I'd like to see more on this, how does it take impact, and so on. It looks great but there seems to be no data out there on youtube with the 'big' names. So want to see it tested against other mainstream gear
THe masks looks great, but I can't find too mcuh info about it.. could you please do a follow-up vid, an dmaybe compare it to some of the more mainstream HEMA masks?
Thanks for the first impression - how is heat management, how much warmer is this mask compared to a regular HEMA mask with a back of the head protector? And how about glasses, any way to show us how someone wearing glasses puts this mask on? I've heard people saying it's a bit of an issue with the Wukusi mask but no one has shown any videos yet.
It actually feels a fair bit cooler! Remember, this is eliminating an entire thermo-barrier layer of air and heavy fabric protector! Though that said, I heavily recommend wearing something specifically for heat management like a Frogg Togg Chilly Dana (not sponsored, I've just been using them for years and haven't yet found something better). I actually normally wear glasses but switch over to contacts for fencing, so I can make a video on that. I spent close to a decade wearing glasses under my mask before finally getting contacts, and so while I know how to put on a mask with glasses and can do it... I'll be honest that the quality of life improvement is such that I don't actually ever want to do it again. But if you only see this comment and not the follow-up video: You can definitely wear glasses with this mask, but if they start to slide down it can pain to adjust them (just like with any mask), and thus I recommend something like boating glasses straps that are designed to keep your glasses glued to your face (I've used the brand 'Chums' before and they worked just fine). There are two other bits of feedback I have for the company as well; one that's a functional-aesthetic piece and another that's a functional-safety bit (super easy fix though), so I really needed to make a follow-up video on this mask. It's an amazing off-the-shelf mask though, and I'm so glad I picked it up.
My club instructor and I got this model in February 2022 and we're very happy with it.
