All Triplette competition masks are made by Gajardoni, a small family owned company in Italy. We could get masks from a third world sweat shop that doesn’t know the difference between a fencing mask and a toaster oven, but we don’t. We have teamed with Gajardoni in the belief that a mask is a fencer’s single most important piece of equipment, and we should provide the best we can get in every price range. These aren’t the cheapest masks in the world, but we believe they are the best.
