Hi I was wondering why the fencing style of head/face cover seems more popular than the conventional round hat style. I chose the latter as to me it creates distance around the entire head and face, whereas the fencing style seems to rest upon the head more. What are you views?
The reasons are veiled in mystery baldrick..sorry
I suspect is nothing more than folk just copying what most of the other locals seem to use. I confess I haven’t ever even tried a round hat type but get what you mean. My main suit is quite ancient but on its ? third detachable hood. I have pretty unthinkingly just replaced like for like.
Although the cotton material hood does sometimes contact the top and sides I can’t recall ever being stung through it there, but then I do have hair like a Wookiee.
