Replacing after 4 years |

I bought this mask in 2019 with the back of the head protection. It has done me well for 4 years, but the rivets holding the inner strap on have broken, so I am replacing it. It will definitely make sure your head stays safe. I have been clobbered while wearing it, and felt nothing. Its also nice to know that you have an extra few inches of steel preventing an accidental back of the head it.
Other than rivets breaking after a time, which is a continual problem with HEMA equipment in general, note that the mask plus back of the head protection is heavy, and you will want to keep your neck in good health. I have had a few issues straining my neck. Who is to say if a heavy mask contributed to it? Any way, race car drivers and foot ball players do neck work outs and I have benefited from these exercises as well. I am also trying a lighter mask this time around, though the decision not to just replace my old warrior mask with a new one was difficult.
