I would probably buy one if you made that stuff for fencing helms. Hey Brian how is the ventilation on your masks? is it essentially only the front that would allow for airflow or do you have slits in the helmet?

I have taken a stick to the throat once when i played hockey, and thankfully my neck guard kept me from most of the fun that, it would have been. The gorget also looks like it might have been made to work in conjunction with the brigidine tunic which looks pretty sweet i must say, as for collar bone...

Well that would depend on whether you were looking at the cheaper stainless gorgets or the leather brigandine ones. I would also need to know which size you were looking for as the heights vary considerably. A rough circumference measurement of your neck would work just fine as well as I could then...

The short one looks about the same size as the neck guards i wore when i played hockey and those did not hinder movement at all. I just emailed the guy who makes them and i will let you know what he says.

I know exactly what you mean, let me know if it works because that would be a good choice. Jason did you also get a look at those WTC gorgets? they look like they would be perfect for neck protection.

the ringette cage looks like a good not so expensive solution. I will probably just end up saving up for one of "That Guys" or one of the ones that Brian makes.

Jason my mother just mailed me my old hockey helmet and i can show it to you on Friday, it is one of the ones that Eric Lindros promoted because he used to get so many concussions with the hard and soft areas that i mentioned in one of my previous posts. I am also thinking about how i could fabricat...

That one with the black bib looks pretty sweet, and the price is really good. I think i will probably get that one. Also I have to ask what is the likelihood of getting a concussion? One of the guys in my group was talking about fabricating the mesh screen onto th0se football helmets that have the s...

That is one of the ones that Brian Hunt from the Dwarven Smithy makes. At least it looks like one. The only issue is that he only makes about 4 a year due to time constraints and they are a little more money them i would like to spend at the moment. I have seen in some of the videos that most people...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if you guys used a particular type of fencing mask for sparing, some of the guys in my local group use hockey helmets or 3-Weapon FIE fencing masks. Now the hockey helms are good because of the concussion resistance, But the face mask on a hockey helmet will allow a...

I am fairly new to this but, a hockey bag would do well for you too. They are huge if you get one that is not meant to hold a child's set of pads, so unless you are planning on having a huge claymore in there it should suit you just fine. That and there are other pockets for First aid, water, and sn...
