Armor One glove now in stock!

I just now (literally 30 minutes ago) got my first supply of the Armor One glove...so if you're going to the Palm Desert Open, stop by my table and check it out!

Also got a new T-shirt....fencing in the Old West.

Will post pics when I get back home,

Would this be your 800N glove? If so, what's the price?

Nope...this is the Armor One...the regular glove...$25 each. The Armor 800 (the 800N glove) will come out when I have the money to buy the Dyneema...it's expensive stuff!!

However, I should point out that Fat Fencer has a copy of the previous Armor 800 prototype, and I just got in the copies I'm prodiving to Edew, his student, and Sabrebell.

If enough vendors pick up the Armor One for resale, I should be able to get the Armor 800 out in time for next season...I think we're a little too close to Nats to make it in time for that event...but you never know.

The gloves are packed in the car, but the shirts are being washed and dried (to shrink them in advance)...herte's a pic of the art (keep in mind, this is the top shirt in a pile...which is why it looks crooked.

If you can't read the text, it reads:

"If the sword - NOT the 6-gun - had been the weapon of choice in the Old West"

(read in a Yosemite Sam-type voice)

Left fencer: "This piste ain't big enuf fer th' two of us."
Right fencer: "Them's fencin' words!
"Left fencer: "Yeah...them's fencin' words!"
Right fencer: "En Garde, yew varmint!"



Black printing on a light grey/blue shirt, $10 each


Note that they're wearing spurs, too!

Sam,

You've probably talked about it before... but what makes the Armor One special?

i.e. why would I want to buy that glove, when I've got a perfectly good Uhlmann in my bag?

Primarily 2 things....the closure of the cuff (the circumference around the arm) is longer by 5cm. Doesn't sound like much, but if you've got a beefy arm or a bunched up jacket sleeve, you have a REAL difficult time closing the glove on any other design.

2nd, the padding...I've got a 1/8" layer of closed-cell foam from the fingertips to the back of the cuff..and an extra 1/8" layer on the back of the hand...minimizes impact forces on the hand.

No, that's his "Armor 800". The "Armor One" is obviously a 1N glove.

I doubt that the Armour One is a 1N glove. You could break a one newton glove by moving your fingers quickly.
