X-CHANGE FIE FOIL/EPEE MASK HIGHLIGHTS
X-Change FIE Contour Foil Mask
Cleaner
The X-Change system allows all the fabric parts to be completely removed from the Stainless steel shell and washed. This keeps your mask clean and fresh.
Lighter
By utilising the lightest strongest materials and removing unnecessary metal it is much lighter than standard masks making it more comfortable.
Cooler
The removal of excess padding and unnecessary parts of the bib mean that airflow through the mask has been increased by up to 75% compared to some competitors masks. For the ultimate in cooling please see the ice® padding upgrade.
X-Change
The bib can be slid out of the mask which means not only can you wash it monthly or replace it every few seasons but you can also have a range of different bibs for different occasions. For example, you can use a black coaching bib when giving a lesson then exchange it for a white epee bib and then swap that for a lame Foil bib.
Protection
Most masks use a metal strip around the back mesh, but Leon Paul masks use a split plastic tube in addition. This is to stop the blade whipping over the edge of the mask and causing painful hits to the back of the head, the tube absorbs the force of the blade and prevents this whip over.

What they say
The X-Change mask was and still is a revolution in fencing
All other masks use the same technology and were much of a muchness. Leon Paul threw the old template out the window and made a super comfortable and breathable mask that works for the modern top-level fencer. The fit, the customisable padding, the removable bib and the attention to detail make this the obvious choice.
