    Armor Two glove released!

    Per suggestions from various people, I' ve changed the padding layout in the fingers of the Armor One, stopping at the first knuckle of the fingers. This has resulted in the same great impact protection for the back of the hand and forearm, but with increased flexibility and feel in the fingers.

    Same retail price.

    Craig should get his supply in a week or so (just sorted through it...should go out tomorrow...need to get a bigger box) and I have a small supply....will bebuilding up THAT inventory as time goes by,

    Matt Hite...your gloves will go out tomorow as well...they look awesome!

    I should be getting the samples made in the near future...almost 40 of them (trying to get all the possible layouts of material done in one shot).

    Don't expect the 800 series for a bit...I won't release it until IU'm satisfied with it.

    As for pics...

    Looks like a good foil/saber glove, but it'd be nice if it came with more a more slender and more elasticy (Is that a word?) cuff, for epee.

    There are three gloves in the picture. There is also a dark green one at the very top that blends into the background. I don't know if that is what is being referred to but it is more green than the other one.
    the force goes bam.

    The top 2 gloves are the same one -- I just turned it over so people could see the palm.

    The bottom one IS an olive drab....I hadn't thought of that. (maybe if Army Fencer buys one of thise, I'll put "Glove, fencing....one each....olive drab" on the invoice!)

    seven6ty...I'm not thinking very clearly just now...could you clarify that a bit?? Not sure what you're getting at.

    I think he wants one that is as tight and low profile as possible, to reduce the chance of forearm hits.

    Exactimately.

    That's one of the things I hate, most gloves flare out at the cuff, it can be so hard to find a good glove that is slim fitting and very elastic in the cuff.

    I like the red and blue, actually. It's not nearly as loud as I'd thought it would be, it helps me find my glove, and it's great advertising for you.

    Wow. That purple one is very cool. I mean, it's so cool you could store a frozen cornish hen in it for a good deal of time.

    I love the look the look of the errr purple gloves. Don't take this the wrong way but it looks like any other glove I've owned. Let's see what the reviews say!
