MASKS
Head

Starting from underneath the chin, go up the side of the head, over one ear, over the top of the head, back down the other ear, and back to under the chin to make a complete circle. (Essentially you're measuring the circumference of the part of your face that the mask will be encircling.) Use a soft ruler or yarn to measure, and make sure to keep it snug or else you'll wind up with a mask that's too large.

Also Note: Your masks are adjustable! If you receive your mask and are unsure if it fits, please ask your coach or an experienced team mate to help you adjust.

If you measure in at the following you need this size mask:
XS Small (0) Medium (1) Large (2) XL (3)
Under 21" 21"-23" 24"-25" 26"-28" Over 28"

FOIL LAMES SABRE LAMES
Foil lames are usually the same size as your jacket. Add 6" to your chest measurement for an average fit. You may be able to get away with adding 4" for a very snug fit. Sabre lames are usually the one size larger than your jacket. Add 8" for your chest measurement for an average fit. You may be able to get away with adding 6" for a very snug fit.
