Are fencing masks bulletproof?
1 Answer
No, fencing masks are not bulletproof. Fencing masks are a layer of metal wire mesh that protects your head and face during fencing but should not be considered protective under other circumstances. Shop a selection of vintage fencing masks and other sports memorabilia on 1stDibs.
