Riveted Leather Back Of the Head Protection

This listing is for a handmade leather back of the head protector that can be attached to the back of your fencing mask to protect you from harm. This model is identical to our hand stitched BOHP, but is riveted together, which makes it slightly more affordable, and looks pretty cool. Each one is made out of 8-10 ounce latigo cowhide (unless the natural color is chosen, in which case it will be made out of 8-10 ounce vegetable tanned cowhide)

To add rigidity, you have the option of having yours impregnated with wax, which makes the leather extremely hard and adds to the protective nature considerably.

Hardening the leather will darken the color considerably, so keep this in mind when ordering lighter color options.

The protector is connected to the mask via three straps, one that slides over the tongue in the back, and two more that you thread the elastic strap through.

This item was designed to fit most fencing masks, please contact me if you need special adjustments for yours.

These protectors are legal for most fencing schools, but be sure to check with the official rules and let me know if you need adjustments in order to qualify.

If you need any other customization, feel free to contact me.

Helmet not included.
