PBT Fencing Glove - Washable "STICKY"

Have any of u guys own a PBT Fencing Glove - Washable "STICKY"? I am a French grip epee fencer who pommel a lot. I want to have some glove which can help me to grip the pommel a little but better. The allstar one is good in terms of griping but the grippy stuff are not very durable. They comes off easily. From the website I saw this PBT one, it looks pretty good. I wonder if any of you guys get a close-up picture of it so I can take a good look. (the one on the website is really small) thx!

its a good glove, and its very supple. Allows a good feel of the weapon. However, the actual stickyness of it is minimal. Its overpriced. However, you can take a normal glove, and make it sticky, by putting on some of the grip tape they have at lowes. Its black, and thick, and I put it on the fingers of my gloves for extra texture. Also, if you're a pommeler, you might want to check out the PBT pommel... the heaviest one. It has a good feel for pommeling, and gives alot of grip texture.

I used to own one for a couple of hours, you can read my review on it here.

You'll find a pic of the glove in question enclosed. This was the biggest I could find.

Forget investing in a glove. It's too expensive for what you are trying to do. I also pommel with the french grip. Try using hockey tape. It offers a marvelous grip - one that goes along with any glove.

Really? I have the allstar gripstar, and the rubber stuff on the glove seems to hold up moderately well, as only 1 piece of the rubber has fallen off on the thumb on where I grip my weapon, and I've had this glove for 6 months now.
