BANNED BY THE FIE (2014)
VISOR MASK
The visor mask has a section of mesh replaced with a lexan visor. While initially produced for all three weapons, it was most commonly seen in sabre (as it was briefly required for all FIE sabre events). Due to safety concerns, it is now illegal in all three weapons at any competition.
