2.2.1 Bibs

The best masks have FIE homologated bibs to protect the throat,
and are required in high-level competition. 1600N bibs are
standard in FIE competition as of the 1995/96 season. The CFF
requires 800N bibs as a minimum in elite competition, while the
USFA has no FIE bib requirement.

Although it was announced that the bib would become part of the
foil target in the 1995-96 season, those plans were dropped.
