The VISION mask was the first transparent mask in the world to be FIE approved and is still recognised as the safest and most durable in the world. The polycarbonate layer has been tested to well in excess of 1600N and in fact is stronger than the mesh itself! The Vision 2000 has several unique features that make it superior to all other visor masks on the market. This version of the vision 2000 mask is fitted with the X-Change system making it the ultimate Sabre mask. All Leon Paul Vision 2000 now come with the Contour fit system ® as standard :
· The visor is made from two layers rather than one; an inner polycarbonate layer and an outer scratch layer that is inexpensive and quick to replace. On other visor masks once the polycarbonate (Lexan®) layer is scratched you have to replace it as it is a safety risk and makes it hard to see clearly.
· The visor is 30% larger and has a larger radius of curve than those made by other manufacturers which means you have wider visibility and no distortion. It also means that in sabre you have slightly less target area; no wonder it is the choice of the 6 Olympic medal winning US women’s Sabre team!
· The inner surface of the visor is pre-coated with an anti mist formulation that was designed for use on fighter pilots.
· On the patented X-change® models all of the padding and the bib can be removed and washed or replaced as necessary.
· The scratch layer and visor can easily be changed from the outside which is much easier than fiddling around trying to get access to nuts or screws on the inside of the mask.
The Vision 2000 mask is used by the Multi World Championship and Olympic medal winning US National Sabre team.
Our Improved Cooling and Evaporation (ICE) padding is a new shape and a new concept in fencing mask comfort. In the past big soft pillow-like padding that enclosed the head was always considered to be most comfortable; we have turned that tradition on its head and pared the padding to an absolute minimum whilst maintaining comfort. The ICE padding features memory foam for the crown and chin and grips your head with minimal contact leaving room for air to flow and improving hearing. The padding also features the same signature grey Transpor® dry layer lining as our top of the line clothing which actively pulls moisture from your skin allowing it to evaporate near the mesh!
