Warnings
The renewal of the mask bib and inner padding may only be carried out by trained specialists at our facility. Any independent disassembly or attempt to renew the bib or padding yourself is strictly prohibited and will result in the loss of product safety as well as any applicable warranty or guarantee claims.
A damaged, worn, or loose mask bib - especially if there are defects in the conductive metallic fabric - poses a significant safety and functionality risk. It can compromise protection in the throat and neck area and leadto faulty hit detection.
The fencing mask must not be used in training or competition if there are visible damages or significant signs of wear to the bib, the metallic fabric, or the inner padding.
Pleae regularly inspect the metallic bib for cracks, fraying, material fatigue, damaged or detached metallic threads, defective seams, or loose connections. The inner padding should also be checked regularly to ensure it fits securely and maintains its shape.
If you detect damage or severe wear, the mask must be taken out of use immediately and sent to us for professional renewal.
The mask may only be used again after the bib (including the padding) has been renewed by us and the mask has undergone a technical inspection.
Only through professional renewal at our facility can the full protective function, electrical conductivity, wearing comfort and functionality of the sabre mask be guaranteed.
Any unauthorized modifications or repair attemps - especially to the conductive fabric - will result in the loss of safety certification and may lead to injuries or technical malfunctions during competitions.
Caring and storing instructions
The mask bib should be thoroughly aired out and dried in a dry place after each use to minimize sweat and odor build-up.
Cleaning must be limited to surface treatment only. Use a soft, slightly damp cloth and a mild, pH-neutral cleaning agent.
Be especially careful to prevent the conductive metallic fabric from coming into contact with aggressive cleaning agents, alcohol, solvents or abrasive substances - these may permanently damage the electrical conductivity and structural integrity.
The inner padding must not be removed, washed or soaked. Gentle dry cleaning using a damp microfiber cloth is acceptable.
Do not machine wash, soak or tumble dry the bib - this will destroy the structure of the fabric and the metallic mesh.
Check regularly wheter the conductive fabric remains intact, clean and conductive (e.g., no signs of heavy oxidation or brittleness).
Store the mask in a dry, well-ventilated place, ideally in a breathable, form-stable protective bag.
Avoid direct sunlight, high temperatures, extreme cold or high humidity - these conditions can damage or prematurely age the fabric, the metallic mesh and the inner padding.
Make sure that the matallic bib is not bent of permanently deformed during storage, as this could damage the conductive mesh.
A heavily damaged, unhygienic or technically defective mask bib must no longer be used.
The bib is composed of textile fibers, foam padding, plastic components and conductive metallic mesh.
For disposal, the compnents should be separated where possible and disposed of accoding to local waste regulations: Textiles/ padding: As general waste or textile waste, Metallic mesh: As scrap metal.
If you are unsure about proper disposal, please contact your local waste management service.
