1600N HEMA FENCING MASK

BLAKLIST 1600N HEMA Fencing Mask: protection for tournaments and sparrings

The BLAKLIST 1600N fencing mask offers the highest level of protection for discerning practitioners. Are you wondering how to practise European historical martial arts without compromising on your safety? The answer lies in this 1600 Newton FIE certification, which is mandatory for competitions and tournaments organised by the French Federation of Historical Martial Arts (Fédération Française des AMHE).

This strength standard guarantees optimal protection during the most intense bouts. BLAKLIST offers equipment designed for those who refuse to compromise on their physical safety. However, take care not to leave your head exposed to blows of uncontrolled force.

When regulations meet technical excellence

This fencing mask is suitable for a wide range of martial disciplines:

• Historical fencing and European historical martial arts
• Combat fencing and Tolpar
• Traditional fencing
• Full-contact stick fighting with rattan sticks
• HMA practice with Feder long swords or synthetic Polish sabres

According to the official recommendations of the FFAMHE version 2.0 dated 29 September 2017, the mask constitutes “the only viable and recommended protection to safeguard the head and face when practising HMA”. This regulatory requirement applies at all levels, except in the specific context of full-armour combat of the Harnischfechten type.

The text specifies that a CEN2-standard mask with a padded chin guard is strongly recommended. Side and occipital protection provide welcome additional safety during intense sparring. This 1600N model far exceeds the requirements of the 350N mask, which is suited to less intensive traditional practices.

One point warrants your attention: depending on the intensity of the combat and the level of the fencers, a simple or full-face mask cover is recommended. Rattan weapons, steel or polycarbonate blades can damage your equipment during repeated contact. The occipital plate and dedicated carry bags are the ideal additions to your protective kit.

The 1600-Newton certification offers unrivalled peace of mind. This resistance, tested to the standards of the International Fencing Federation, allows you to face the most intense attacks without fear for your facial safety. As the FFAMHE points out: this protection becomes essential “unless you want to try taking a steel sword or a cane right in the face”.

The custom fit is another major advantage. The strap and chin guard gradually mould to your head shape after a few uses. The double-fastening system at the back of the head ensures remarkable stability, even during quick dodges and turns. You can move without any compression of the glottis, a crucial factor for maintaining smooth breathing during combat.

The removable, washable red lining revolutionises the care of your equipment. After each intensive session, simply remove it for a hygienic wash. This feature preserves the mask’s durability whilst ensuring constant freshness.

The BLAKLIST experience at the service of your practice

BLAKLIST has designed this fencing product with particular attention to the details that make all the difference. The meticulous, reinforced construction exceeds standard market expectations. The new black seam edges replace the classic white finishes, offering a more modern and professional look.

The redesigned face guard perfectly illustrates this pursuit of innovation. Its contemporary design is accompanied by a consistent 1600N resistance across the entire surface. This uniformity of protection eliminates the structural weak points sometimes found on competing models.

Versatility is a key selling point. This item is equally suited to traditional fencing training and competitive sparring. You are investing in equipment capable of keeping pace with your progress, from beginner level to the most technically demanding matches.

Complementary accessories are worth considering to maximise your safety. The occipital plate reinforces rear protection during bouts with synthetic weapons or swords. Dedicated carry bags protect your equipment between sessions. These items can easily be added to your basket to create a complete kit.

📏 Size guide available for a perfect fit and to avoid unnecessary returns

The question of size is of paramount importance. Poorly fitting equipment compromises both your safety and your comfort. Please consult the size guide carefully before adding this product to your basket. A mask that is too tight will cause uncomfortable pressure, whilst one that is too loose will slip during sudden movements. Take the time to measure correctly to select the size best suited to your body shape.

Your kit deserves the best possible equipment. This fencing mask represents a long-term investment in your safety. The quality of manufacture guarantees exceptional durability, provided you follow the care instructions. Check the grille regularly for dents, cracks or signs of rust. Damaged equipment loses its protective properties and must be replaced immediately.

Complete your kit with the recommended occipital plates for full coverage. These accessories integrate seamlessly with the mask and significantly enhance your safety. Your kit will thus benefit from optimal equipment consistency for practising HMA with complete peace of mind.
