    Epee glove??

    Can anyone recommend a good synthetic/washable glove well suited for epee? (not a lot of bulky padding on the back)

    Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

    Having been through lots of gloves, I'm happiest with my current glove which is an Uhlmann washable. Long cuff, fairly slick. Good fit and right amount of padding.

    My son swears by his Allstar glove. Similar to the Uhlmann except red trim and cut tighter.

    Other Gloves I've had:

    Prieur épée glove: Great glove, nice leather, gets smelly. Ruined it when trying to "tighten" it up. Cuff not so slick. Uses slit (I hate that)

    Triplette G-5319: Similar in look to Uhlamnn. Not washable. Cuff not as long.

    Triplette G-7671: All leather. Great fit and padding. No velcro. Uses slit (did I mention that I hate that?).

    Triplette G-2462: Comfortable. Not washable. Cuff seemd to catch a lot of blades with me. Very minimal padding.
