Hullo:
As we start to also explore some rapier fencing in earnest, I've had occassion to take two rather disagreeable pokes into the throat area. Each of these managed to slide up under the curtain of my three-weapon mask and were total game-stoppers. -Normally the hits aren't a problem, but this happening more than once could be.
Concerned over a crushed windpipe, I am wondering what other folks are using to prevent this. Anyone making a custom mask with rigid throat protection? Any advice?
Normally during longsword we've not had an issue. Too, the regular button-sized bruises across the body after a "rapier-day" ain't too bad...until they land on the throat.
