    I bought washable glove from the fencing post a month ago. 12 practices later, there is already a hole on the index finger and the seam between the hand part and the cuff got torn after one epee touch.

    My first glove looked almost exactly like this, except the cuff was more...
    rigid

    It's lasted me almost two years, though a hole is starting to form in the palm by my middle finger, and the tip of that finger is starting to wear a little thin. Been thinking about picking up a new one, but I'll do so once the class starts up again in the spring.

    For me the improtant thing to choice a glove mainly is comfort at all, the cutting and material can affect you hand feeling. I alway choice the glove is made of PU. The size will be half size larger the my hand. It can let me conmfort.
    About the clammyness of the glove, I don't think the glove is needed the sticky coating, because I never hold the grip very tight in fencing Foil. Too clammyness glove will affect the speed of movement.

    Sodet leather glove is also a good choice.

    I have both a physical chess and an allstar glove. I first got the physical chess glove and was really good for the money. After I got my allstar glove, I noticed a difference. The biggest difference is the allstar cuff does not catch epee hits to the arm like the physical chess glove did. The allstar glove also has a noticeably better feel to the glove in the fingers (translates to better point control). For epee, the allstar/uhlmann gloves are worth the extra cost, but if you mainly fence another weapon, I would definitely reccomend the physical chess deluxe washable glove as the best glove for the price.

    I have a glove that I bought from Sword Masters two years ago that is still in excellent shape. God I love that company.

    Are these gloves you guys are talking about those washable ones? I'm asking because I want to know what's the difference between leather gloves and washable gloves (besides the fact that leather ones can't be washed).

    I wonder about the durability of leather versus washable gloves...

    Anyone care to offer their knowledge about this?

    In my case, the leather gloves lasted longer, but then again, I fence epee and I pommel the grip. I usually would get my hole in the thumb.

    Depends on the glove -- I've got a leather glove from 20 years ago that still gets used occasionally. Still supple, still very comfortable - but thin, and not padded. I typically use a PostSport washable glove. Very reasonably priced, and its been washed a couple of times and has held up for over a year of 2x weekly use.

    THese gloves are very comfortable and reasonably priced. I use these for our club gloves and also recommend them to our area fencers.

    I like the way they hold up and the "stretch panels" actually breath making the glove cooler too.
