Read about Fencing Pictures Athlete Bas Verwijlen (Netherlands),
who has been using the fp FIE Foil/Epee mask.
Can it be true?
Fencing equipment with the same quality and attention to detail as all Fencing Pictures products?
Short answer: Yes. Here is the long answer.
Standard Mask
Our Standard Mask for clubs and competitions fits like the best, looks beautiful, and has an entry-level price. We all start cheap, and then save up for the "good" mask — here is a great mask you don't have to build up to.
One of our innovations in all our masks is better padding all over, but especially the chin (they fit!) and head (no more head-aches for sabrists!). Now you can fence all day long in comfort. The first shipment of 100 masks was received in November 2005 at the fp headquarters, and after 60 days they were sold out... thanks to great word of mouth advertising. Everybody tells us how good the masks feel.
To assure quality, our Standard Masks are CE Certified ( Conformité Européenne ), the quality standard used in the EU.
FIE Masks
New! Now, we are very excited to announce our next big product: Fencing Pictures FIE-Certified Masks . We teamed up with the reknown Italian company, Gajardoni in Verona, Italy, to produce a special edition in black. Like our standard masks these are comfortable, light, and good-looking.
There are three models available, the FIE Foil/Epee mask , the regular FIE Sabre mask , and the Clear FIE Sabre mask . These are all approved by the FIE SEMI Committee for use in International A-Grade competitions.
FP Athlete Bas Verwijlen has been using Fencing Pictures equipment all season, in several World Cups and Grand Prixes. He never has a problem at weapon control, and he especially likes our body cords. Bas will be among the first fencers to receive and use our new FIE Mask.
What are others saying?
Who is going to be the most experienced and judgmental user of the FP line of equipment? The coaches! We spoke to several coaches near our headquarters in Boston, MA.
"Great mask, great lames, and very nice blades. FP is what I use and recommend. The sabre blades especially are solid and attractive, and the price is certainly right. FP, you're on track." — Cesar Morales , Saber coach at Boston Fencer's Club, Boston, MA
"FP masks are the most comfortable masks around, there is no doubt. And the FP blades are the best blade for under $50 -- stiff, durable, and they don't break easily. We are using them in the club and they are a great investment." — Zoran Tulum , Owner/Head Coach of Zeta Fencing Studio, Natick MA
