Colourful masks and spectacular acrobatics, that is Mexican Lucha Libre (the Mexican term for this form of wrestling). It has a strong tradition going back decades, when popular Mexican wrestlers became film and TV stars, and that the Lucha Libre tradition is actually tied to significant social and political issues.
Almost every major Mexican wrestling star wears a mask and doesn't use his real name. The true identity of the wrestler is kept secret. In fact, it is an incredible dishonour for a wrestler to have his mask removed, or to be seen without it. In rare special matches, the loser will be unmasked, a momentous event for the fans.
Our masks are hand made of strong colourful fabric with a tying lace at the back. Ideal for children, although they should fit most adults.
