of concussion seems lower (probably slightly headshape/size-dependent): I recently got a fairly minor concussion from a very overpowered blow to the top of my head in my original Wukusi, which would have been rather worse in my AF. The FOV is also better than most masks.

The drawbacks are that they're definitely louder both inside and out when you get hit, and you get a matchstick-head, which looks silly and takes up a bit more space, making it marginally more likely for a thrust to actually hit your mask in a tournament environment, even if it wouldn't have without the mask on.

I take out some of the side-of-head and sometimes chin padding because the mask is stable enough on my head without that stuff, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend this if you have a poor fit or if you panic away from blows or don't train your neck.

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.

Mask works great. Customer Service was excellent.

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 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
